I Hate Math

Today was real lesson in geometry. I spent most of the last couple of days trying to get the lift-out trays right in the new box.

I think I have one set right, tomorrow I'll see if I can get the other side right!!!

I am close!

My Playground

I just realized that I haven't shown what the shop (playground) looks like when it all setup. It's a small shop but I seem get everything done that I need to do. Everything has to be on wheels so that it can be put away at the end of the day (got to give the stall back to the wife's car).

It's also a very simple shop. I get all the work done on these simple power tools. I would consider this to be a old school shop. I tend to do a lot of the work by hand rather than the purchase of a power tool for one operation. If I can't do it on the power tools that I have, I do it by hand. The bench is hidden in this picure, it's all the way on the left behind all the stuff.

I find it more enjoyable that way and I learn the old school way of doing things.

Blog Changes

Okay, I finally figured out the FlickR bar. Stay tuned for additions to the gallery of stuff from the shop.

I should have some new ones of the desk re-finishing project, along with the new box prototype I have been working on.

It's Done

Well it's finally done. Took a lot longer than I expected but, when you design as you go that's what happens. Overall I'm happy with the outcome. The next one will be wider, the only problem is that I can't put what I want into the shelves on the right. Not enough room.

It took a while to design the adjustable shelves for the right side. The idea I came up with really did work. The bottom one is fixed but, the other two are adjustable in the shelf pin holes.

And yes it's being used. I had the clean off the top so you could at least see it.

The Next Project

Now it's time to think about the winter project. This is the old Oak desk Gay got from her dad. She wants to have it refinished so that we can use it in the house somewhere.

The top is in pretty bad shape, I will need to come up with something to make it look presentable. I may need to try my hand at veneering (or something), we'll see.
