Man Cave
Built this miniature man cave to see how many planks I actually need for my real life man cave. Now that it's built this miniature man cave sits somewhere on the wall in my workshop where it serves as place where to hide money or rum flask
All shed is built using strips of pine wood and tooth pics without a very little drop of glue. I'd say 85% of construction is made without glue. Just drilling holes for tooth pics to be forced in to hold pieces together.

Great job you have done there. Looks like a lot of work has gone into it. I hope it has gone a long way to giving you the information you require for the real thing.
I don't think you are going to get it to use in the shed by the way your little one is looking at it.

Well, scale shed showed me for sure how many screws I'd need ad planks for project. So based on that information I changed some details about real life project and built
slightly different one. here's the picture how it turned out for me.

Whatever you call it Silverlux; It's a very impressive with the "NO GLUE" construction...top marks.
Very clever using the tooth picks as a form of nail, well done.
cheers, crowie
