Everything's okay. I now do home dialysis. Doctors office called today and said I can stop taking Eliquis. This was good news to a woodworker. Sometimes your on a forum too much and I will get cranky. Sometimes better to step away for awhile..

This is my new project. Getting ready in a week for that first day of school.

You’re the guy. Right? The one with a 6” I-beam hidden in the mailbox post, anchored  into half a yard of 3400lb test concrete?

I can smell those pine curls from here Jim.

Lookie what these planks are finally becoming. (prototype) Table No. 4 (ship-lapped) and perhaps a tray or Table No. 5. (butt joint).  Mmmmmm, Pine-Sol 

 

 

 

@Woodman...

That's nice grain matching.

Thank you, gentlemen! I spend a fair amount of time on the board before resawing it, then keep the planks in order. Consistency is key, just like in the F&B industry  Those french fries and ice-cold beers have to come out the same way every time in order to pair up right.

What's on the bench, right now?

Just the usual mess...

If only a messy bench were the measure of genius . . . But I do know where everything is. 

 

 

well ole gal shanhaied me into working in shop today, had to share with me the alien she found hiding there.

 

 

and she was sanding away, the really light ros she uses as shes a small gal, took a dump, so ordered another cheapy, i typically sand them to 220 and she fiddles around, does a nice job, but i still gotta touch up with the hand pad sander, quality control ya know.

Cool! I like it. As usual, very creative. Fill the base with sand or car wheel weights; should be fine.

I filled the base with Kitty Litter to kill the last of the remaining oil smell

Assuming it was clean kitty litter? Well, either way it should kill the oil smell.

Ya know Gramps, I think I'd prefer the smell of oil.
