you got that right....

I agree.  Enjoyed the story.

Ok, I cleaned off the B&D Workmate in the shop tonight.   Closed the moving jaws up tight.  Will need to buy a couple lags.    Somehow managed to haul that heavy SOB of a sander down to the shop, and placed it on the Workmate. 

 

I WAS going to retire the old 3 wheeler bandsaw.....it was a might too much trouble to remove it from it's stand.    So, it got a reprieve, of sorts.   I have the belt sander table standing straight up.  The disc table has been moved around, and installed to use with the beltsander part. 

 

IF I remember, I'll take a camera down there this week.   A little show & tell?

Ok, I think I have all the other bits rounded up.    There is two complete sets, from a #4 up to a #20.   There is an extra one or two with double flutes.    There is a 5 piece set of HiKraft bits, all stamped as such on their shafts.    A few gimlet bits and twist drill bits.    And Two #11  x 16" long bits.     I think I'll keep the 5 pc set in it's roll up holder.   Not sure about the LONG bits, just yet.

 

 

The OEM box may get a second life.....seems I have a few rosewood handled Stanley squares and sliding bevel gauges to stash somewhere.    Might toss the marking gauge and the hand forged marking knife in as well.  May need to rearrange a few holders in there, first. 

 

Plan ( plan?  PLAN?  I use PLANS??) is to make some sort of "rack" to hold all those boxes.  Like a wooden systainer?    Slide a box out to use the items inside, slide it back in when done.  Have a BIG empty under the bench.......Hmmmmmm.....and half a sheet of 1/2" plywood.   Maybe AFTER this knee gets fixed up, eh?

Dude...give that knee a break for a bit (no pun intended)...or at least get it elevated some throughout the day and evening...evening you wrap an ice pack on it 1/2 hour at a time. Just trying to get you rehabbed in time for the next picking season!
