Thanks John.  So much going on, hopefully it’ll be better.

second coat of red on the next pair of doors.  likely swap them out tuesday next week.

 

a little stucco patching later when the area is in the shade.

stucco patching done, 4 areas today, more another day.

 

that's just like work, but it pays less....

Well step 1 of my day started with the acquisition of 200 BF of Beech which should be enough for a decent bench.
On a related note, 200 BF of Beech will kind of fit in a Toyota FJC.

 

Part way through the day and the patio chair is ready for glue and dowels…  What no dowels?  

 

Well then…  A short time later a holder has been made for the dowel plate.
Roughly hewn from a 3x4” ash glueup with a drill press, a bench chisel and a non-trivial amount of profanity it is complete!! (or at least functional)

 

All shop scraps bow in fear of my new ability to put a square peg in a round hole!!!

"a non-trivial amount of profanity"

 

is that more or less than a copious amount?

Probably a plethora

 

Enough to get the job done but not quite enough to peel the paint from the walls

The weekend just came to a screeching halt. The guy I used to work for just sent out a call for help. He needs to finish up 43 tables that are going to be picked up on Tuesday and big surprise, they are not done.

Have been known to do that....now and then...sometimes enough to make Old Gunnery Sargents  BLUSH

 

 

Further adventures in the Rust Hunt....

$5 for this Rocker? 

$0.75 for these 3 items..

A Disston D-8, still with the teeth Disston made...owner NEVER had it sharpened, ever...just bought a new saw, when this one was dull.

Bits are both #7 size...just different makers..

 

Boss loves the "new" rocker...is now on the lookout for the "proper" seat cushion...
