Hi Waka,
Yep. I tell myself the whole time to put things away and brush off the bench, but it doesn't happen. The hurry up of the moment I suppose. The floor was ankle deep in shavings. Should have seen the 54A. Looked more like an aircraft carrier with what had landed on it than a jointer...
But I've got a fresh cup of coffee now, Philly. There's only a couple cups I take out into the shop...they just get multiple refills. The stomach can handle twisting and lifting as of Thursday.
Good thing too. The job starting Tuesday is doing the finish work through a 1 mil remodal, complete with stair work, mantels on all the fireplaces and coffered ceilings and built-ins in the library, wainscot etc. May even get the custom kitchen on the side out of it.
Worse, I may get a conference table job I quoted last week. A 16' by 5' 6" boat shape. Guess I won't be able to assemble that in my house.
And worse yet, I'll actually have to work.
Yep, Alf. Brass 144s from St James Bay. Bought 'em several years ago. I think he still is making the 3 sizes. Reasonable price. Needed to open the "throat" a bit with a small file. Still fine enough that they will mostly cut against the grain for when that's needed.
What amazes me yesterday, though, is that some work needed a chamfer (hence the little Preston on the bench) and some needed rounded over in two different radii--and I didn't get them mixed up :lol: . The little brain has difficulty sometimes keeping its thoughts on a single task, much less the job as a whole. I was working on 3 yesterday.
It was a good day. After a couple cups of coffee, we'll see what the new day brings.
Mike
