We celebrate our second anniversary in this house on April 8. Yesterday, I got my table saw re assembled, hooked up and actually cut a piece of wood for the first time since we moved. My smile must have lit up the whole township. I still have a long way to go (although, the planer, jointer, RAS, and drill press are also functional) but I'm really seeing the light at the end of the tunnel now.

Congrats, Fred. Won't be long and you'll be knee deep in sawdust.

I'll bet that did feel good! Hopefully the completion will be swift and you'll be in business in no time!

Good for you Fred.  Glad to hear the beginning is in sight.  When I bought this house and built the metal shop out back I had someone put the building up and pour the floor.  Still took me quite a while to paint it and cover the trim in aluminum.  Run the wiring and put lights up.  Move everything in and get it up and running.  Amazing how much work there really is to a new building. 

Cool beans Fred. Sounds like we'll have access to a full functioning shop during the Patriot Woodworker Summer Fest. Can't wait to drool over your new digs and all of it's amenities.

There will be more things green than the grass & corn.

now wipe that drool off of your saw...
