Popular Post VizslaDad Posted July 9, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 9, 2018 I miss having a proper shop and my stationary tools (which are in storage until we get the new house built), but I have managed to scrape together a decent work area in the basement to help facilitate the major remodel we're undertaking in the current house. My traditional workbench is also in storage so I decided to crank out a version of Josh Finn's workbench from FWW. It's made of two beams (plywood + melamine, with soft soundboard on one side) and some sawhorse/work tables. They are far from perfect as other obligations put me on double-time construction mode, but they will do. The house we bought was a minimally-maintained rental for years, then a hair salon for a decade (the amount of human hair we've cleaned out of this place is heinous). Now we're converting it into two apartments, so we're building two full kitchens, adding a bathroom, adding some walls, yada yada. Fun times. RE: the shop space, en lieu of my proper Laguna dust collector I'll be using Ye Olde Ridgid with a dust deputy, plus some plastic sheeting if things are going to get very dusty. Luckily our climate and carport allow for work outdoors for the messiest parts. The last addition I need to make to the workspace before I start banging out the kitchen cabinets is a MFT-esque track saw cutting station to put on my sawhorses, which I will make out of MDF. I'm excited to use the Woodpeckers Hole Boring jig I just received to make the dog hole pattern. Anyone have any suggestions for my little slice of heaven here? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post wdwerker Posted July 10, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Isnt " zita" a type of pasta ? Very good looking dog. I understand offbeat names for critters, my pup is named for a Marvel character. Groot thinks bringing sticks and pine cones into the house to chew on is great fun. sorry for the digression, we return to your previously interrupted program. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VizslaDad Posted July 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 @wdwerker you too have a great looking dog! Funny, my father-in-law calls Zita "pasta" ("ziti" is the pasta, to be clear). "Zita" is a Hungarian girl's name that's like "Felicity" in english, and vizslas are a Hungarian breed. My folks once named a dog "Zing" because they didn't want to name a dog something they'd heard on a dog food commercial. Sure enough, the very next week a "Zing" was featured on a dog food commercial. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 I had a black lab that name Raisin Cain and a few years later the chicken place came along. Will your new house have a dedicated shop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will your new house have a dedicated shop? That is a fantastic dog name. Yes, the new house will have. Dedicated 24’x36’ shop building. I am stoked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
