A Little Upgrade..

[Gary Zimmel]

So this morning we got the BLO on these two carcasses.
I'm really happy how the saw blade and dado set cabinet has come together.
The slides are going to work out just great....



My cherry and maple stock has run pretty much run out.
So I will be have to make another run to PJ White to stock up.
We are close to one month into this project and am real happy how far I have got so far.
The way it is going I may need a couple of more winter projects.

Hope everyone got a little shop time in this weekend.

Not a ton of shop time lately.
But enough to use up the last of my cherry and maple to get this far.
All but one of the carcasses with the faces on and most with the BLO bath.



Keen eyes can see the carcass in the center of the pic has the back grain running the wrong way wrong.
Just trying to use up all my sheet goods.

After work I made a run to the lumber guy and I am all stocked up again.
Give this stuff a couple of days to settle down in my shop and we will be back at it again....

Man, that'd be about a year's worth of cabinet building for me. Looking good, Gary.

I second what Vaughn has said but i gotta say Gary you got me thinking on doing the same. Not being totally organized is not conducive to productive work. There is a ton of merit in just getting it done and behind one. Looking forward to seeing the panorama shot of the shop after install.

I've been having problems with my knee the past while so progress in the shop has been a little low...
But that being said I have finally got the second last cabinet of sliding shelves done.
This one is for my routers.
I lucked out to get the PC box into the cabinet. Ended up having a 1/2" to spare on the depth.



Only one more sliding shelve to do and these will be behind me.
Last cabinet will be the home for my miter gauge.

Hope everyone is getting a little shop time.

The cabinets are coming along fine Gary. Take care of that knee. Your tools have a better home than some pets .

[Gary Zimmel]

One more little victory on this project. No more sliding shelves to build...
The last one which will house my miter gauge was done this morning.





My plan is slowly coming together..

So last night I spent 7 hours in the emergency room at hospital....
My knee that I've been having problems with really gave out on me yesterday.
I'm thinking the splint and the crutches are going to slow the shop time down a bit.

Downside of this is they say I may need a new knee.
And I didn't even get time to clean my shop before this happened.

This Friday I get to visit my physician to see what the next step is.

Anyone want to come up here and build a few doors for me?

[Rob Keeble]

Sorry to hear the news about your knee Gary. Thats gonna slow you down some in more ways than just shop time. Hope it gets sorted quickly. I too will be a candidate for bionic knees at some point in the future given my past on motorcycles and the accidents that go with them.

Perhaps its time for getting a scroll saw you can sit down at and get some woodworking in that way.

Lousy news about the knee. My wife had her right knee replaced in July and is almost completely healed and back to normal. You'll be back in the shop in no time.
