What did you do in your shop today?

I'm working on a never-ending project; rebuilding some old wagon wheels. I took this commission about 4 months ago and told her, " This will take me awhile", never realizing it would take THIS long. I've screwed up and had to rebuild the hubs 4 times now. Just one of those jobs from hell I never should have taken on. Oh well.......

Also, my neighbors boyfriend came over to introduce himself and borrow a drill. He's from Boston, and was looking at my pile of mesquite like it was lumber from another planet. Kinda funny!
 
Watch out for Bostonians who borrow drills. Especially if your neighbor is a guy . . . .

:lol:

Boston? As a proper NY'r and one with manners, I will say nothing and go straight to my timeout chair.

Wow, you are really sucking up to the teach. next thing you'll be offering the staff an apple, with a twinkle in your eye. Are you trying to get banned?

Banned? Maybe...
But, Brink's work alone, and don't suck up.
In NY public school, early on we are taught about Boston and Texas and such. :rofl:

He bought it back from his girlfriends, so all is well. It was like watching Tommy Mac's show listening to him.

You meant to say 'nanners' instead of 'manners' since they are the same to you. I get it.
 
I decorated the showroom at the shop for fall today in preparation for the Fall tourists and then turned a dozen bottle openers. Then in the afternoon I took my 15 year old daughter shopping for a dress for the homecoming dance and of course then we had to go get shoes and a new bra and a ton of other stuff.....

Tomorrow I take my 13 year old son out to teach him how to ride a dirt bike he bought and we rebuilt...
 
Completed my first project on my new-to-me Saw Stop (see above). A friend asked for a large cutting board and asked that it have a juice groove. Had not done that before. Came up with this - 17" x 22". image.webp
 
I worked the part time job, went a bought a pair of cerwin vega stereo speakers for the home audio system I am building. Spent some time with my son and his girl and we went and got ice cream. I watched a movie on my laptop. No work in my shop today but tomorrow I will work in the garage to get that done so I can start setting up the shop.

Very nice! The purpleheart stripe really sets it off. Tony
 
As you have guessed, not terribly nostalgic about the ol Craftsman, Kevin. It left the basement shop pretty dang quick.
 
Go-rillas are scary. I always figured a leprechaun has no chance against a 500 pound animal with arms longer than his massive legs. I give up . . . .

 
I poured concrete footing for the new chimney for my shop. Metal one is shot. I feel really sore and old............:old::shok::sorry:
