Popular Post Ron Dudelston Posted July 18, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 Man, am I ever late to this party. As many of you know, The LOML and I (mostly me) have been laying tile, laminate and carpet throughout our house. Everything is done except laying tile in the utility room. Yesterday and through this week the water heater, water softener, washer and dryer comes out and new flooring does in. Yesterday was removehe water heater day. It is now back in so the pressure is off somewhat. Next week I have a show and I need to make a few cutting boards so hopefully there will be some shop time.

You gotta knock that stuff off Ron, you're making the rest of us look bad. I build a drawer for our vanity one weekend and my wife thinks it's a successful weekend in the shop! You lay carpet, tile, remove appliances, and get ready for a show, your making me look bad dude!

Not sure if that counts as being IN the shop... Of course it does, finishing is half the effort.

Gene Howe Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) Things just keep getting better. My old Triton SCMS sat snugly in a recess atop a 12’ row of cabinets so that the tops of the cabinets were level with the saw’s table. Now, the base of the Bosch is about 4” wider than the recess. Widening the recess is not an option due to the drawer and door configurations. Gonna have to span the recess and set the Bosch on top. That means building an auxiliary table to each side of the saw as well as a new “back fence” for the sliding stop. And, I ran out of 220 discs and I still gotta get that library card. It’s gonna be a while before play time. Edited July 18, 2017 by Gene Howe Grandpadave52, HARO50 and steven newman 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chips N Dust Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 We had the wife's new stove delivered Friday morning (was suppose to show up after 3:PM) and the slot for it was a bit to narrow for the stove to fit (the stove was little wider than the 29.875") so Friday night, after a nice long day at work, I got the sander and vac out and sanded down edges of the counters so the stove would fit in its new home, then leveled it up. Wednesday night, I took the old stove out and installed the new hood to match the stove. steven newman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Updating jigs, accessories and locations is a lot of work! I imagine this will be my last major tool acquisition. After some more head scratching, the new mounting won't be as onerous as I first thought. Won't be real pretty but, it'll work. Still gotta mount it on top. Use the recess for measuring tools and dust. Grandpadave52, steven newman and HARO50 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
