What did you do in your shop today?

I just picked up a couple roles of that to reseal my cyclone dust collector exhaust tubes.
I considered using that stuff, but because the Woodcraft tape does not have adhesive it can be removed easily. I don't know for sure because I haven't tried yet, but it might be reusable if I have to change things around.
 
Tom, hope you don't mind me copying this idea!! seen something similar, but somehow this really struck home this time. I inherited a lot of pieces like this when a buddy moved. They would be perfect for a project like this.

Not really my idea Garry, it’s a version of the “chaotic” boards that MTMWood does on YouTube. Take a look. He will show you correct way to do this. He has more than one version, along with a bunch of other really cool stuff.
 
I'm cleaning the shop and filling boxes of stuff headed for the burn bin. I may pack up some boxes for sale dirt cheap of stuff I will never use but too nice to burn. I have to make 35 square feet of open space int he shop this week. A local friend is upgrading his CNC table and he offered me his old machine in exchange for some work so it looks like I'll be taking the plunge into CNC router work. Although i hear they are a s good a the lathe @Mike1950 has for storing stuff.....

Actually wasn’t today— yesterday.
I finally got my last light fixture assembled/installed/wired. Works just fine!(now there are 11 of’em)
Obligatory pic, and the since There was more
more light in that area, I felt the need to clean/rearrange a couple of my blank racks since I had cut a bunch of new rounds.

If you think woodworking is a vortex you are in for another one. Congrats
 
2 panels back on the clamps for the night. Decided to keep them the same so I can interchange/swap the pieces between them.

So, been helping with classes last weekend and figured I better get to the garage and see if I learned anything and start practicing. Had a few blanks ready so jumped into it. Did get a juniper finished before wife got home so, that will be a simple valentines for her. Made a nice funnel, and .i continue to struggle with a piece of mesquite form @Bean_counter .......shape, everything. It is just being difficult.

and....finally used my Tail Stock Steady!!

The mesquite is beautiful, what is the struggle? I love my Tail Stock Steady as well.
