Slow is fine, as long as it’s in the right direction…….stay well !
Like all great plans, they are up to change. I am forgoing the two slab tops and today opted to joint, plane and rip ten 2×4 for lamination to make a 3”top….
I am flying by the seat of my pants but just got notified Chris gets another 3-5 weeks off because my stupid gallbladder opted to stop working and I have to have surgery on that thing! More shop time right? So thank God, that’s all it is!!! Anyways, this work tonight will result in a monolithic top, possibly split, possibly with a tool well.
You will put those planes to good use flatting that top. Take care of yourself and don’t over do it.
Well, weight restriction still in place but I got the wood glued up for one of two benches I am building. This is a modified Paul Sellers work bench, construction grade pine.
Would you believe I nearly finished enough lumber for two tops???? Plus the bench I was in the middle of building….👍
sweet dixie lookin good bro…
Why thank you Comp!
Making some shavings with my Millers Falls, right now cleaning up glue lines and prepping to flatten the bench top.
Some more work done today….
Looking good bro !!!
I need some winding sticks.

Just some jointed flat 2×4 trim bro. Works slick as snot and they can go in the bon fire once they start to warp 👍
Not necu related but finally got some time to,work outside. I made a simple lap jointed from for the bottom of this little arbor mY Wife and I got married under at my in laws home. They gave us the arbor and we wanted to move it to the front walkway. Finished pictures to come of the walkway and our house but here is the new Milwaukee mitersaw I got for a steal at CPO for 319.
Yup. Like the mitersaw a lot. A beauty and the trench cutting went well though truthfully doing repetitive work reminds me I’m still not as strong as I was. I’m getting there but my arms were aching after making the lap cuts.
Nice workbench !
Yeah I figured I’d let some guy in Texas make it for me 👍
oh boy forget the saw and look at that drill. It is a beaut

This is the first time I’ve used the PDC. It did good, nothing strenuous so I cannot weigh in on an educated opinion but its comfortable to use and a lot lighter than it looks.

On paper rpm looks next level but power is on the lower end. It might be the case where it will do 90% of what the average guy needs it to?

I wish I could comment on it but…I can say I’ve seen so,e compelling video on its performance. Personally, I’ve got the Dewalt hammer that is pure unadulterated power. This guy seems to be pretty strong but more refined in use, its got a billion power modes for fine drilling.
Well for one reason or another shop time and projects have been on the back burner. Today I got to do some yard work and put together my AWESOME Daddy’s present, a two person hammock. Then played some BF4 to losen up and then decided to go down to the cavern of destruction and add nearly four more feet to my wood shop. Thank God for the foresight to make my walls semi permanent. Hit the wall with my framer, knocked it lose. Slid it back four feet and flamma bamma schmama and I’ve got nearly four more feet of useable space. Used my Dewalt 692, yes…it is awesome. Nice new lathe nook and a I put up a quick and easy shelf for large tools chucks etc…
A little bit frustrating today. I bought a DWX726 rolling miter saw/planer stand. That’s right….planer stand. Well wouldn’t you go and figure my darn DW734 is too wide for the stand?!?!?! Anyways, I am building a small wooden base to attach to the DWX726 and then bolt the DW734 to the wood base so I can use the extensions….on another note, the stand is pretty sweet. Went together really nice.
@ChrisK I did that for my first hitachi saw on my ryobi miter stand. Simple solution. My stand didnt have wheels so it did make it heavier. Obviously that wont be an issue for you.
Well work as usual has been slow going but in an effort to get rid of some scrap ply and pine I made a plan less shop cabinet that continued to morph as it went. This is old CDX ply, warped all to heck. No trick joinery…glue, screws and nails. It morphed as I went along but it came out okay for being a cheap shop cabinet with no ideas. Also FINALLY got my compressor reel up…
Next quickly cabinet coming up….
the carcass will utilize the LR32 system and probably the Kreg system. No fancy joinery again. I’m using the left over piece of warped CDX. No idea what the door will be but the picture is showing where it’s going. I have the CDX cut down to size, I think….again….no plans, we will see where this goes. On another note, on my multi use cabinet I believe the opening on the right will be for router bits…maybe.
Well after some “fine tuning” I have the first of two benches ready…the base support shelf remains undone but…
Mortised a stop block for an antique Stanley I have…
lookin good bro, best part of it your back makin sawdust…

Haven’t been getting much done because of a lack of room and no outfeed table. Last night I made two new shop tables from plywood. One is a mobile outfeed table, the other though as of this writing is not quite done (I have to add the lower shelf) is a rolling sanding and storage station.
And this complete abomination is my shop as of last night….
With those two table done I will now have room on my floor to actually work. I should have a new picture to post with a clean shop after I run some errands with my Family and get some more shop time thanks to my beautiful Wife taking care of business with our beautiful Son and our Daughter that’s on the way on board…😇
I know the shop shop is a mess but it was really cool cutting down 3/4 ply with an outfeed table…I missed that. Small space but it is a okay, I love this shop.
It is there a shop underneath all the stuff? Jokes aside, The tables are awesome.
Looks like my garage [emoji16].
Btw….is the new baby going to be a bit or girl?
