This week about all I have done in the shop is make a mess. I have been working on the addition and taking things in and out and just laying them wherever I could.

 

You can read about Part 4 of the expansion here.

 

I did manage to work into the week some cutting boards. 

 

I ran two large, two medium and two smalls with this patch. I will cut out another batch over the weekend to have for First Friday next week.

 

As always, we here at TPW love to see and hear about your projects. Share with us your plans for this weekend in your shop or with your family.

 

 

Finally getting back into the shop after being a mason tender most of the past week. Eldorad stone finished, shutters installed the porch posts painted and landscaping lights replaced. Still need to make some decorative corbels for the porch posts and some minor electrical changes. I think this stage of the home upgrade is about finished.

 

I have a mallet to turn and need to finish a small tile top deck table. And of course, relatives will be here next week. Not sure how that will affect the plans.

John's work ethic amazes me. As does Lew's. You guys are multitaskers of the first order.

My job this weekend is cleaning the shop. I'll be starting another chair soon and it's always good to start with a clean shop.

No John, he is still in Texas at this time. It is still in the crate in my downstairs garage.

Thanks Gene. I just try to keep busy and not sit around too much. Every now and then I have to push myself though.

 

Show time for this Hoosier tomorrow. Hopefully, the weather will hold.

I promise you as soon as it can be opened and setup, we will document it and copy you with it. He is hating that it is sitting here and he is there and can't use it.

Have you turned anything out of that wood I shipped to you?

Not yet John. I may not turn anything from it, I am reading up on making hand planes Krenov style, they may end up as hand planes. It's perfect lumber for that purpose.

I just got this book in the mail a few days ago and I love it.

 

John, in your honor, it's another Morris. His and hers. One down, one to go.

When this one is done, there's two rifle cases, a jewelry chest, a router lathe and some canes, to make. Oh, almost forgot the SCMS upgrade and assembling a new to me Shopsmith powered jointer. Ahhh, if I were younger.

It's fun alright. If it wasn't, I would do something else. Needle point has always intrigued me.

You got a few more years before that happens. Beside, I don't think they make a thimble big enough.
