What did you do in your shop today?

Greg, I worked on electricity as well today. After our 14 hour power outage yesterday and the many more we normally get each year, I invested in a portable generator that is powerful enough to run our water pump, two fridge/freezers and more. Our closest neighbors have whole house backup generators but I didn't want to invest that much money when I can cover the emergency needs with this one.

Actually spent some time in the shop today.....mostly cleaning and organizing. Unpacked the last of my boxes. All my turning blanks that I've been hunting for. Moving sucks......I did manage to get some time on the lathe as well. It's been a few years since it's been used.

A little father daughter time in the shop today....she picked the wood, decided on the dimensions and the pattern..... Pretty good looking cutting board for her step dad for father's day.....

That's very thoughtful, from both of you.

Especially since I wouldn't piss on the guy if he was on fire...... Long story......

Oh I understand completely. I'm in the same boat brother!!! But we do it for our daughters. It means a lot to them and that's all that matters.

Love the story and that’s an AWESOME cutting board!

Worked in the garage a bit after work today, the 220v 2 stage air compressor is now live! Almost ready to disconnect the 2 110v old lines from the house and wire the rest of the garage circuits into the garage panel.

Anything we can help with?

I had a couple of blowups myself today, too aggressive using only CA glue on the endgrain. Should have learned my lesson from a couple of years ago when I last made them. Back to PVA glue and newspaper for me.

Unless you can prevent me from doing stupid things, no. Thanks for the offer though!

I'm no help on not doing stupid things, all too common in my shop. When I'm doing stupid things I always wear my face shield so at least I have that going for me!
