It's actually a little annoying. My shop is a dumping ground for stuff from the house that doesn't have a home. And my son also leaves stuff all over. I really want to get a large shed and need to get around to making that happen. In the interest of transparency, I took some shots of the clutter.

Like all things in life, it progressed organically over time. The JVC on the bottom I had in college and took to Germany with me. It has a broken tape player but I can't get rid of it because it has an aux input that I can connect to my IPod. The Hello Kitty came next. It plays tapes and CDs but sounds like crap. I should ask my daughter if I can get rid of it. It's hers. Finally, the huge Sony on the top just works and sounds good. I took it off the curb. No aux input though.

Yeah, NO.
Don't the various audio things get sawdust in them? Mr. Clod's CD players kept breaking. |

I should note, our garage looks just as bad. I just don't go out there.

MY shop has been basically abandoned for the same reason. Kids got access and started dumping shit there as they moved from place to place. Now MY shop is a holding ground for their crap. I think this fall they are all gonna get fair warning that their crap will either be with them or Goodwill. I want MY messy space back.

My garage just doubled in size. That might be the best part of having the whole place. Having Amanda there when I come home might be ok too.

Popdigr's shop makes Glatt's look like an operating room.
Clod, you would prolly take one look at Popdigr's shop and drop dead in your tracks. It's truly remarkable.

Let's see. Where are we? Last weekend was a 3 day weekend, and I got a few hours in.
I had been working on the table mount system. The block that supports it all needs to have bolt holes drilled into it to bolt it to the frame. Pretty straight forward stuff. I mark the hole locations. I'm anal about this, but don't know why. It doesn't matter much exactly where the bolts go, and they will be out of sight. First I use large forstner bit to make room for the bolt heads and washers. Then I drill the center bolt holes in the little divot left in the center by the forstner bits. It will look like this with bolts in place. Last edited by glatt; 09-09-2016 at 11:43 AM. |
