What did you do in your shop today?

I've got some decent candidates for a scrub plane conversion, We'll see in the next few days if I get a buyer for all of it (So far 3 guys have expressed interest in coming down on another site) If not, I'll find you something.
I like (I shutter for saying this) @rocky1 idea of sending it all to me...
I took an old cabinet I had in the corner of the garage, brought it to the shop, and turned it into tool storage for my plane collection.
If they don't all sell (the spares) and you part some out there's a couple I could use of the lot.
Nice storage idea
Message me a list, I think I'm going to start parting out the group.
And, I got one I found buried in the shop I need parts for to Colin. Will get pictures and model number for it tomorrow.

@Schroedc
Do you have the elusive stanley no. 2 ? Very nice collection. I will be putting some shelves in a small closet that is in the corner of my shop for plane storage. I really need to find some time to restore some of the ones I have, new furniture etc.
Today I put the first coat of paint on the lathe storage box lid.

I don't have one yet but if I unload enough of my spares off got a line on one.
Only if I found one cheap. they're not that hard to come by, all it takes is lots of money. my number 43 is harder to find.

Today I finished up the lathe weight box top storage cover. Painted it over the last 2 days.
2 coats of black rustoleum.
Piano hinge mounted.
Mounted on weight box.
In a box of stuff I got from an auction there was this brass decorative piece that I didn't know what I was going to do with. Then it hit me, the lathe could use a little bling, lol.
I finished the day out pulling old cable wire out of the basement, and phone lines. Then I stuffed insulation above the shop wall to seal off the rest of the basement from the dust.

On all my wiring pass through I use a fire retardant caulk in each hole , Just a suggestion.
Not sure what the black and white wires are but wrapped around your 110/220 lines like that you can get RF noise if they are phone or similar....

I agree, but nothing in the 1950'shop house has anything like that. Lol. The new wiring is way better than the rest of the house.
Door bell, lol. low voltage so I left it.
