Popular Post John Moody Posted February 3, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 So here we are just past Ground Hog's day and I'm not sure what it was like in your area, but here there were no shadows to be seen, it was raining. Six more weeks or winter, who knows, it is cold here today, but just like always, it is suppose to be in the 60's tomorrow. I finished my therapy on the knee replacement on Wednesday and they said all is good. Of course he also said, "John, you didn't have a tooth pulled, this is major surgery, take it slow." So that is what I am trying to do spend a few hours in the morning doing what I can and then resting. I was trying to go at it pretty hard at first and it just wasn't working so I am going to try it their way now. My wife is joining me in the shop tomorrow to get started on a few projects we are close to finishing and with her, it will save me some steps and maybe we can get them finished. I need to get one more coat of red paint on the Lego table and then I can attach the Lego bases and it will be ready for pickup. It has been nice having the finishing room to put it in and work on it as I can. They wanted the legs to be able to be removed so I have the brackets ready to install on the bottom and the legs have lag screws in the top and can be put on or taken off. We will be putting hardware on the display case doors and taking them out to test fit before I install glass and find out that I might have made an error in sizing, something I know no one ever does. For some reason this has been haunting me while I have been laying around so I am ready to put this to rest. So what about you, what are you all working on this weekend? As always, we here at TPW love to see all of your projects and hear about your weekend agenda. So share with us you weekend plans. I'm sure Sunday evening will include some super bowl time for many. Have a wonderful weekend and I hope you get some shop time. If so, as always, be safe whatever you are doing.

Popular Post kmealy Posted February 3, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 A friend of mine has a big cloth that his kids store their Legos on. When they are done playing, there is a drawstring that pull it all together and makes a Bag o'Legos. That's in the wife's department, sewing.

Gene Howe Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 That's really red, John. As always, nice work. Glad you're getting around in the shop. Bet that new space has been calling your name the whole time you were laid up. I'm finishing this weekend. Get this last chest done and shipped and outta my hair by Wednesday, hopefully. Then, break out the mesquite and have some fun. HARO50 and Chips N Dust 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chips N Dust Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Things seem to be falling in place without a lot of trouble. As you know, I got married at the end of December and the wife and I still live in our own places, about 180 miles apart. I was going up to her place this weekend then she would be coming down next Sunday and staying for about 3 weeks while I had my surgery and will be laid up afterwards. She put her app in for a job with one of the local cities here on Tuesday and they called her yesterday for an interview - next Friday. So, she needs to get her place in order to be able to leave it for a few weeks (this weekend) and then come down to me next Thursday night and go to her interview on Friday. I am keeping my fingers, toes and anything else crossed for this position for her. So, I am staying here and I am heading to the SHOP! The weather is warming up so it will not be so freaking cold out there and I will, if all goes well, be able to finish a couple of 1/2 started projects. That is what is on my agenda...

Al B Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 (edited) Got out to the shop today . The cold weather had kept me away, but when I walked in, the place looked like a warehouse, full of empty boxes. Seems it was a convenient place to toss those boxes from Amazon, Walmart, and everywhere else. Spent some time cutting 'em up and putting them in the woodburning stove to warn up the shop a bit. Dampness, obviously from the cold has developed a bit of rust on the table saw and other tool surfaces in the shop. It looks like I'll have to get the shop warmed up enough to remove the rust and get another good coat of wax on these surfaces.

lew Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 30 minutes ago, Stick486 said: did have to do this 3x's... I recently bought a cross vice for my drill press. That's what started the clamp consolidation. The shop is so small that anything that comes in requires either something to leave or a redesign. Most of my C and F clamps were stored rod under the drill press. Needed that space for the cross vice. Finally found a little wall space by moving some old jigs to another spot and making some clamp racks. Still need one more and I'll have everything together- except for the spring clamps. Film at 11.

Gerald Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Finished up a turning tool portable rack for my turning club. Started on Christmas ornaments and blew out the first one , a nice spalted piece . John Glad you are doing better . Good thing you have a supervisor to keep you under control. Stick surely you have more clamps than I see in that picture. I know all of mine would not fit in that space. By the way it is a nice and functional storage.

HandyDan Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Inside out turned another vase. Posted pictures of it in the turning board here. Played around with photography some. Took some of the pictures in a small portable photo booth I came across and learned how to crop a picture. Was inspired to try harder at taking pictures by Geralds Blog. It is a learning process but doable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
