Popular Post FlGatorwood Posted January 8, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 The only woodworking project is to get this one post out of the pine rocking chair back so I can clean up, bore new holes for dowels for the headrest. Will get that all back together and put all woodworking projects on hold until I get all the mortar joints repaired. So, will be digging out more mortar to patch. All in preparation for painting this spring. Ugh! And, it's going to be in the upper 40's for the next week. Somebody, please take back this north wind.

Popular Post Gunny Posted January 9, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 Did you brand before or after applying finish? I do my branding before then lightly sand it down some. Gives a nice crisp looking brand. p_toad, Larry Buskirk, HARO50 and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DuckSoup Posted January 9, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 I've been in a funk since the first of the year, gray and overcast days has let cabin fever set in. The most enthusiastic part of the week came yesterday when I went and had blood work done. Time to break this fever!

Popular Post Cal Posted January 9, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 My plans have changed up somewhat. I had been watching some tables at a school auction. My impression was science tables, 30" x 60", with black tops. Inspection was Thursday so I went up to take a look - there were two types, either a plastic composite or particle board with laminate top. Darn - I was hoping for white oak which would have been some great panels for some future projects. Oh well, I am glad I didn't bid on the picture only - which I do sometimes. That would have been a heck of a reckoning had I done that! So for Saturday, instead of trucking up to Madison for the auction - I will be staying close to home and staying out of the cold & wind. Not all bad, I can use this time to "re-design" the first project I was planning for the table top panels. @John Morris - consider a few of those outlets that have USB's included. It is super handy having them where you might typically plug in a phone/laptop charger. I used a couple in our kitchen island - super handy as that is where I have the phone charge overnight. I also installed them either side of the bed in the MBR. But I haven't used those because I really don't want the phone waking me up overnight everytime a message or some such comes through.

We need a thumbs up emoji John! I may swap out the ones in our MBR for the plain outlets in the kid's rooms. Since they are now basically guest rooms, they would be more useful in those bedrooms than our own. But that's just me. p_toad, JimM, HARO50 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewB Posted January 9, 2021 Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 I wish I would have thought of that for the shed oh well no matter. At least I got my lathe bolts this morning canceled the order on amazon and got them for 3 bucks next door. So a far better deal. In the short run of things my sharpening jig should be here at some point this morning so it will be set up of that as well should be interesting to do. I'm just hoping that the bench grinder itself will sit up high enough that I wont need to raise the grinder up itself an inch. p_toad, FlGatorwood and Cal 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
