Half the people that live in my subdivision own two screwdrivers but only know how to use one of them. Any time they come into my shop it's like the scene with the monkey touching the monolith in the Stanley Kubrick movie 2001. 🤣
More worried about someone driving in the gate and seeing it as a target of opportunity.

When you have a Butler, you don't need to concern yourself with screwdrivers......

Our community landscaper came through big time on the bench installation. He put in an oversized paver pad, a walkway, a flagstone bridge over the drainage and landscape lights. IMG_20260717_124923 (2)~2.jpgIMG_20260717_184403.jpgWay more than I expected, but a fitting tribute to a good friend and neighbor. We got it done just in time for the one year anniversary of his passing.

Very unsual rainy day for pictures in the Sonoran Desert, Apache Junction had major flooding in the desert washes, with low-lying roads under water.

More to come.

Well done!

The zeroscape/xeriscape whatever is called looks very nice.

Somehow ended up with a day that wasn't already booked up, so I knocked out a quick welding project. Pulled 30' of 1-1/4" square tube out of the steel rack and built a base for the big walnut slab sofa table I am building for a neighbor.
Her slab is the one on the right side, imeaures approximately. 16" x 75" x 2" thick. The live edge slab is going to be my office desk if I ever get a chance to work on my own stuff...🙄

Here is the photo she sent me for reference: Screenshot_20260513_142717_Amazon Shopping.jpg

And, here's the welded base ready for final sanding. I used 60 grit with the random orbit sander to remove the grinding marks left from the flap disc I used to flush grind all the welds

Welded 3/16" x 1" mounting tabs for the slab on the top, 3/8 threaded inserts on the bottom for leveling feet, and got it dropped it off at the powdercoater for sandblasting and satin black this afternoon.

More to come.
