Ouch!

Yep, that left a mark.  It is a violent hit. 

It is what it is.

Hmmmm, Christmas wrap, an empty roll tube, a pile of shredder trappings, a drywall or roofing hatchet, a pen and a belt...

OK Mr. Wizard, I give up...whatcha' got planned here?

Not a danged thing, just a random shot of my workbench at a given moment in time, as the spirit of this topic dictates, just walk out into your shop, shoot the bench, and post it here!

The shredder trappings is actually a string of Christmas lights, framers hatchet, other things. Came home on Tuesday from work to a cleaned up exterior of our home, all the Christmas lights had been removed, grass was mowed, back to normal, my 13 yr old son took some initiative and helped ol dad out, I was very happy it was all done for me! The string of lights on the bench is the last thing to be put away after the Christmas Season. Someday I'll woodwork!

Oh, yeah, now that you mention it, I see those are lights...probably should clean my glasses and drink a second round of coffee... Wish I could mow grass...of course it might help to warm up above zero...and, oh yeah, melt about 8" of snow too.

You've got a really good son there, but suspect you know that already...

Sorry, not unless I'm forced to do so; was out there a couple times earlier in the week when I had to change battery in my wife's Jeep at 12 below...I thought the battery was only 3+ y/o...apparently it was 6-1/2 y/o. I'm still trying to figure out where those other three years went

Camera doesn't work that well when it's below zero; probably because I don't work that well when it's below zero.

I wonder which bench I should take the picture of.

The clean one of course.

Yup! The one you keep for photographic purposes only!

OK I’m gonna try to upload some photos, can’t promise anything LOL.

I guess second time is the charm, here’s my benches. Please understand I’m just starting out, and other than building the work shop my only project has been to make a corn hole bean bag game for my son, for his new house.

Nice layouts, Artie. I recognize that lower saw guard. but, I didn't see the saw.

Looks like a very good start on the shop. Now to fill it up and then build a bigger one

I thought I saw (pun intended) A blade guard for a Craftsman RAS. And welcome to the forums, Artie.

Artie nice shop, I like those stools with the bottle cap seats.

You and Gene both SAW the saw blade guard for a Craftsman RAS. It is being rebuilt (or truthfully, it has been sorta disassembled).

Woodcraft had them on sale for 1/2 price if memory serves, the Missus picked them up for her contribution to the shop. One of my best friends and his wife, have become OUR best friends, and the joke is him and me are gonna go down to the basement, turn on a machine so it makes noise they can hear upstairs, and then sit on the seats and play cribbage all afternoon. This way we can swear and tell bad jokes, and not get in trouble.

Hey Artie, we'll not have that here...You're letting out century old "trade secrets" that can & will be used against us. It makes the rest of us retirees look like we don't do anything

 

BTW, great start on the shop. Good planning by mixing some 220v outlets in the runs with 110v. Nice job on the WW'ing bench top, well actually on both. Looking forward to seeing the bench tops getting cluttered with projects. Leave pictures of the cribbage boards out unless you can stage you're making them. Otherwise physical evidence to be used against us.

Reminds me of this
