Sorted a few more this morning with my coffee. I added a 100 to the box for a total of 200...another 100 layed out ready to be added with 5 extra. So far 305 counted. The pile is todays harvest.

I picked up another handful the other day after the first 13..both upper right to the pile. The pile was collected this evening. A bunch of burrs are splitting...still some not quite there but they're gettin after it now. A lot of my burrs have 3 fully developed nuts in'em. This would be paydirt for Indians and frontiersmen.

No official work but did a little plinking in the back yard after mowing. She's a German made Diana 46 in .177. Set up on my new bench for a little wipe down after her exercise. Stock is beech.

My (2) 5 year old trees are loaded down. With a little luck will we be bearing chestnuts in a few months.

You've all seen my indoor benches, my outdoor is wood saw horses ( light weight folders are on my get list) with plywood for a table and the tailgate of my Tacoma. As you said portability is key, I usually follow the shade

Lew,..my wife's great grandmother was a lady named Mona (Tuttle) Strange. She painted for her happy as we do all of our things. Not sure when she started but she died in about '94 and was in her mid 80's. We have 3 here at the house and one date is clearly visible when I magnify with my phone as 1967. First 2 are hanging in my shop..the 3rd winter scene is the dated 1967 in another room. She was from Estill Co. Kentucky. I posted a pic a while back of her husband next to the antique car. I watch over these things for the kid.

Gentlemen if I ain't been working I've been mowing grass. I was able to score my lite week this week (which is 5 days off)...with no intrusions So...with that said I got the yard caught up and had 1 whole complete day in the shop No progress on projects but was able to get the bench posted previously pretty much where I want her...my project wood stacked on the plywood shelf I added... a couple of lights overhead....some more things moved a little to accommodate....and a good general clean up. I'm happy with progress so far..

@steven newman Are you finding ASH to be any more in surplus or cheap due to the EAB rolling through the last several years? I figure someday it will be like Chestnut lumber,..only occasionally found here and there and repurposed.

Maple would be my guess.

I picked this up today, it was out of my step-dads stuff that his son didn't want. My pattern makers vises I recently got weren't gonna fit on my bench due to the bracing,..so I was in the market for buying or building something. This thing hit me just right She's 25 wide by 72 long, a nice overhang on one side and rock solid Not sure how much but I'm guessing weight at somewhere over 200lbs. I will get some plywood on the bottom bracing and it will hold almost all of my project wood that is taking up space on the floor. Once I do that I'll get it put up against the wall and may secure it to it...although it really doesn't need it. Came with the Sears vise, I've already reattached. It's a right smart better than the makeshift table I had behind my chair with the sawhorses. I've ended up with some odd and end tools lately related to a couple of folks passing away,...ain't gonna lie, it feels a little weird bringing another fellas tools into my shop . Not that he would care but I do think about it. When I get it settled I'll throw his name on the bracing in a sharpy or something...he was into old cars...1950 trucks type stuff.

Parts are laser cut. I remove them from the sheet with an X-acto knife. Yep it's a stop and go process, but I'm famous for having multiple projects goin.....so I just work on something else when I've got fresh glue sittin.

I went with some strips of basswood, filled in spaces in between and then sanded smooth for repair on the plank. Stern knee bevel filed,..then finished with sandpaper..and we're glued to the frame. Thats it for today....may look into the oars later tonight.
