October 18, 20214 yr Popular Post comment_273028 About ready to cut and install melamine white boards for the laser and SCMS bench. After those get done, it'll be time to finally reassemble my Jointech system....providing I can remember how it goes together. Shoulda took some pictures before I took it apart. Report

One of the things I love about melamine coverings for shop furniture like this, specially for the table saw side table, is you can jot down numbers with a pencil on the surface, it cleans up great with windex. Often I'd take a measurement, then go straight to the saw, and just jot down the measurement on the melamine before I forgot it, it's serves second duty as a whiteboard. Report
October 18, 20214 yr Popular Post comment_273031 Off to the hospital, Marie is having some kind of test for her impending stomach/esophagus surgery. Any time available this afternoon might be spent in the shop. I have a bowl in the lathe I haven't touched for 6 days or more, I may get back to practice on it. Report

Do Sharpies wipe off with Windex? All our dry erase markers have dried up. Report

October 19, 20214 yr Popular Post comment_273062 Spent the morning doing final cleanup of shop of a deceased club member. After getting back to the shop with more stuff than I need I finished the platter I left on lathe yesterday. Pictures in turning. Report
October 19, 20214 yr Popular Post comment_273066 Monday? Glad I missed it! Actually was a nice sunny day that got things dried up enough to get half of the mowing done. Today's supposed to be more of the same, so will attempt to get the other half done. Report
October 19, 20214 yr Popular Post comment_273067 Spent yesterday mowing the lawn and other yard chores. Likely spend a good bit of this week on making a new panel sled for my table saw. I have an old one patterned after Norm's NYW. I have been watching a William Ng you tube video and I really like his, I think it will be a major upgrade. Report
October 19, 20214 yr Popular Post comment_273079 I understood a couple of posts and now we are on to "lawns" and "mowing". Next someone will say that water falls from the sky or some such voodoo. If I can get some free time I am going to drill a whole bunch of holes in the workbench tops. Report
