Well, I woke up yesterday morning and it was a little chilly and completely overcast outside. I did, however, have the day off. So I got online and saw the threads by sawduster and Tom Hintz and they were both something along the lines of "I actually built something." So I thought to myself, "Robert actually built a potting table? The master of the scroll saw actually built a table? :icon_scra Ok, I've got to get some shop time in today." :rotflm:
So I went downstairs and first built a shelf for my boss at work. Nothing fancy, just 1/2" ply, took about two hours. I had to build it mostly in the driveway since I can't quite saw a sheet of plywood on the good old TS in my tiny little shop. :BangHead: There was a pretty nice NE breeze ripping down the driveway and when I was done, I looked and my entire driveway (and all of our cars :roll was COVERED in sawdust. VICTORY! :icon_chee:eusa_danc:eusa_danc:eusa_danc:eusa_clap Man, it felt good!
Once the shelf was done, I decided to go in there and work on the nightstand drawer again. This proved to be pretty tough. This is my first drawer, so I was very busy screwing it all up. :BangHead::BangHead::BangHead: At one point I actually stuck a nail through the previously perfect front of it. :BangHead::BangHead: After a while, I was so frustrated that I threw in the towel for the day. :roll: But the good part was, that shop looks like there has been some work going on in there! Everything is covered with sawdust. My tools are scaterred all over the place. Ahhhh....... it feels good. :eusa_danc Just thought I would share a few pictures. While a lot of you are cleaning up your shops, getting them ready for the crawl, I'm covering mine with sweet sawdust! :icon_thum:rotflm:
Thanks for looking. :notworthy:
Cheers, ccasion1
