That's impressive. Has he rebuilt it at all? It looks flawless in the pics. Obviously you need to speak with her about the part of marriage where you are always each other's accomplice when stealing things that you want more than the museum currently displaying them ;) My wife and I have...

I thought so, too. I can't tell you how many of them I've looked at and they are always closer to $300. $300 isn't that expensive, but it's just harder to justify a $300 tool you might use a couple times (although I want to use it more but kids and life tend to make that easier said than done)...

I finally got out of the "it's too cold to do anything" mode and had a productive weekend in the shop. So here's a little update: New Toys I've been wanting to increase the amount of wood projects I get to do in the shop but I've been held back by not having a planer. They are always so...

Thanks! Will try and get a pic of the shop itself tonight. I've actually been cleaning it up pretty nice. Now that another house is in the back of our minds I've already been trying to plan out what I'd do differently so I can apply that to the new house.

Shop Time I was actually able to use the shop last night for the first time in a while: Got the first oil change done in the BMW. Thankfully it was incredibly simple. The ramps it's sitting on are 50-60 years old. An older guy my old man has known for probably almost 40 years now was...

Originally I had it set up to be a 10x12 but as I started drawing it in Sketchup I realized that with a 10x12 you end up having to do a lot of cutting and have scrap materials - whereas a 12x16 makes the 4x8 sheets of OSB and plywood fit up there without scraps. That's the logic I used for the...

I have since recruited my friends to help reduce their injuries :beer: We've gone so many years without any issues, I guess it was about time

The Shed Pretty much since we moved to our current home, I've wanted to add a shed to it. In fact, I was originally going to have an outdoor office in a shed that I had some pretty detailed drawings completed for in Sketchup before we even moved in. However, life always gets in the way and it...

It's amazing how quickly life can just happen and take you away from this. I'll try and start where I left off. Two Week Vacation Shortly after my last update we took the adventure van on its final voyage for us. We went from home to Loveland Colorado for a night, then on to Salt Lake City...

Thank you! The tables are amazing. I sit my fat **** on them regularly and they don't even budget. That was an awesome find - thanks for reading! I did this and it turns out the belt had just slipped off. Finally got off my **** and just checked it and that's all it ways. Yay!

That's actually what I'm looking at today. I saw they have a pretty good kit for about $150. I do some automotive work but it's not like I'm out there every day. I think that set is a good compromise - it's locally accessible, seems decently built, and has a good warranty. Glad to see someone...

Did the break in process on the compressor yesterday and I heard a hissing when it was done. I was hoping I was just hearing stuff so I let it sit for the night. I went out this morning and checked it and, unfortunately, there's a leak on the primary brass fitting going from the motor to the...

The Shop Just a quick update today. Over the weekend I got both the air compressor and the welder wired up. Had to remove a little drywall but wasn't too bad. I also added 2 outlets - one by my wooden bench I built and one up above the door. The one above the door is for network equipment (a...

hahah :lol_hitti I'm going to take that as a complement. My fat *** can stand on them and not even get the metal to flex so I'd say they are pretty solid.

That's what we're thinking. My big thing is deciding to go with an RV or a camper. I would prefer the RV because it would simplify the process, however, they seem to be difficult to find affordable and with a split bedroom configuration. I'd rather not have the kids just in a converted table...
