December 20, 20223 yr Got a box of vice stuff that is now no longer needed. Might still build the Moxon vice for a clamp on vice but the Sjoberg probably will not be used.
December 21, 20223 yr Author I feel like Brent could incorporate those into his peirced nipple jewelry collection.
December 22, 20223 yr Author It's not cool! One man's Walnut rolling pen is another man's Ebony penis extension. Al, do I have a case for infringement?

January 3, 20233 yr Picked up the world’s heaviest box fan to attempt to clean the air better in the shop.

January 4, 20233 yr I am hoping some magical fairies show up at night night and do it all for me. No Steve, not what you are picturing.
January 5, 20233 yr After two hours of reviewing the Benchcrafted plans, I have only been able to deduce that the bench seems to be built out of various pieces of wood and the red thing seems to screw onto the spinny things. Think I might go back to making beer openers and put this on hold as I might be getting myself into a 5 year, $20k build based on my skill set.

You got this.

I think you must be a graduate from ship building school, to complete those plans.
January 10, 20233 yr Decided to scavenge pieces from the old drill press cart to build something with more drawers and a shelf to store various jigs across the bottom. Also needed it to be a bit shorter to limit lifting of the heavy ass drill press and fit the taller unit. New drill press will evidently be delivered tomorrow.

A real chicken and egg thing. Had to get a free engineer's bench to build the bench on. Built the top out of quarter sawn beech with a sapele underframe. Absolutely solid, zero racking no matter what I'm doing. Mind you, your workshop is much much bigger than my converted garage - seriously jealous!
January 11, 20233 yr Realize now I should have gone with less spalted maple and more hydraulic lifting table base in the drill press table. Heavy and awkward motherfucker. On an unrelated note, does anyone know the symptoms of a hernia?
January 12, 20233 yr We occasionally have sugar maple with tap holes around here. It looks similar, except the holes are larger.
January 12, 20233 yr Everything seems to be working and already dramatically better than the shitty Jet it replaced. So quiet… IMG_3037.MOV
