Greg,
I was mistaken, Zenith was the manufacturer of the Carb in question....

I managed to locate the Gov't drawing of it.
What did you do in your shop today?

Out of the shed it comes. Later today I'm hoping to be able to post a picture of it all (plus a whole bunch that currently resides in the shop) back in the shed, after I've build a lumber rack for it. Having it all just stacked in the shed has been a pain to get at whatever boards I've needed - because it was never the ones on top. A multilevel lumber rack will make it much easier for me to sort it by species and size and be able to access it all easier. There's a few pieces in here from a mixed lot of boards I picked up that I'm still trying to identify...
Easy, It's wood.
Got the rack built, the pictured lumber into the rack, and everything else back in the shed. Tomorrow I'll move lumber from the garage to the shed and finish organizing the shed.
No pictures - it's dark already and I could barely see inside the shed to carry the last items in. Pics tomorrow once it's completely loaded up.

Pics before it's loaded would be cool too! Happy you are making progress, I know how that feels.
Got just a couple stamps in the mail, now to sort and organize all of them into some sort of comprehensive catalog for the stamp pens so I can take orders..... There are most of the commemoratives issued between about 1940 and 1965 here.
Aaaand apparently the camera on my phone has just $hit the bed and won't focus any more....

Lol! They're old pine hand-me-down saw horses. They held just fine.
No pictures because I'm sitting in the airport right now, but between yesterday and today I got the primer and final coast on the two existing walls and two wall cupboards attached. Also got the base cabinets screwed to each other.
Woodturning. Finish cut an urn from Wild Tamarind for an order. Prepped some box blanks. Mentored a student through a hollow vessel.
What's All this yappin goin on and lack of pictures.....
Ah... so tired of working with sheet goods. Had to get away from the kitchen cabinet making this weekend. Pulled out some walnut from the "imported" stash. Project pictures to follow, but here is a wip shot:

Spent the day on prep work. Stabilizing some blanks so I can complete a pen I owe someone and while those were bubbling away worked on prepping some stamp blanks for inventory and an order. Can't wait to get that thick acrylic so I can complete my monster chamber and run 4 or 5 colors at once.
Been battling a touch of flu this week and haven't seen much shop time. Finally feeling a little better, so this evening I had to get out of the recliner and go do something. Figured one of Doc's Christmas Bells was a nice simple little project. WRONG!!!
Let's just say, I'm glad I wasn't trying to make a dollar tonight! If it could go wrong, it did! Repeatedly!! Gonna call this one a Prototype, and hang it on our tree... Minor flaws and all!! By the time I got this SOB glued together, I really didn't care about minor flaws. Hour, hour and a half project, took 4 1/2 hours!
Y'all will have to excuse the bad picture, didn't have my phone with me, had to bring the bell in to take a picture of it and the light isn't great sitting in the recliner.
Spalted Red Oak on the bottom, Camphor for the handle, little texturing on the swell, CA finish on both.
Combination is sweet, colors work really well together. Was going to do Walnut on the handle, and I may try that too. Have a whole box of the spalted oak that I rounded out and sealed the ends, hoping to keep it from splitting, as it dried, but it didn't. Going to mix a little Christmasy glitter and resin, fill the cracks, and turn it all into Christmas Ornaments.
@DKMD Hope you don't mind if I copy your bells Doc!!

It looks great Rocky! No fun being sick, I've been under the weather too. Some sinus/ cold, or whatever, just don't feel like myself.
This stuff I've had is just miserable, feel sort of OK, if I don't eat; but I've got an appetite, and get hungry. 4 - 5 days meals went through me in about 45 minutes. Immodium stopped that but, within 10 minutes of eating anything, stomach starts cramping, heart starts racing, get a light feeling in my stomach and chest, get dizzy, low grade fever kicks in, headache sets in, get drowsy, and crash. Tried to go out and do a little work in the yard, nothing at all difficult, and broke out in a cold sweat in all of about 3 minutes. Took a few Pro-Biotics the other night, and within an hour my stomach felt like I'd done 500 situps; knotted up tight all the way across, and stayed that way for about 2 - 3 hours. Otherwise, just feel whipped... can't stay awake, until it's time to go to sleep, then I can't sleep. Have no energy at all!! Nature of the beast I guess, everyone I know that's had it, has the same complaints.
As for the bell, we are our own worst critics. My wife loves it, thinks it is absolutely beautiful! Everyone else will too. When I look at it, I see a bunch of things wrong with it.
