Whatta Mess

Yeah...

I had the shop clean and organized...then summer came and so did more stuff. Fall arrived and with it my former part and tools of my lab...then more stuff. Its not a total disaster, but getting to the bottom of these piles of material things have been driving me nothing short of crazy.

Good news out of all of this is I have been raising money, by selling odd and ends, to achieve the 220V line that I need to get my Grizzly tablesaw working. Its been slow going, but I'm confident in the spring to be able to bring the lines over to the garage that I need.

More good news is the Case DI has made its way to my homestead. I'll have pictures up soon, restoration is going to be slow, but I'm super excited to have this piece of working history at my house/workshop. More to come as the year moves forward.

From time well spent to something awesome.>>>


From time well spent to something awesome; I brought the cabinet to my uncle and gave it to his paint man Timmy. I really wanted the cabinet painted red, but they painted it a cream white like everything else in the spray booth. No worries though; it came out awesome. I was so happy to get it back the shop and reassemble the whole thing. To date I haven't put all the hardware back on, but I think I will pretty soon. Its so nice to be able to work on models and when I want to wood work just close up the cabinet and not have worry about dust and dirt.
