Troy, I have several projects that are ready for paint. One is an ornamental birdhouse box that has been done other than outside paint for a couple of years. Another is a lighthouse that I started in July of last year. Most of those parts are ready for paint. Also have two Christmas ornaments and one flower waiting. Bill
Thanks,I’m looking forward to seeing them finished.

Came home from shopping and found a soggy box on the porch, it thunderstorms while we where gone.
2 generator covers, a welding hammer, and a very large opening adjustable wrench.
Miller wanted $80 for a cover for the welder. I found a waterproof generator cover on Amazon for $20.
So I bought one for the generator too!
Adjustable wrench was for the Nova chuck.

At first I thought you had something on the chuck, I was wondering how in the world did he get that perfect texture. Then I realized that it was your chair. I even had my glasses on.

These blades have been hard to find, I found them in of all places Amazon. They are for vintage Stanley scrapers.
This is what they fit.

Got some dyes from woodworld in Dallas Texas, they shorted me one so I have to call them. I also got a jar of Acks polishing paste, thought I would give it a try. Looking forward to experimenting with all of this stuff 
New quill for my 3520b. I was drilling a larger wet maple hollow form with a forstner bit. I guess I extended the quill too far, with a bit that was too large and got too aggressive. Believe it or not (I’m still having a hard time with it), I bent the quill. A $100+ lesson. From now on the smallest bit with the quill extended the least amount before hollowing tools.
Look at the light coming under the quill. Took me awhile to figure out why I could not move it, I just never imagined I could bend it.

Did you have to knock it out?
No, I could move it with both hands on the wheel.
Spent the better part of several hours taking everything apart, cleaning, lubing and putting it back together before checking it for true. Thought at first it was gunked up, then maybe a burr in the channel. The channel was marred and I did file it thinking I’d be good. Not to be though.

Weird, never heard of that, I had to replace mine but it was because I stripped the threads, driving big forstner bits......
Nor had I, Barry. Guess that’s why it took me several hours of tinkering to sort it out.
Just got this yesterday, Their purpose is mainly for mechanics who want to spray various solvents to clean brakes and other stuff, But my plan is to use it for spraying alcohol based wood dyes, I have sort of a production gig where I make shadow boxes and display cases for the Trophy shop at Luke AFB. Dark wood is the most popular, but I have lots of maple and oak, that doesn't take dark stain that well, dye works better. This unit holds a quart of fluid, I will report back when I try it. It's charged with compressed air...

Finally got the last bottle of dye that I was shorted on. They gave me some stickers and a couple of buttons to apologize for the shorted order and delay in shipping.
Now I have enough colors to play with come this winter.
Then i got a box for the metal shop, well packed........
Inside where 2 more boxes.......
Chuck jaws and a chuck key.........
For the new 4 jaw scroll chuck for the southbend metal lathe. This will be useful for production square material work.
And the new backing plate to mount it. Ill mount the plate on the lathe and turn it down to fit the chuck exactly.
Then i got a new battery maintainer for the motorcycle.
It was like Christmas in August for me today!

It's coming brother, that's what the chuck is for. I'm re gearing up, takes money. Turning chisels, tool rest, a hollowing rig, and pallet breakers are on my short list.
