I like that long reach vise-grip. Was it on sale?

And are those ratchet clamps the style that Cmeyer25 has that have the straps in a coil that keeps them from flopping around?

I stopped at Canadian Tire for one thing (a new 2″ trailer ball) and I ended up buying the following:

On the weekend since I am waiting on some siding for the extension, I put the weather stripping on all of the doors (Garage door, man door to the outside and the door between as only one side is heated) in the mean time.

I dropped and broke my french press that I keep at work – damn.

Bee boxes and frames, my wife and step daughter needed more so I had to do a bunch in a hurry.

Not much of a tool, but the slow boat from China delivered my new adhesive metric scale for my new miter station, this one had both left and right reading sections and was the right price even if it was slow.

I had to replace a chair bottom, this one failed with my Brother-in-law sitting in it, but I suspect the plywood I am replacing it with is much stronger than the press-wood / chip board seat bottom was.

My order of 4″ dust collection stuff and a Freud industrial saw blade from BusyBee tools arrived.

That looks very yummy!
Are you going to make some wine or just to eat?

They are wine grapes, but with this relatively small amount they are destined to be grape jelly instead.

I finished up a couple more swing arm lamps- both maple, one stained dark mahogany with aniline dye the other with just a coat of natural shellac under a couple coats of wipe on poly.

I had to go play at being an appliance repair person and plumber for my mom, I hate plumbing but her clothes washing is working and draining now, so at least I was successful.

Ended up going to the Lowe’s website and placed an online order for 36′ of heat cable and an adapter kit. (First time placing an online order with them).
Wife sent me a text today asking wha…

@JimDaddyO, Jim have you considered moving East instead of North? Not to overly plug my home province, but there are several areas of NB with similar weather to where you are at…[Read more]

Making some more of the swing arm lamps, even though I have been unable to do the steam bent lamp shades yet.

I finally mounted the hooks to hang up the kayak in order to lend the trailer for 2 canoes for a quick outing. Now I have to decide if I can put a storage shelf above the kayak and still get it up and down easily – never enough storage.

I was working on doing some more of the swing arm lamps and decided that it made sense to make a small dedicated 45 degree cross-cut style table saw sled out of scraps, safer too.

With my step-daughter pregnant I am having to repair and prepare a lot of baby stuff, so one of the things on the weekend was this second-hand changing table with a crack on the side and destroyed drawer slides for the drawer. To me it appeared as though a child was jumping in the drawer to damage it so much. The only drawer slides I had on had…[Read more]

On another note – my hops grew enough to flower, I am not certain I am brave enough to try and hop my own beer but they sure smell nice 🙂
