My sympathies to Pat! I had a hack dentist once try to pull my wisdom teeth without enough anesthesia. Without realizing it, I'd grabbed his wrist and clamped down. This was back when I was turning wrenches for a living. He stopped at my shop the next morning to show me the bruises I'd left on...

I'm fighting a pinched nerve or something. Left shoulder/arm is giving me fits, but seems to help to keep moving, even slowly, so I got the ply and edge banding cut for the slicer stand. Did some cleanup as well. Hopefully I can get it assembled tomorrow. Family stuff next week. Shop time will...

Jim, someone mentioned using Dawn dishsoap if you think you've been in contact with poison ivy. I keep this stuff at the shop sink. It's a good hand cleaner as well as using it for my outdoor cooking tools. It'd probably get the itch oil off of you too!

Put away a bunch-o-chit, swept enough sawdust to build a tree, made a flag mount from scrap birch,then cracked a beer. Called it an early day.

Sanded and put some poly on the slicer stand project. Waiting for it to dry.

Knock on wood, it still doesn't affect me. At the worst, I'll get a couple blisters and they'll be gone within a day. Growing up, we lived at the edge of hundreds of acres of timber and pretty much were in the woods everyday of summer. I can remember some of my friends being covered head to toe...

I'm seeing a kind of 1 dimensional CJ body for the golf cart. Straight lines, no compound curves, flat fenders.... Easy-ish to make from flat stock for a guy with your talent.

Thanks Mike! I used to love working on cars until I did it for a living. Don't enjoy it near as much these days! I think I would enjoy a project vehicle, but not so much the daily drivers anymore. Let's see some of your projects!

Assembled the 3rd fixed panel for the meat slicer stand and decided on what to do for doors and pull out shelves for the other processing equipment. Had the doors open until the wind started blowing too much sawdust around. Swept up sawdust, then decided it was beer:thirty.

Here you go!

I finished the rehab on the Berkel slicer, gave it a trial run on a small ham. The thing is damn fast!

I started this display a few years ago, finally put it together yesterday. At one point, I think I had an approximate date on them, probably from this thread, but I'm too lazy to look back through 85 pages! I'm thinking they came from one of my grandfathers. Both were machinists, among other...

That's good to hear Mike!

I bounced between my meat slicer project, putting things back in place from having the overhead door replaced, primed where door hardware had been moved, located the parts to a shadow box frame I'd started for a set of long C Craftsman DOE's, located the DOE's, and did a trial spray of paint...

Happy Birthday to Miss Pat from the BuffettFan crew!

Got enough for a cookout yet? 😄

Supervised a lot, helped a little. Wife-modified door. Door gone Damn cold in here all of a sudden. Coldest reading I've ever seen in here! And the new one! So much nicer! The installer was awesome to boot.

Hope you don't have to wait as long as I have. I ordered my door in August, hopefully I'll get it tomorrow. But, mine is a 6'6" tall, not the standard 7'.

Glad you guys are doing ok-ish Mike!

Moved everything to the back of the garage so the new overhead door could be installed. It was ordered in August. Then snowmaggeden happened. Door is reschedule for Monday. Now everything is shoved together and it's freaking cold. Think I'll make a gallon or two of bourbon BBQ sauce instead.
