What did you do in your shop today?

Take the time to read up on some aspect of woodworking you haven't tried Marc.

Matt, get me some measurements of that old rest. I need the diameter of the post, how high from the bottom of the post to the top of the rest, and how wide is the rest. I might be able to help you out.

Was just about to place an order with Rockler, since they have free shipping right now - but probably good that I checked in and saw your post first!

The post is 5/8" diameter. It's a 6" long rest (that I'm hoping to replace with a pair of rests - 4" and 6"). Bottom of post to top of rest is 3 5/8". The post itself is a touch under 2" long.
 
No! Give your body time to heal so you don't end up with life long problems. I have been through it twice now. Once for my back and once for a ruptured bicep. I did exactly what the docs said and I don't have any issues.
 
That's a bunch of readin!

Gotta idea on what I'd like to next though....cabinets. I need to make one for the microwave....

Yes sir....
 
Your wifes a smart lady looking out for you. I'M just concerned for your welfare buddy.
 
Marc, my dad's been through a lot too and I know that he would echo Greg's advice - especially from learning the hard way. There's been a few times he's tried to push himself too soon and still pays the price... We want to see you get as fully recovered as possible - not partially recovered with serious problems the rest of your life!

I don't know if this will help. I'll try. One of the times I broke one of my legs (broken both) was when I was in the USCG. I did it on my off time and how I broke it, where I broke it, who I broke it with, and especially what I was doing at the time I broke it, would have definitely gotten me a court martial. I went to Capn's mast over it because that's standard procedure if the investigation shows possible destruction of government property (my body). Marc you would probably never guess it but I was damned good at my job and took it dead seriously. In return the pilots I flew with trusted me implicitly. Well, most of them but we won't go into that haha.

During my Captain's mast, the XO's office filled with pilot's I flew with everyday of every week of every month, and they came to put in a good word for me because frankly if the XO had found me guilty (and he could have) I would have been dishonorably discharged and spent time in the brig while awaiting all the paperwork to go through. None of you would agree that what happened should result in a dishonorable discharge but that too is another story.

Instead of all that happening, my colleagues convinced the XO to summarily dismiss the matter. So for the next six weeks instead of fixing radars and flying which at the time I loved to do, I spent much of my time in my apartment watching soap operas. Remember back then there were only 4 channels: ABC, NBC, CBS and PBS. I got hooked into one of them soap operas. It was about someone named Luke and Laura, and Luke ran a disco and raped Laura one night after closing it down. It turned out that Laura enjoyed being raped by Luke so much that she left her husband for Luke (I learned that years later from a girlfriend while telling this same story about my leg and Captain's Mast).

So while you think you have it really bad, remember, it can always get worse. You could have to spend some time in a military brig awaiting the undeserved shame of a dishonorable discharge. I suggest you embrace your feminine side and enjoy some soaps. BTW do you have any updates on Luke and Laura?

Hey guys I have an idea on how to keep Marc from doing something stupid. I'll PM everyone the plan.

In the meantime Marc, you should watch the forum for clues. Watch closely . . . . . .

Don't forget to look Marc. The clues will be well hidden and difficult to find so get plenty of rest between looking for the clues . . . . .
 
Sorry @Kevin, went to bed. I haven't watched the soaps in donkey's years, but apparently she's still alive and enough of a celebrity to rate an endorsement deal.
