Yes vintage 1972

Nobody else would work on it.

 

 

On the home front. Finishing up tap and die organizer. @steven newman expanded my set couple months ago.  This is Imperial set. Metric is not done yet.

Didn't really think it was a Lamborgini looking at the car but thought I could see the dragon on the front hub.

When I was at NAS Oceana, the Grumman Tech Rep for the A-6 Intruder had a 1964. Loved that car! Of course, it was red.

Working on a little natural edge, birds mouth bowl. Disappointed that some of the bark came off. 

 

...and a little computer upgrades/repairs.

I thought my next project was sitting on the table beside me... but I was mistaken.  Weather has been so nice that I have spent most of the time in the yard.

I did pull out the new door that we purchased for the front of the house.  Got a super deal on it back around Thanksgiving, and as a special order from Big Blue, was delivered around New Years.  Just been sitting in my way in the shop since then.  Removed the 1/2 glass from it yesterday - holy cow was that heavy - probably half the weight of the door.  Measured for hinge location, got my router jigs out to cut the mortises, and no jig for a 4" hinge.

I reckon I will be cutting out a 4" template today.  Weather is supposed to be nice today and tomorrow.  I hope I can get all the milling done and fitted before it turns off cold.

It was so nice outside yesterday I repaired a bunch of broken welds on steel yard furniture, plant stands, etc. for the neighbor. 

I think he was surprised at how many pieces I got repaired for him so he can put them out for sale. Still have a few pieces to do.

We had a guy in here this morning with a truck bed full of broken chairs. Was upset we wouldn't weld them for free, while he waits.

Retractable antennae?

Working on the coffee cup shelf. Got it together and hope to add finish today.

Gardening today. Getting all the beds ready for planting.
