What did you do in your shop today?

Well, I'd like to say that yesterday I got my wood storage organized. However, I do like to look at myself in the mirror so I'll just say that it got less disorganized.

There are small parts of my wife's side of the garage that I can use and I had built a rough frame that I could put longer boards in and lean on the wall that sits between the freezer and the person door as it's otherwise unused space and wouldn't interfere with her parking. Over time that had gotten to be a catch-all of any kind of wood.

Yesterday I put up a couple of those wire shelves that hang from the wall and while I had all sorts of good intentions of keeping this sorted by species it quickly turned out that I don't have enough discrete shelf space for that. So it's sort of stacked that way. At least for the smaller stuff I can more easily see what's there and I did put the thins together. Thus my comment on "less disorganized."

The longer stuff still sits in the frame and leans on the wall and it is easier to find things (at least for now when I have a rough idea of where I put things - next week all bets are off though.)
 
Congratulations Les! My daughter will turn 11 in August. I cherish every day and am always surprised how fast time flies.
 
@Sprung And here I thought you'd be making a mallet. The above photo shows why I hurried and knocked them out.

Edit by the above one I meant of my daughter. I knew my time would be pretty wrapped up.

Hehe - Over the weekend the finish went on the mallets I've been working on, but you gotta wait until it arrives to see yours - no sneak peak pictures here! Letting the BLO cure for another day or two and they'll be in the mail to you and Colin.

And, it looks like my post didn't go through previously (internet has been crapping out on us lately), so CONGRATS, DAD!!!!
 
Thanks, I can't wait. I will count it as my birthday present. As crazy as things are here right now it may be all I get ha ha. That cup is going to be a total knock out!
