Huge haul! Congrats…now clean up your bench.

I got some 2×6’s edge trimmed and glued up. It’s cold in the shop so I am using PL Premium. It will take overnight to set and I’m doing it in stages so it will take a while to build this workbench.

Purolater just dropped off a box with a 6 piece set of OMT blades. Only a few things left to come, one of which is yet more OMT blades.

Thanks BTP and Bosch.

Went out and bought 12 2x4x8′ and 2 2x6x12′ today. About $120. That’s still pretty high. I am going to build a workbench for “dirty” work so I can stop using my Roubo for that. Going to mount the big metal vise on it. Bench grinder will sit beside it on it’s stand, and the bench top drill press may even join them.

Finally, a shop project and…[Read more]

Door repair today. Replacing a section of the edge of a hollow core door where someone tried, and failed, to install a flush mount sliding lock on the bottom corner.

One of my neighbours came over and put the cap on the metal roof today. He’s the one that did my septic system. Great guy. I am going to get him to do the rest of the roofing next year. He’s booked solid this year.

I cleaned up the rest of the brush and mess from the tree felling. Got the main log up on some smaller logs ready for milling, but my chainsaw is acting up. Not sure what the problem is. I adjusted the carb and it still does not want to run at high speed. Perhaps a vacuum leak or something I will have to delve into later.

That is sad indeed. You have lost a family member.

Yes, and I forget what I was saving for too…lol.

The sander is a 6″. I wanted the 5″ but this was the substitute. The rest, you got it.

Got 4 boxes today with multiple items in each. They’re in the I got a box thread.

Thanks BTP and Bosch.

Multiple boxes came in today. Didn’t get some OMT blades and an 18V battery or the brad point drill bits yet.

Can you name everything in the photo? Some are substitutions from what was on the list.

Many thanks to BTP and Bosch.

I got an email today about some substitutions they are making, so obviously things are happening. Thanks BTP and Bosch.

I burned a tank of gas in the chainsaw getting the brush partially cleaned up. I am just putting it on the edge of the ravine behind our house. I’m sure the bunnies and small birds will like it and it will eventually compost. Still…[Read more]

Today was a well deserved day off. Did a bit more painting yesterday and got the lights put back up and cover plates on. Had an arborist come over and take down a big pine by the chapel door that had a heck of a lean on it. Otherwise I would have done it myself. The way it was leaning it would have landed on the roof or the power/phone lines.…[Read more]

Still painting.

I have used Maxx brand. Not sure if it’s a Canadian only thing, but they seem to work OK in my experience.

More painting. Man there is a lot of walls and half walls in this room. Looking good with adding the white to the room. Covering over the dark panelling was a good decision. Maybe done tomorrow or the day after, then I have to start making some plate rails and trim.
