Great job keith !

Well, I made one like this from some wood in the scrap bin last year.   Saved myself $130 + tax and shipping

My old one was much cruder -- a piece of plywood and two pieces of 1x4 that just ran along the rip fence, but it was getting pretty chewed up.

Actually, I made two, one for the table saw and one for the router table.  Might have taken 30 minutes each, or less.

But I'll bet yours doesn't look nearly as sexy as the Woodpecker's version..... I mean, that counts for something doesn't it? :Laughing:

What's that mean Gunny, you got paid for 40 but worked 60?

No no no no...:D  I worked 40 and get paid for 60 hours at my flat rate.  And 60 is a  low week,  I sent @Grandpadave52 a Higher week last year I believe.

IIRC, you were turning some 90-100 hours a few months back. I see you've been slacking off lately:rolleyes: All that time answering my texts perhaps?:ChinScratch: That's what happens when you know retired old pharts who dont use watches any more.:Laughing:

:huh: Never could figure out why the U.A.W. gave us a watch for retirement. :WonderScratch:

:throbbinghead:

Mines still in the box, battery died years ago. ;)

Over 50 years ago, my watch came off, never to be replaced. Clocks in the house, a clock in the shop, clocks in the vehicles and, when I had a job, clocks all over the work place. Now that I'm retired, I don't give crap what time it is. :OldManSmiley:

I stopped wearing a watch when I retired. Still clocks are all over the plaace.

I've worn a watch all my life and now i feel naked without one. It's the different strokes thing, I guess.

Something in my body ate the brass bodies of a watch.  The edges would get sharp as a razor.  The backs were stainless and stayed good.  Quit wearing one in my 20s but did carry a pocket watch.  Phone is most always with me now and serves well as a watch.

Didn't have quite that problem, but I inherited my Moms ability to kill the batteries in battery powered watches.

2-3 days and a brand new battery dies. 

Phyl quit wearing a watch the day she retired in '07. Took it off, threw it in a drawer and hasn't touched it since.  Won't wear a bracelet neither. Wrist watches are sorta like shackles that symbolize our slave status. :(

 

Wish I had this clock...or a couple.
