What did you do in your shop today?

I can't show what I did in my shop this morning (see xmas swap thread for why).

Suuure that's the reason. I'll bet you were taping another segment for your naked woodworker YouTube channel.
 
Got a bunch of lumber planed down, run through the drum sander, cut, grooved, and about 1/2 of them into the clamps. I really need more of those strap clamps for the runs of more than a couple I keep ending up doing (Starting to develop a niche market for pet urns...) I really need to start thinking about something other than my Rigid brand workbench/table saw combination but I do like the nice flat plate to check stuff on.

Tomorrow I plan to design a new item, see if I can electrocute myself, and try to glue my shoe to the floor again.

I worked on getting our car ready for sale. Got a lot done tonight - cleaned up inside and out. A couple other things to do on Friday then I can get it listed for sale. Having it in my garage has not been fun - there really isn't room out there for a car, even with everything moved off to the sides and stacked up. It's like 20 lbs of crap in a 5 lb can out there right now... (Normally it's about 10 lbs of crap in a 5 lb can.)
 
Got the lids made and splines installed on a bunch of the boxes, then went home and repaired a power supply for a 1955 Lionel set that came from my wife's grandmother. The original power supply was burned out in the DC side so the horn wouldn't honk and reversing was intermittent, Found this one in a junk shop for 5.00 with a bad cord and took a chance on it (They usually run about 100-150.00 for a rebuilt or good used one) Got the new cord on it and it checked out with my meter so we set up the train and played with it for a couple hours.

I like all woods. The logo is just simple, so I don't ruin the beauty of the steel. It's not custom ordered, I just make them.... :)

I can understand that. What if you made the octopus the same size as the letters? The octopus is too cool to leave off. Have a smaller made?

If I find someone who can make me that I would pay immediately.
