Based on a Patreon request from Mark Clover, I’m drawing up individual floor plans for shops, stores, vendors, and businesses along a single market block. As I draw these, I also have the overhead views drawn out on a map of the city block as I go, so when the series is complete you can use them on their own, or as a fully mapped out block of shops.This is our eleventh shop on the street, a carpenter’s business south of the Riddle of Steel.As could be guessed by the name of the shop, the carpenter is a big lumbering man named Hank. Hank is built at the kind of scale where seeing him pick up a table or a load of lumber and carry it around just seems… natural. While Hank is a good carpenter and the business thrives (he built the roofs of most of the shops along the street), his location and backyard area have pushed him into providing unworked wood to amateur carpenters, those needing to do their own repairs, and even other carpenters who need some extra stock on short notice.The shop itself is a very small three story structure with an extension off the front where most of the woodworking is done. Hank has very little finished stock on hand, mostly doing custom work and stairs to best fit the client’s living space. He typically has an apprentice helping him in the workshop, building simple boxes and chairs when there is no other work on hand.Hank lives alone on the narrow upper floors of the building – his apprentice returning home after working hours. The second floor is a small sitting room and living space, decorated with well-worked wood of course. The upper floor is Hank’s bedroom, where an incongruously ornate dark wooden bed frame stands in sharp contrast to the paler wood of the building and all the other furnishings.The back yard is gated (although the southern gate is inaccessible due to the lumber stored there), and is where Hank stores his lumber and some of the larger furnishings that have not yet been collected.The 1200 dpi versions of the map were drawn at a scale of 300 pixels per square and are 8,400 x 6,300 pixels (28 x 21 squares). To use this with a VTT you would need to resize the squares to 70 pixels (for 5′ squares) – so resizing the image to 1,960 x 1,470 pixels.[URL unfurl="true"]https://dysonlogos.blog/2024/12/06/building-11-lumering-hanks-carpentry/[/URL]</blockquote>
