January 12, 20251 yr Popular Post Guess I just like ones with 4 corners.. Easier on my brain, that way...

I got stuck on the good, bad , ugly theme and time for the roof came. I got physically wiped out and have been house bound. My wife loves it, she calls me Hazel..

January 16, 20251 yr Popular Post First project of 2025 Who am I trying to kid? I haven't been near my workbench in months. These are on the kitchen counter. More convenient and far warmer.
January 16, 20251 yr Popular Post I'm just waiting on my garage shop to thaw out. No rush to finish my current furniture project. Small project I finished yesterday was to repair the ends of a shelf so I could put it back to use. Rear corner broke out. Shelf ends have a t-slot that slips over screw heads. Cheap melamine coated particle board. I CNC cut out a 3mm recess on the ends and CNC cut a filler piece from 3mm baltic birch plywood to glue into the recess. Seems to work fine.
January 17, 20251 yr That’s my problem. The shop is in the 50’s , but I like it at 75. Don’t want to pay to turn heat up unless I can commit all day to the shop.No point in heating it up to stare at it all day.. Edited January 17, 20251 yr by BillyJack
