  1. Happy to help with a guild renewal! I dread the day I have to deal with a DoS attack at work. Good luck!

    I was planning on making my rocking horse a zebra as well. Thanks for the inspiration!
  3. I've started setting up shop in my garage and am trying to figure out how to deal with the small amount of water seepage I get occasionally towards the back wall. That's where my workbenches currently live and I can't imagine their wooden legs are going to like soaking up a bit of water once or twice a year. Assuming waterproofing the garage is our of the question is there anything I could coat the legs of the workbench in that would help? Rubber sheeting perhaps? It's usually only about 1/4" of water, but I'm sure it's enough to do some damage.
  4. Unfortunately locking the door isn't really an option. My shop is in the garage, and thus is a space he will be going through quite frequently, even if only to get in the car. I may have access to a keyed switch which I'm going to wire up all the shop outlets to, so hopefully that'll be a good first step.

    Mudroom Bench

    A little project that I put together to start learning how to use a router. I may have "borrowed" the design from a Pottery Barn bench that I didn't want to pay $300 for.
  6. I'm lucky enough to have a pretty spacious garage where I have started setting up shop. Unfortunately, living in New England, we also like to put our cars in there. And since cars, tools, and all other manner of garage goodies inevitably interest young kids, my two year old son tends to spend quite a bit of time in there as well. So my question is this: Has anybody done anything clever to kidproof their shop? I'm already pretty diligent about unplugging everything, lowering my table saws blade beneath the table, removing the router bit or hiding it behind the fence, but I'm about to purchase a bandsaw and I'm pretty sure he'll be able to reach the blade. Also, as I end up acquiring more tools, both power and hand, I'm just not confident I'll always remember to get everything out of reach and unplugged. I've thought about adding master switch/breaker to turn everything off and just hooking a light to it so I can easily tell when I forget to turn things off, but any other advice on keeping all my child's fingers attached?
