Popular Post wtnhighlander Posted July 10, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 So, this happened today... Boy has been begging to go fishing for a while, so I finally took a vacation day, and we went to a quiet lake in the Natchez Trace state park. Caught several red-eared sunfish, one largemouth bass, 3 striped somethings I don't recognize, and one blue catfish. Any day a fish is caught is a good day of fishing. And any day fishing is better than a day at work. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JohnG Posted July 10, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 I finally did some “woodworking” today, for the first time in a while due to the move. This was just cutting out a piece to mount our new mailbox, but it was nice inhaling some sawdust again. One rip on the table saw and a couple cuts on my new miter saw, then drive a few screws. I have all of my lumber and tools in my new temporary workshop- my unfinished basement- but I haven’t started laying it out yet. I currently have a mountain of cardboard in the middle of it that I need to deal with. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeslayer Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 Sounds like it’s time to sit down with a tape measure and a roll of masking tape and start to figure out work flow John, good luck and be sure to post some pictures so we can see how it’s done properly, rearranged the storage in my shop today, now I won’t be able to find anything for a week 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardA Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 Boo's a lot less active than me. His arthritis, even with medication, keeps him hurting most of the time. He's 10 human years old and the Vet's chart says for his weight and size, that he' probably closer to 80 in dog years. Which means at my age, I'm more active than him. By the time this little girl is 5 or 6 months old she will be close to Boo's size, and will be bigger. One more interesting thing about this little girl, is that she has 2 dew claws on her hind feet. You can see it in the pic if you look close. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 I read that the extra dew claw is to aid her in opening the food container when you’re not looking. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might actually happen. My current space is about 17'x24', so it's actually about the same area as my last setup, but I don't have to share this one with bikes, lawn tools, etc. To the left of the shop space is another unfinished room, and to the right is a "basement garage" where the HVAC, water heater, breaker panel, and my loaner ZTR mower are. The top wall with the door and window is an exterior wall, and there's a half bath and small storage area under the stairs that go up to the main floor. I currently have all of my lumber stacked up along the exterior wall since some pieces are 10-12'. The ceiling is 8' but there are some ducts running through there that lower the clearance to just under 7'. I'll play around with the grizzly workshop planner to get a starting idea, then will start moving some things around. (Once I get all of the cardboard boxes out of there) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily my wife has plans for that space, so she is motivated to make the shop build happen. There aren’t many outlets currently in the space, so I’ll have to figure out what I want to do on that front, whether I run extension cords or install additional temp circuits. The house has plenty of power so I’m not worried about that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted July 13, 2020 Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 You know your sharpening skills are improving when your block plane shave away half the thickness of your fingernail, and you don't even notice. That was planing into the nail. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jonathan McCully Posted July 13, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 Made an offer on our first home. Sign says “Sold” but offer hasn’t been accepted yet, but builder’s agent seems to think it will be. Have lived in 7 different homes in the last 13 years with the military and are hoping we can finish my last 5 years of service in this one. Really excited to have a home that is our own. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is, was hoping for a full 3 car garage, but this turned out to be our favorite home and 2.5 should work (~540sq ft). Haven’t ever had a full garage to myself before, so I’m excited to get it all set up 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
