What did you do in your shop today?

I wouldn't say that it was cool enough to work in my shop this morning (it was about 82 in there when I went out there and opened up the garage door and window), but I wanted/needed to get some stuff cut on the bandsaw. At least 82 is better than the 93 it was in there last night...

Processed some of the Redwood Burl I recently acquired from @Anthony - WOW! And a little bit of some Sinker Redwood with some real nice color and figure.

Also cut up some stuff I got from @Don Ratcliff - some Birdseye Eucalyptus and Coffee Wood. No pictures of that right now - camera died...

But, Don, that Birdseye Eucalyptus is toxic. You better send the rest of what you have here for proper disposal! I'll be doing you - and the state of Hawaii - a service. :sofa:

I was in shorts, a tshirt, and sandals and had a fan blowing directly on me - and I was still dripping sweat! (The over 90% humidity didn't help either...)
 
Man i would love to see some 80s right now It's been in the upper 90s here with heat index in the 108 to 110 range. And I've been having to work out in it all week Heck my company truck don't even have air. I know yaaaa yaaaa yaaa lol
 
I started with 4 six foot 1X12's, cut them into approximately 250 pieces, cut grooves top and bottom and got the ends and sides rounded and the faces sanded on the first 150. Tomorrow I'll brand the customer logo on them

Hold on, no need to get down on yourself. I only got 150 completed, the rest still need to be sanded. :sarcastic:
 
You Sallys complaining aboit the heat give me a break. I was logging in a flannel shirt (no joke ) in triple digit temps yesterday.
Although I do admit I was GLAD to be in a cool truck driving to Abilene today - I couldn't have done it again today I was plumb sapped. We're in our hotel and I am sipping an ice cold Corona and will sleep like a baby tonight - I'm still not totally recovered from it. I just love the heat though for some reason. Can't wait to get back in the woods this week!
 
Pretty much finished my wooden knife. I was sanding it for a few hours sitting on my back deck. (Summer shop sanding area).

Brink, how do u get a tractor ready for display anyway? Especially a boomer? I have an older one (TC33D) and the China shines through on it. I sure had to laugh that with the hydro F/R pedal on the right side they would put the brakes on the same side... What a deal... totally bassackwards.
