Andy and Craig, now I understand. I was looking at it through my crossed eyes and thinking how the snot would likely hit what I was looking at with the wrong eye. Wouldn't be the first time. Now I'm thinking about building a snot cannon. Where can I get a seagull (or monkey) with irritable bowel syndrome?Yes,that was what I meant. In Florida, the occupants of the car would just assume it came from a seagull that, well ate something that didn't agree with them.
BobbyCoke, thanks for lurking! There seem to be a lot of former Long Islanders and that's probably good. When we moved from Flushing to North Babylon in 1952 there were woods, ponds and farms galore. Seems to be pavement and people now. I googled Glen Lake, Vermont, where my grandparents lived in the early '50s and the only changes are the dirt road to it is paved and the farm down the road is a park. Oh yeah, and you can only use an electric motor on the lake (time to build a Tesla Drag Boat).
Steve, we sometimes have to switch from A/C to heat and back to A/C in a single day but never in August.George II said, in about 1730, the Great British summer consists of " Three fine days followed by a thunder storm". We've had three fine days and now its wet and cold, the OH just turned the central heating on because it's a bit chilly.
In the middle of August
Great work with keeping the AC working, I think you need it.
Don't worry about cleaning the caddy next time, I'll take it dirty. Thanks in advance.

I was in UK last week and witnessed this with my own eyes.George II said, in about 1730, the Great British summer consists of " Three fine days followed by a thunder storm". We've had three fine days and now its wet and cold, the OH just turned the central heating on because it's a bit chilly.

Andrew, we were in Edinburgh at the end of April. Spent a few hours in the zoo and it was warm and sunny to start, brief shower an hour later and a wind shift brought snow (or maybe it was only sleet. Everyone had a brolly and light jacket -- Liane was wearing a Navy peacoat.
Steve, there's a good chance I'll be repairing it before, while or after your visit. Not an everyday occurrence but three times this year (so far).That's a deal, just pull the post box before I land.
Steve
Steve, I rarely hear anyone say they had a horrible time in the British Isles. Even our ugliest American friends enjoyed the food at McDonald's and Pizza Hut. Never understood traveling like that -- Beef Wellington at a quaint thatched-roof pub right on the roadway did it for me.It was true then, it's still true today.
I hope you enjoyed your time here.
Steve
Stewart, the parts are ordered!Snot cannon, snot cannon! Don’t to forget to post the final setup.
Oops. Forgot this project I finished this morning. Question about the degreaser bottle. What are you using as a degreaser?

BobbyCoke, It's funny, when I told my wife I was putting an iPod in the PT Cruiser she gave me that look. I turned it on and she has yet to turn it off. She asked me the other day if the radio in the car still worked.
Kirk, thanks for the very kind words. I'm feeling bad that there won't be much, if any, snot in the drain line. What am I saying, I have a perpetual post nasal drip so ammo won't be a problem.
BobbyCoke, In 1958 I spent the summer in Rutland. I was able to pick up an crystal clear AM Rock&Roll station broadcasting from Buffalo, NY late at night (absolutely nothing in the daytime). It came in clear as a bell on my grandfather's 1953 Chrysler Crown Imperial's tube radio.
Arbs1976, thank you for the kind words. I am surprised at how useful they are. It's going to force me to make some drawers.
Steve, it's all the GJs fault. I was happy to have three just a few months ago and now six seems barely adequate.Bob heck you have a lot of routers..
You router cabinet has come up a treat..
Rian, always happy to see your post on my thread. I visit your thread every time a new post brings it up on my Control Panel Subscribed List.
Andrew, the Garage Journal has turned me into a spendthrift.
Stewart, it really means I get them done at normal speed (twice-as-fast x halfast = normal speed)!I was thinking the same thing. You know Bob, twice the tools means he gets finished twice as fast.

Hi Jim, I saw that cherry recovery and was the reason I decided to fix my mistake. I mean, it's just big box store pine but I'm the only one who will see it.
Andy, thanks for that! I love tools and wish I had been able to acquire a drill press, metal lathe and mill in my youth.Good woodworking is not in avoiding mistakes but in recovering from them. You're doing great!!
Nice to use a selection of tools, too. Nice to have a selection to use, too.
I would have figured the exit ramp did not reduce functionality and would just have glued the split.
Thank you Steve. In my humble opinion you are Recovery Royalty. You and Lyndon have set a very high bar. I'm referring to health as well as equipment.Bob , that's a great recovery..
Rian, I am trying to change my ways and not just lean stuff against the wall or throw it in a file cabinet.
Guster, that set of silly little planes has already earned its keep. I didn't know how expensive the real ones were. I was really impressed with the Japanese pull saw. The blade is real thin and the long teeth are extremely sharp. I still grab the trusty old hand saws but by the second or third stroke I stop and get the pull saw out.Wow… I now have rock hard router envy! The space under the router table cabinet makes perfect sense.
I’ve always wanted a set of those silly little planes too. Not so sill when they do the job. The cheapest set I’ve seen locally is almost $200 for the set of 3. Instead I have a $10 little block plane that has proven handier than I would have thought. Still hanging out for a set of silly little planes though I haven’t had reason to try one of those Japanese style draw saws. Looks like it left a nice clean cut.
Great job on repairing the router whoops. Used two pieces of scrap to make a good one!
Andy, I had no idea how expensive the real ones were so I was a little reluctant to splurge $13 plus tax. They did take a little cleanup on the irons but that size only takes a few seconds on a diamond plate and leather strop.
Andy, I used my Chicago Electric Welding MIG 170 Wire Feed Welder (Harbor Freight) with 75/25 Ar/CO2 shielding gas and 0.30 wire.
Thanks Jim, I did have fun making them.
Bobby, it's all possible because of all the help, encouragement and support I get from my friends on Garage Journal. I chose that color for the Mapp holder because I've had two spray cans of yellow paint from a long ago "I've changed my mind and I don't want it yellow." project. I saw that router plane on your thread and it's a beauty. It looks like it's as one-handed friendly as my power routers but my mistakes would evolve much more slowly so maybe I should consider a router plane.It is abilities like these that separate the Master from the craftsman. Like the color on the Mapp holder too! I will post a picture on my thread of my new/old router plane. Thanks for the demonstration of WHY I don't like power routers. Great job Master Bob! Sorry can't help myself with rhyming things; drives Ginny nuts!
