What did you do in your shop today?

I really wish I had a second dust collector or a larger system. When I expand the building/business (hey, might as well be optimistic right?) I need to either put in a system large enough for the laser and other tools at the same time or a separate exhaust system for the laser. This is what happens when you have to turn without dust collection :sarcastic:

Engraving a ton of boxes for these pens for that customer.

@Tom Smart yours go out to you on Monday. Just making sure the paint is dry.

This one? I'll have to dig, don't know if those years are still online after the owner of the paper died. That was done while I was still working out of the garage.

Nope, couldn't find it online. Hope these pictures work. There's a couple errors but for a guy starting out the free publicity was great. I can't believe it's been just four years.....

Finally finished something. A Flip top cart for my planer. A friend of mine didn't use it any more so picked up this really gently used Makita. Cleaned it up, new knives and added the Wixey digital height gauge. Great little gadget and not expensive. Now what to put on the other side of the top. Would really like the Jet OSS, but they are crazy expensive here...

Note that the Wixey is designed to replace the existing height gauge, which is usually on the right hand side of the machine,,,, except on the Makita! So had to get creative on the mounting.

Well BigDRowdy1 came over to my shop for a visit today. Had a ball... Made a Cedar Snowman, Maple hollow form bowl ish thing and a reverse winged curly cedar bowl from a cedar crotch.
Sharpened some tools and in general just had a hoot.

Saw this in person. It is awesome!!! Don,t let the cap fool you!! Once it snaps shut it is a pita to open and seals flush as all get up. Didn't want to push it closed because that very reason. Beautiful stuff pics don't really show it for what it is.

Freaked out, can not find a thing. Serious P Touch action on the screws, fasteners and hardware:

screw sort 2.webp

And then for good measure had at my stash - I mean Inventory of knife scales. Perhaps you recognize some of these names:
