Overview
Ok, not much for a picture today,maybe later on. Need to move and remove a few things in the shop. Can't do a whole lot over by the Lathe bench. Too much other junk in place. However..
I can empty out, and clean up Tool Chest #1, and have it taken upstairs as a Hope Chest.
I can remove a couple power tools from one spot, place them where the plane til is. Then place the power tools where the til used to be. I may have enough room to move the brace til over beside the plane til. Might even connect them together. . Drill Press MIGHT get moved as well.
With me so far?
Now, I currently have an old dryer sitting in my way. I can clear the top off of all the junk and other boxed items, then have a couple strong backs (leaves me out) to haul the dryer up and out the the salvage yard.
To replace that storage spot…...Plan ( plan..plan?) is to build a 5-6 drawer chest of drawers to fit in the space left by the old dryer. Instead of a big, ugly pile of boxed tools sitting out and collecting cobwebs, all the stuff will be in drawers. I'll need to set the case up off the wet floor…..maybe a couple blocks will do.
Nothing real fancy, just old pine. Drawers will get through dovetailed corners, old white knobs. Plywood bottoms
First step for this wood working project will be to mill a few parts down to build the case. A long time ago, when I had a much larger shop, IF I had all the lumber on hand on a Saturday morning, saturday night would see a 4-5 drawer chest of drawers sitting there, awaiting a finish. 2 year span of building these chest of drawers meant I build and sold over 130 units. Got to be too much like a job. Pace will be a little slower, this time around.
Stay tuned….the fun is about to begin….
