Okay, Rich you have been starting this, but I thought I would kick it off if you didn't mind.

So here we are at another weekend. What is planned in your shop this weekend?

I am trying to get several more cutting boards finished for the First Friday Craft Show next Friday night. Only two more until Christmas so I want to have a good inventory for these next two. Tomorrow will be cutting board day.

Unfortunately, I'll not be in the woodshop. Fortunately, I'll be on the campaign trail for a good conservative friend of mine running for state representative.

Sorry to hear you have been laid up Steve.

I know why you have a migraine, it is all of the angles floating around. I not sure if I need the board right side up or up side down now. >

Take the camera and post of a few pictures of the tilt gauge.

For some unknown reasons, i'll be out there working with a tablesaw, LOL. Tilt gauge on mine is a PIS, so I'll take along my grandsaon's protractor. Last few days I've been laid up, sick as a dog( white? LOL) and even had a migraine at work last night. Vicadin is long gone, so is the "haze". 800 Motrin is now a candy. IF I have some spare pine around, maybe I'll start some end tables. We'll see.

Ron,

Best of luck to them on the campaign. The time is drawing close and we need to turn this thing around.

I'm going to be working on cutting angles on the table saw.

I'll be reading all the Basic Geometry posts this weekend! It'll take me all weekend. Naw jest kiddin. That was fun.

I am playing with some Live Oak lumber to see if it would make a nice chair. I got a few cutoffs today and I am going to finish them out to see what surprises happen. Then Sunday we have Trick or Treatin to do.

Steve, invest in a Wixley. It is wonderful and only $40.00

I'm still "horsing around" That is with my rocking horse. All the wood parts are done and finished. The details of the harness and saddle are yet to be designed and installed. My wife is away and she is a great quilter/crafter and I will wait and let her do the sewing of the vinyl to make most of it. I was going to take a picture and send........but CRS got in the way.

Good Monring John,

I have been so busy with client work that I can't find te time to make some things for myself and since you pointed me to the mandrel I may just take some time to go to Woodcraft and get one so maybe just maybe I cna turn a few pens for gifts.

Is Woodcraft open on Sunday?

Ralph

Mine is, but they close a little earlier than normal.

Well I have been at my real job all weekend. I even missed my 30 year class reunion.

I started a overhaul of an oxygen compressor last Monday. It was supposed to finish on Thursday. I finally finished at 2130 on Saturday night. It's been a long week of 12 hour days.

I hope to get a little shop time today.

Wow Greg, those are some bodasious hours. Maybe you ace rest today.

Wow it sounds like some great projects going on in all of your shops.
Gene, sounds like you got a good start on the shop updates. When you get a chance, post a few pictures so we can all see how it is coming.
Richard and John, I know how you feel on those angles. I read most of that thread last Friday and I am not sure where to set anything now.
I hope they figure it out and someone will just give me the cliff notes version.
Ron, sounds as though the Rocking Horse is getting close to being released. When you get the chance give us an update. I love seeing those updates.
Ralph, hope you got to the Woodcraft and picked up that Mandrel. Let us know if you got any pens turned. I must warn you, it is addictive, but I think there is help for the addiction here on the forum.
Greg, man I understand about pulling those long hours. Hope you get a little rest and some good time in the shop, Hey you got those great new tools that are going to need some love and attention to get the proper welcome to your shops. Maybe this week will be better.
Was a busy weekend for me as well. I got one of the chess boards finished, (will post a picture later) and one more that will be ready to take out of the clamps tonight. Got two more cutting boards made Saturday also. Trick or Treat was held here on Saturday night so we took our five year old granddaughter out trick or treating. She was a beautiful butterfly.

She had a great time and it was fun for me just watching her. Most of the young children came by before it was dark which was good.

Glad to see everyone getting some shop time in, when you can share your projects in the forums with us.
Have a great week and remember that tomorrow is election day, exercise your right and vote!

hi John,
No, I didn't get the chance to go to Woodcraft because I was busy selling projects. I am truly blessed for with the economy being what it is the good Lord has blessed me four fold of late. I must have done something right for a change. I picked up two counter tops to make as well as a mantle out of QSWO which will stain Mission Oak, two book cases that will run on each side of a fire place to the walls and 8' tall. So all in all I say we had a pretty good week end.Oh I almost forgot, I have to make another window for the mate of the last one I made.
