Work, travel, home projects, daily demands seem to take away from the shop time. I have found time to get out there and do some re-organization projects. I added another tool board to the work bench wall and a rolling table produced from one sheet a plywood. I used the design from one of the wood working mags (Popular Woodworking, I think). The table is great, I use it a cut off table for the table saw and the drum sander. It sits in the middle of the shop with a storage shelf and drawer on wheels. A good choice for my shop and once I find the article I will add it for all to see.

I have also added the Worksharp 3000 and all I can say is what a machine. I have cleaned up my chisels and planes. If you do not have one, I would suggest adding it to your shop arsenal of support tools. There is a great tool review article up on the wood central that details the usefulness of the machine better than I can.

I started out on a simple project of changing out a cable for the TV and found that the last owner of my house had run the TV and Phone cables through metal studs in the basement with out chafing protectors.

Needless to say for the last two weeks I have been tearing down sheet rock, running cables, and replacing walls. Just goes to show you that there is never enough time to do it right, however, there is always enough time to do it twice.

I will, however, get some sawdust out of the job though. In the process of replacing the sheetrock, I framed in the in the power panel and I will take the opportunity to build some frame and panel doors for panel.

Got to get something out of it to feed the addiction… Right…
