What did you do in your shop today?

[David Hill]

Well, I hobbled out and got another layer of varnish on a couple of Mimosa vases— pics to come.
Coupl’a weeks ago I’d boarded up our coast chalet because Beta (or was it Beto?) was comimg. Ended up straining my left knee apparently badly Moving siding sheets up the ladder; then this weekend it started aching really badly. So now I have this immobilzer and imaging that says the left knee now matches the right with a Tear of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus—- in English- a torn cartilage.
I see my Ortho buddy tomorrow— hoping for just a steroid shot & no imminent surgery.
And yes—- I’ve been going to work.

Hope you heal quickly and without any surgery!

 

[William Tanner]

Here’s hoping for a speedy recovery. Keep us posted.

 

[Maverick]

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

 

[FranklinWorkshops]

That's not good. But I see you have some sympathetic canines to keep you company. Hope you recover quickly.

 

[DLJeffs]

You have a coast chalet? I want a coast chalet. I don't even have a shed. Hope the knee heals quickly without calling the saw bones.

 

[Tom Smart]

Panels cut, squared up and pattern glued.

2nd to last glue up on first picture and last glue up on 2nd picture. Talk about a PITA to keep these lined up straight! I didn't

Always tough to keep everything lined up, Barry. But you did a great job with only a hand saw. Time to put that sanding block to use.

 

[Tom Smart]

I agree about keeping lines, well, in line.

 

[Wildthings]

Those are coming out freeckin' awesome!
What thickness are the "maple" strips between each row?

5/32” ? Don’t know, I’ll take your word for it.

Metric sure does make life easier. I’m off the county landfill to drop off a bunch of recycle stuff. It’s about 12 kilometers away.

 

[Maverick]

Here is how I handle the metric system.

I assume that is considered an "off the wall comment".?..

 

[Tom Smart]

Misted with water.

 

[Maverick]
