    Shop time yesterday was a bust. Two Skype sessions and two other phone calls from my gabby sisters. Not to mention a nap. Back at it today, though....barring unforseen interruptions. Got at least a da

  • Not a good day for me -- started some repair work at the furniture bank.   Needed to deepen a couple of grooves on a drawer glide to replace a broken one.  On the second pass, it kicked back and pulle

    Week of meetings for me.  City Council, Property Standards Board, etc. I’m currently in the drawing stages of 6’ x 3’ kitchen island for a client.  She’s found all of these “lovely” ideas from Pintere

Is it a 1/2 -9/16.  If so, it might be mine.

I don't know, it looks like the cheap stamped wrench for my circular saw. I lost it awhile ago.

Keith, you should write that up and send to Sawstop for an ad.  You may get to be a celebrity.  Glad it was not a Shopsmith as it would have kept on chewing.  But, in all seriousness, I hope you heal completely and quickly.  Well wishes to you.

 

On tasty water, we used to us charcoal for filtering water.  It removed that chlorine taste and smell.  Billy Carter and I learned at the same time to drink water straight.  :Laughing:  Do continue drinking water.  It is much too easy for us with higher mileage to get dehydrated.  In the old Navy, we had salt pills in certain sections of the ships and buildings.  It would cause you to drink, but it is not good for our bodies.  It would also make you sweat.  

 

Please be careful out there everyone.  We don't need to loose anyone or the knowledge you have.  We need you here.

We use well water. Comes from a great aquifer 450' down. Plenty of water but, full of iron and hard as he!!. We use a water conditioner and, for drinking, a reverse osmosis system. Not sure if that does any good. Seems to taste the same. But, it's good tasting, either way. I'll usually drink around a gallon, or so, during the day. Wife prefers iced tea. Her consumption is about the same as mine.

LOML had a flat on the way home from work some years back. Found a Phillips screwdriver inside, minus the plastic handle!

Not sure I'll close up that gap, but I can flatten the sole a bit better.

As the toe is a bit higher than the rest of the sole....area right in front of the iron is also rounded over a bit....

Right about where my thumb is....

 

Maybe tomorrow, I can run a jack plane along the sole, and get things flat.   We'll see...

Steven, if I may be so bold, I would also check your temp.  This sounds familiar to Coronavirus.  I hope not, but with that symptom, I would be on high alert.
