What did you do in your shop today?

[woodtickgreg]

I finished my air hose holder.
Unruly hose is now tamed.
Close to the lathe, I like that.
I made a mount for a magnifying light.

And mounted it to my flip top cart so I can use it with the scroll saw or remove it when planing.

I installed a fence for the radial arm saw.

And I milled up a crappy walnut board for a glued up panel I need.

It was a fun productive day.

Went and met a somewhat local guy today I've been in back and forth contact with. He has some good contacts with purchasing local logs and processing them and these 16in wide maple boards followed me home....

Out of the clamps, glue squeeze out scraped off, sanded and cut to size.
I used a block plane that I purchased when I was in high school to break the edges.

Not in the shop but had to take care of a project at home, with the COVID-19, My daughter's college closed campus so I had to figure out a space she could use at home for a few weeks. Spent two days cleaning out the basement, Dug out an 80 year old Jenny Lind spindle bed from my grandmothers house that was originally going to be turned into a bench for our porch (Glad I hadn't cut it up yet) Some pine, a bunch of screws and it was usable again. Then drove up and picked her up along with her houseplants and enough stuff to survive a few weeks.

@Schroedc , Colin, mattress looks a little firm. Guess you don't want her to get the idea this is permanent...…..

Apparently I didn't take a photo after installing the slats and the mattress. I was glad I still had one twin mattress in the garage I hadn't gotten rid of.

It's an air mattress!

Well, the outside shop and a different kind of woodworking.

Easy to ship, just some assembly required.

Not bad if you have a 1/2 socket and wrench.

Here I sit watching finish dry.
The bottom that you will never see again once its installed. Just a coat to seal it.
The top will get 2 more coats.

I did the same as Tom, spent the day cleaning yard and various planting beds. No chipping for me though, raking and stacking into various burn piles. Thankfully it is going to be raining tomorrow, I don't think my body could take another workout like I had today.

 

[Schroedc]

Got four sewing machine bases cut, engraved, and assembled. this is the last of the paying work I have lined up. I guess next week I'll start prototyping a few things to see if I can get some more orders coming in......

Tony, are you using ordinary epoxy for that, or do you need a specific adhesive?
