What did you do in your shop today?

Then I briefly started on the wood shop side. Its overwhelming, I dont have any idea of where to start or even know how it got so bad.
Theres a workbench under there somewhere.

20191012_173419.webp OMG, where to start?
20191012_173400.webp Maybe find a home for my garage sale sandpaper find. Will it fit in this drawer?
20191012_172211.webp 20191012_172801.webp Nope, needed 2 drawers.

I got my miter saw mounted back in its spot since I took it outside for the trailer build. Started sweeping a bit, ran the shop vac, and put a few things away. I guess when I'm not working on Rodney's saw I'll start on the workbench and just keep pecking away at things until I get er done.

And I was going to send you a box of goodies... I think I'll hold off a while.:scare3:
 
Yuup!! That's kinda where I'm at. Was gonna say your shop was clean on the first batch of pictures, you at least could still see a spot or two of counter.

But, the wood shop side is close!! :lol2:

Lately I have been really distressed over nitbeing in my shop for so long. Shop is an absolute wreck, more of a dumping ground than anything else. So I fi alot had a weekend off, decided I needed to start getting my shop back in order. I totally forgot that I have @Bigdrowdy1 chainsaw to look at still. So I started with clearing the workbench in the metal shop so I would have a warm place to work on it since the weather is starting to turn here.
Even the metal shop is a wreck.
View attachment 172882 I got the new kennedy top box set in place.
View attachment 172883 I got a new vice I purchased over a year ago mounted to the bench.
View attachment 172884 And now I have a place to work on the saw. I even found the starter I purchased for it.

thats really clean compared to @rocky1 shop...just saying :sarcastic:
 
Gregg, your workbench looks pretty close to what my desk looks like. :blush: I used to keep it orderly, but lately, I just push things back until it falls off. It's a shame.......... Jerry (in Tucson)
 
Over the weekend I tried to start getting busy again with the fun stuff. Tried to make a pizza server.......well, turned into a bottle opener. Got my insert glued in, but didn’t pay attention to how lung the threads were on the server. Lesson learned. Then a few pens. Going on a business trip next week and want to give the antler pens as gifts to friends I will hopefully catch up with. The flame box elder was ready to turn, so got it done. May carry that next week. Also decided the cutting board could be two, went to a friend’s and borrowed his router table. Out of that trip (and a few others.....) bought my first pieces so I can build my own.

Worked on a 5550 watt 'troy-built' generator and got it going. Did the same on a 27" *no* blower. Both were being sent for scrap. Still need to check amperes and flow rating on the generator. Also had a truck cap and plastic bed box for a Dodge Dakota in the salvage.
 
Getting a bit carried away! I made my first cheese board and since it turned out alright, I did a couple more.
Mostly jarrah and tasmanian oak.
A table saw would have been nice, but I guess you can't have everything. :(

Picked some nice boards today from a pre-garage sale.

I think I have three koa boards, a tulipwood, and a red heart. The koa(I think it’s koa) has some nice figure!

@rocky1 I still havent got it. At this point man just keep it... I truly mean this. The time is measured in year(s) now and I'm over it, especially since I'm the one who has to bring it up everytime. At least now I wont have to worry about asking again! (Seriously I'm done with the pen trade so dont take this as another jab for you to ship it)

They look great. I have an arbor and fixed shaft assembly I took off a wooden table saw from the 1930's. I'd send it, but shipping, likely cheaper for you to buy one. With your skill, sure you could make your own table saw.
 
Not a darn thing, .......but sitting here watching the snow fall and dreaming of all the projects in the 2020 Woodturners Catalog
