I shot some video today. Did a shop tour to come out this weekend.

Cherry! Beautiful to work with. Gets better with age too. This ought to be a nice build. Keep us updated.

That could be possible. Sometimes my sense of time gets messed up. Either that or my memory…lol. I just know it had been a while and when it didn’t go up the first time I didn’t have…[Read more]

Wow. The post of mine above I posted 2 days ago….lol.

Just wanted to add that there has been a recall on 90,000(?) or so F 150 pickups recently. Like I said, one brand is as good (or as bad) as the next one.

They look great. Overcoming “issues” is the mark of good workmanship and caring about the job.

I’ll definitely be trying the Ford out , the 8 and the Eco boost. I have a few friends with them , the crew cab is huge , that’s what I like about the full size trucks

I have been looking at trucks too. Used ones. They want a fortune for anything half way decen…[Read more]

Got a couple of hours in the shop today. Getting face frame wood squared up and a couple of tenons cut. Got chilly so I called it a day.

Thanks.

More waiting. They put the wrong one on the truck…lol. The right one is at the store still. It will be another week as they only come out this way on Thursdays.

Waiting game today. The new sofa is supposed to be delivered today. It was a good time to take advantage and clean the floor. Got an echo in the room now. Wainscott and new paint look good though.

Sofa, so good.

It was -17 C this morning. About 1 F. That’s a little chilly. The snow was sparkling when the light hit it. Pretty, but not shorts and T shirt weather.

It’s a bellows. Yup, to pump air into the fire. He has a video on how he built it. I really like his channel.

It’s the circle of life.

I got my walnut milled up. Still over width and length, but it’s the right thickness now. A bit of reaction when I cut it, so letting it rest a bit before I bring it to final width.

Another day behind the snow blower. Having a coffee, then may go out to the shop and cutting up some walnut. Hopefully to the right size this time.

Walloped with snow today. As I was blowing it at about 6 pm it was turning to rain.

One goal.

Get the electric feed to the shop.

Thankfully a little cooler today. It made the snow light and fluffy and an easy job for the snow blower. More on the way this weekend but today the sun is out full force and it’s lovely.

I guess you have to be careful on where you drop your drawers.

That is quite the learning experience. Thanks for sharing that bit of information. I would have never thought of flood risk. We don’t have much of that here, but they do in other places…obviously. I feel bad that you lost some of your investment in tools and batteries.

Snow squalls, we’re getting hammered.

Tried to do some work on the potato bin. I ripped the face frame boards too narrow though. Went and bought a couple more walnut boards so now I have to start the face frame over again. DOH!

I can’t recall ever seeing the tool only for sale. Perhaps I have not been paying attention, but they all seem to come in some sort of kit.
