You are a beast, Colin.
What did you do in your shop today?
- Thread starter woodtickgreg
- Start date
Busting a$$ to try and get enough jingle to buy some time on the building. My day started at 6am in the shop, left about 9pm.
Long, hard hours for the self employed. But I'm sure the satisfaction is worth it.
Never fails. Under a deadline and something goes sideways 
The flat black paint I used yesterday to fill the engraving on the pens I was hoping to deliver tomorrow isn't setting hard so when I go to buff and polish it just smears and makes a gooey mess. I'm guessing I got a bad can or something. I've used this brand before without an issue. Hoping an hour in the oven at 170 degrees will get it to harden up.....

I use spray ink on my signs. It drys fast and comes in different colors. I spray a coat of shellac first then the ink. No mess and drys with out a mess.Never fails. Under a deadline and something goes sideways
Don't like to throw things away - so what can I use an old smoker for? Mini wood kiln. Drying some blanks to use my new stabilizing chamber, vacuum pump, and cactus juice on. The little toaster I first used was giving them a good tan! Beside, that thing had put out a lot of great 'Que over the years and couldn't bear to just throw it away. I'm just an ole softie!
I made an egg....out of hrb..
Very cool Marc!!! Is that going down South? Tony
It may be sold. But the lady lives in Florida....so ...yes. it's most likely.
Honduran rosewood burl...
Finish on that one is awesome dude!! Looks great!!
I'm making some things, haven't needed a band-aid yet....
Oooohh those are gonna be sweet
Did you make a broach?
Used a cut down sawzall blade.
I'm looking for design ideas....got a quick pic of it? No rush...
Finally getting back to my garage reorganization/clean up. Last week I got some junk out of there that was taking up space. The other day I started on my dust collection setup. Started building the base for the setup. Today I worked on adding some fittings to the Super Dust Deputy in preparation for it eventually getting mounted into the setup. Hoping to work on it some more tomorrow afternoon.
Did you ever get hose? I used a rubber quick boot on mine to neck it down to 4 inch line.
Yeah, I ended up getting it all taken care of. A local buddy ended up having some. But now it's looking like I may not need it after a minor design change to the setup - will have to see. I know what I want it to be when it's done and have a general plan in my head, but I'm kinda just putting it together as I go and have a design decision or two to make along the way. Going to be a fully contained unit on a stand. That way if I ever need to move it, I don't necessarily have to break down the whole dust collection setup to relocate it.
