Just finished putting a galvanized metal roof on the garden tool shed. Critters living in the roof area under the house overhang had torn up the old composite roof material and created a leak. Also added a wire shield to stop the critters.

Not in the garage, but in the the laundry room just inside the house, Washing machine intake started leaking, water everywhere and dollar signs for a repair service floating around the house. Here in beautiful California you have to pay the call out service fee, usually $125-150, out front and...

Moved in the 1/2 in plywood to build replacement doors for the Rotary Clubs little neighborhood library cabinets. Someone stole the original doors. Keeping them in good shape and filled with books is a regular weekly project.

I have 4 young adult grand kids. They have differently changed our lives. I have breakfast at 6am every Thursday morning with my 22 year old grandson before he goes to work. Sharing their lives is a blessing.

Love the Kennedy Box. I have the same box I got as surplus sale from the closure of a local AFB. My only regret is they didn't have a couple more at the sale.

Not sure. My place is surrounded by concrete walkways so most of the projects just require that I get reasonably close so I'm not walking back and forth to the shop. Time will tell.

Picked up a white single drawer cart to use as a landscape tool box for the irrigation supplies. My bride decided it would be less cumbersome if we used a cart rather than trying to convert a shopping cart basket. Now I just need to figure our how to integrate it into my own tools. Not betting...

Made seven more 11 inch skateboards for the kids camp decorations. Miniatures are really fun to do, but time consuming.

Nearing completion on the restoration my 14" Delta Band saw. I was able to install the new 1HP motor, new wring and electrical safety switch. It used to have a toggle wall switch and plate. Need a new drive belt and It's ready to go.

Drilled 40 - 1/2" holes in 10 - 3/16 ' metal base plates (4 per plate) for mounting little neighborhood library houses. These are a local Rotary Club project and we have about 25 spread out around the community. 2.5 inch metal pipe will be used for the post and they will be welded this next...

Great news on all fronts. As I've grown older I find that all those things I thought were important when I was younger really did not bring me the joy that I find in spending time with my bride of 53 years, my kids and grand kids, friends and volunteer work in my community. And all my projects...

If it works to do the job, it isn't a hack, it's ingenuity!!

Growing up was always necessary, unless you rushed the alternative. Growing up however has always been a choice. I think when you see all the crazy stuff we talk about, and do, here on GJ, we're still kids at heart!

Oh, I am very happy with the overall stash of good tools they included. My daughter is a jewelry hobbyist and she has already set dibs on the jewelers bench and tools. The lathe come with a full set of micro chucks, and cutting tools.

Setting up a temporary base to evaluate a jewelers lathe that came with a jewelers bench I bought at an estate sale. It also included a large selection of watch makers parts.

Don, add me to the list. I'll try to bring my son and grandson, they think I'm kidding about the grandness of the BPG. It is also my son's birthday.

I have to agree with using MDF or plywood however melamine is a good shelving if I do not want a specific paint color for my finish. I have been using my biscuit cutter and beechwood biscuits and glue for several years and find they make strong well aligned joints for my cabinet projects.

Cleaned and polished the headlight lenses on the f250. The snow sand mix going up and down the hills this winter really did a job on the lights. Looked like they were sandblasted rather than road ware.
