random #21: some ramps for my truck, almost

155 days ago by Gary Fixler | 7 comments »

To save my back the next time I luck into some huge logs, I found and purchased some Highland Ramparts brackets from Pep Boys, while there replacing my new truck’s dead battery. I’ve seen gardeners in the area loading and unloading rider lawnmowers and everything else with these things, so me and a log on a hand truck should be fine, despite my ample size. I also picked up the required 2×8s, each 8’ long. Unfortunately, measuring my truck’s unfolded tailgate he...

My ramblings about life

383 days ago by robbi | 6 comments »

Well, I have been voyeristically (is that a word and did I spell it right??) hanging around this site for quite some time now, a few people have added me to their buddy lists and I have added a few, but no one really knows much about me here and I feel like I know all of you much better than that so thought I would share with you some of me. I am a step grandma to two teenage boys and a Nonni to a two year old and another soon to be born baby boy….yikes….gotta make another rockin...

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Hello all, Thanks for the welcome and I hope to post here often (now that I’ve figured out how to add to this blog thing). I’m currently trying to build a router table. I drew it up in Sketchup (I really like that tool as well), it is like building a rough draft on the computer. I’ve used and taught AutoCAD but man can you crank out a drawing quickly with this. I’ve bought a Benchdog plate and drilled my holes according to the Triton template (the PC2s) and th...

Various Projects

634 days ago by Blake | 13 comments »

Hello again, another random rambling. I just thought I’d keep you updated on what’s going on lately in my shop. So you may have known from my thickness sander blog, that I have been agonizing about whether or which sander to buy for many months now. Well, Yorkshire Stewart finally pushed me back over the edge to make my own from his blog (Thanks again!). This was the design that finally got me excited about making my own: It’s small and compact and just what I needed. So, I order...

Rambling #2: Workshop Eviction Notice (what to do?)

655 days ago by MtnManMEP | 32 comments »

Today at lunch, my wife informed me that she would LIKE my shop to be moved out of our garage and into the barn at our cabin, 116 miles away from our house. Given that I have to live in town for my teenage boys to attend high school and me to conduct work, this puts somewhat of a damper on my future woodworking. Now to be fair, this is not a demand but an extremely strong like, which I suppose is really like a demand without an ultimatum. What a conundrum. Here are the options I see I ...

Rambling #1: Well here I go and (now updated with) the lesson I learned

658 days ago by MtnManMEP | 14 comments »

I think I have all the preliminaries taken care of. Got the profile done, the email preferences set, a couple of projects listed and now I’m in and ready to start being humbled. Seriously, there are a bunch of outstanding looking projects here. I’m confident I can gain knowledge and ideas from this site. I look forward to future exchanges and comments. Update: OK, since I got some grief for no photo, even though I wasn’t touting a project or some other accomplishment...

Off on a tangent...again

901 days ago by dennis mitchell | 9 comments »

It has been awhile. Nothing very artistic coming out of my shop the past few months. Just grinding away at different cabinet jobs. I did get 300 bd. feet of knotty maple I’m dying to cut up, but I’ll just have to wait. Training an employee has been a rush. I’ve really been looking closely at the traditional rolls we take on when we become bosses. I really believe we create our own cultures where we work. They might say quality and really believe it but in lots of places t...
