What Did You Do Today?
WhistlingBadger:
I got out in the shop yesterday and mangled some blue insulation foam to make a fake rock wall for a new aquarium build I'm doing. It's a re-creation of a Sumatran rice paddy.
Tradslinger:
still finding how weak I am, yesterday we managed (the wife mainly) to move, get rid of and clean a big area in my second bay of the two car garage (filled to brim with more of my dad's stuff). We were able to unload the 2x6 and 2x4 4'x8' work table and wash all of the built up dirt and grime off of it. finally got it inside where we put on a thick coat of varnish. Now I will be able to drag my belt sander easily out a door to use outside plus I can put my big vice on the corner of the table to get most of the shavings outside as well. After a careful sweeping by my wife, I used the leaf blower to get most of the remaining dust outside. Now I have room to move my knife sharpener and bandsaw around easily. I can also get my clamps hanging nicely. great day for sure.
Allyn T:
I cut up a foam foot pad and used it to pad the jaws of my vise. It's even tapered on one side to fit pyramid bows, used it last night it works great!

Sounds great, guys. It's fun getting stuff like that done.
Tradslinger:
Rather than watch the depressing news which I don't anymore for years, I did some more in my "shop". managed to wire in some new lights overhead of the new workbench and a switch for them. have power to the bench as well. moved my sander, bandsaw and knife sharpener to better locations for both room and ease of operation. released another possum elsewhere. got my clamps all hung up out of the way.
