LOL Yes, that's how it starts - teach her to sand and finish and before you know it she has taken over the shop.

You'll know when that happens when you see air fresheners in any available 120V outlet. And the glue bottle labels all face forward

HA! That would be OK. With understanding comes an Oscillating Spindle Sander, a Lathe and a new drill press

A spouse can be a wonderful addition to the shop. My dear husband not only bought the Wynn cartridge for our dust collector and installed it, but also make me a downdraft box, a cut off sled for my cutting boards, and piped the dust collection system to my scroll saw. I just wish I could get him in the shop more often.

Darn right! Scroll saw makes piles of dust. We kept the the tubing long so I can vacuum up the top of the scroll saw table and surrounding area. With the new Wynn cartridge, this is powerful! I love it.

Rick,

Here is a shop sign pattern you could cut with a scroll saw, if it's still working.

No copyright issues here. It's my own design.

I should have changed the color of the pattern. Black patterns are the hardest to cut as the color blends in with the color of the blade. Let me know if you would rather have a different color.

This is a funny thread,, but all this talk about loved ones in the shop scares me. First off I want to say I'm not a safety freak ,,far from it... but a shop is a very dangerous place for loved ones. For instants my one buddy owns a professional hardwood flooring business and a guy walks in the shop and was standing behind the straight ripper and my other buddy was running the machine ,,well a piece of 2x2 leg had a natural check in it and once it hit the blade it harpooned the other guy straight through his stomach out his back. He lived but man was that messed up. Just yesterday I ripping OSB my other buddy was just standing there with his finger up his... when all of a sudden a huge 4" long needle type splinter come jetting of my circular saw and stuck him in the face,,actually had blood coming out once he pulled it out.
So like I always tell every one don't scare me when I'm working (almost knocked out my one friend who thought he was going to be funny) and don't stand in front or behind me when I'm cutting stay off to the side of the direction I'm cutting.
Its cool to have company in the shop but sucks when a loved one gets hurt.

Wow. These kinds of stories are too common. A shop isn't a place to fool around. Things can go sideways really quickly. Hope both fellas have a full recovery.

Oops, sorry first pattern posted was a poor quality - low resolution. Replaced it with a higher resolution. Quality should be much better.

You have a sink in your shop? I have a funnel stuck in a hole in the garage wall.

My wife hates the smell of wet oil-based finish ... so I have this special homemade airwick filled with turpintine for times when I am really busy ...

lol!

I wish my girlfriend would visit me in the shop. Just don't think the wife would be as happy about it.
