Bringing this back from the dead. In process of stripping the entire floor out to redo with Armstrong vct, as the roper stuff did not work well. Especially after having a massive gas spill. Ive done other stuff to the shop, but more in the shop. Led lighting, drill press stand, etc will be in...

And were back to the table saws. First one I did is still going strong. Great tool. May not be the latest and greatest saw, but has done everything I’ve asked of it so far. Im now on to the first saw. Confusing, right? This is the one that initiated this thread. It was a friend of mines...

AMEN. I am truly blessed to have her. I could ask for nothing greater. She's the reason I get up and go to a job I hate, look forward to coming home, and try to take care of myself.

somewhere in here, I started installing hardware. you all remember the drawer pulls I got from habitat. also hanging out in my shop was some nifty vintage hardware. scored this stuff from a warehouse clean out sale with a bunch of other ****. there was a box with a mortising attachment and a...

weekly update time: didn't spend no money, so budget remains the same. first up, I started by finishing the majority of the workbench top. pretty much, just around the sink. still have to create the final edge, and install the sacrificial layer. then I got to the fun stuff. first up was...

so I bought a new to me compressor. the seller told me about an issue that I wrote off as not that big of a deal. well, apparently it is. on the pully side of the case is this fitting: it appears that it should be a press fit, but it is loose. it has a red cap over it that does not look...
