What did you do in your shop today?

Yea ya know, I was thinking as I was hollowing it out, I wish there was a way to save the inside. Made a huge pile of lace burl shavings...

Get one of those concrete coring bits. Modify it to make it a big a$$ hole saw. Core it out. Then add a contrasting colored wood as the base/foot....
 
Today I dusted off the old Etsy shop and got things updated and added an item to it, I figure starting tomorrow I'll add a few items a day to keep it up on the search listings and see if we can get any sales that way. Maybe tomorrow I'll work on making some sawdust...
 
I sharpened and cleaned a couple of old wood planes that IIRC came from either @barry richardson or @duncsuss in the spring auction a couple, three years ago. Nice pair of No. 4 round and hollow Had to make a plane mallet to adjust them too out of ABW and LV. Decided to hold off on making inventory for a while as I have decent back stock and since no traffic it just sits there.

Yes, that was me -- just a few days ago I was wondering if you'd started using them. You must have picked up the vibrations in the ether :sarcastic:

Nice little mallet, btw :good:

Thank you, after the picture was taken I decided to add leather to one face so as not to mar the planes
 
I did nothing in my shop for the last 2 days, nursing a sore back. Just a pulled muscle, best thing to do for it is rest it as much as you can.
 
Did some shop cleaning today. I have not really done anything in the garage shop since January except run the bandsaw to cut wood, so it was a mess out in the garage. Still have several days of work before tehe garage shop is up and running and ready for me to build some furniture, but it's a start.

I also did some unpacking and getting ready for this:

Tomorrow afternoon I get to crawl under the van and reattach part of the front bumper cover and some other pieces underneath - and double check that there's no other damage. Hit a rather large racoon last night at about 45mph. Only a small crack in the bumper cover and broken mountings on the bumper cover and shroud underneath from what I've seen so far. For now some strategically drilled holes and some good zip ties will get it up back together.
 
Came down to shop in Ga to run some low voltage wiring, all other wiring complete. Ready for insulation. Some trees starting to change color...yea I know, but no pics

Matt, did you receive the dust filter yet?

I did! Haven't done anything besides unbox it yet. If I was to put it on my DC right now I'd have to make an adapter for it to fit. But, with getting the shop up and running over the next few weeks I'm planning a huge overhaul of the dust collector to add in a separator and change the way everything is mounted - and am planning on the design being easily changed if I find the one filter isn't enough that would allow me to easily modify to add a second. I'll try to remember to take lots of pics of that progress and do a classroom thread on it.
