The story

This 8×10 lean-to was designed and fabricated as a working shop space rather than a simple storage shed. The structure uses a welded steel tube frame for strength and precision, combined with high-quality wood products for the floor, walls, and roof deck. Steel was cut and prepared at a local shop, then brought back for final fit-up, grinding, and welding.
