Went digging after a router today…
Production routers on left, solid surface custom routers on right.
Basic units and bases left, trimmer setups on right.
Plunge routers.
Factory & custom base plates. Only use most of the factory plates saw was as templates for the custom ones made out of quarter inch thick Corian.
I am a firm believer in setting up a router for a specific task, and only changing out the bit when it gets dull. I keep a couple of routers for the rest of the bits used on an intermittent basis…
Hrmm, think there is another router somewhere else in this mess… or maybe it’s just a base… There is another small drawer dedicated to misc. router parts, wrenches, etc.. Meh. I need to pull it all out of the drawers and sort some things out, but that will have to wait until I get a shop set back up again.
That’s a lot of Router action!
Whaaaaaa!!!??? That’s incredible…..while us peasants have to change the router bit on our one or two routers, you change out the whole router LOL!!!!!
If you count the number of 690 bases in those drawers, you’ll get an idea of how many of those I killed over the years. i.e. Killed meaning no longer worth rebuilding.
On vacation this week and I’m getting ready to paint my daughters room. The original plaster ceiling has a skip/knock down texture on it. We decided to skim coat with compound to make it flat and uniform. Just finished the first coat.

It was just the chunks in the sh*t stew. What do they even expect you to be able to hang it on with those “hooks”.
Seriously hate corn.
This is up and running after two months of building it off and on. Needs some tweaks to the design. It’s cranking out the corn though.
Redneck engineering 101:
Step 1: repurpose
Step 2: misuse
Step 3: zip ties.
I needed a beacon to flag a combine down to Oregon so I ripped the bracket and light off a rolled truck cab and stuck it to the welder with some welding magnets. I threw a zip tie on there as a redundant safety tethering mechanism should the magnets fail. Ran some 10 gauge wire left from the corn grinder through the passenger door into the cigarette lighter. Those welding magnets held up for almost seven hours of 22mph, and three hours of 60-90mph along with high speed crosswinds coming up off the Columbia.
Zip ties are the new duct tape
Started making a stainless steel ink pen today on my taig lathe this afternoon. Tough stuff to drill and turn down.
Gentlemen, if you ever notice moisture around the toilet, improve your aim or get the toilet checked out right away!!
Be warned, this is not for everyone to watch, there are WORMS involved…..

Wow surprised the toilet didn’t fall thru lol that was pretty gross?

I’d like to see how it turns out, stainless is tough to work with, it was a pain in the ass when we rebuilt our water truck at the FD, put a new tank in and HD to dismantle and refit the stainless shell, had 30 some odd holes to drill through, want to say 1/4″? Been a while but it was a bitch

quick tip while working with any kind of stainless steel, if you have to grind anything use the same grinding wheel, never use it on mild or cold rolled steel then back to stainless. it will contaminate the stainless where ever you ground it….and it will rust in that area faster than a cat can pass a motor scooter….

Yeah, only other time i’ve seen it almost this bad was when a customer had both his toilets overflow from a major blockage and it rotted the floor a little bit…
This video looks so much worse on my computer! It’s larger than in real life because of the screen size ewww

Posted a picture of my stainless pen below. Your exactly right, stainless is tough. Smoked my carbide parting tool right off the bat. You have to take is slow when turning and cutting the tapers required a lot of patience. Getting the tool marks out took a good sharp bastard file and a lot of jewelers rouge and a lot of buffing. About an 7 or 8 hour job for a writing stick.

Found this while running new circuits for an office. That is the support for the bedroom ceiling fan. It always seems like more effort to do it wrong.

Let me guess, no junction box. Seen similar stuff too many times myself. I rewired a convalescent home several years ago and was amazed it hadn’t caught fire because of the crap electrical work. Wire twisted together hanging on nails in the attic.
Jigsawed a reindeer for the yard…
Awesome

Yeah we find a lot of crap work like that too. Has to be fixed or we can’t continue.
The grey box is actually the fans junction box, however the person who installed the fan realized that it would not hold the fan and went through all that effort of running wire through the box and wrapping around the 2×4, instead of replacing the box with either a safety hanger box, or blocking the ceiling and putting in a fan rated box. Most likely the previous homeowners doing. Also the conductors are exposed as they’re entering the box.

Yeah, someone probably got a “do it yourself book” for Christmas one year. Read the book and thought now I’m an electrician. Always worried me when I found stuff like that. I had to go thru the whole system to make sure everything was right before I could move on. Some cats are hard to clean after.

Looks like your reindeer had diarrhea…
Just sayin…
Wasn’t his fault, I was feeding him White Castle sliders so he’d stay put while I painted him…

Really, if you think about it…it’s your fault. If you hadn’t been so nosy there wouldn’t be any problem at all. I mean, if you can’t see a problem, it doesn’t exist…right??

Ignorance is bliss.
Just a couple of shop projects. First is a mobile stand for my planer that I built to fit 3 of the Milwaukee 10 bin organizers plus another shelf on the bottom. Second is a nail gun cubby for all my nail guns and staplers. Now I can have the nail guns off the floor and I can get rid of the cases.
nice.. well organized looking …
Looks great Dave, like your sign too!

Good job on both projects. Love the mobile tool cabinets.
Made a couple more pens today. One for my bosses boss who gave me some cedar he cut from his property. The other is bocata wood my wife picked out yesterday from the local woodcraft store. This was the first cedar I’ve done, don’t care a lot for the color but I told the guy I would make him one for giving me several pieces of wood.
Finally had some time to put this up today ? I gotta say I like it but the clamps we’re kinda of a pain in the ass to get tightened other than that really cool for my tough boxes I’m also thinking about maybe selling one or two of my boxes to get the tough boxes with the drawers for easier access

Looks great! If your selling any of the smaller boxes let me know, I may be interested!
