Great day, spent almost the entire day in the shop...missus took me to HomeDepot last night and picked up the tab for the lumber on a new bench I'm starting....just a little 4 footer, Douglas fir with MDF/Hardboard top and hopfully a vise or two down the road as the wallet allows... Didn't get far on it as I'm still in the re-arranging/cleaning mode...
this allowed a couple of firsts for me, one being using the mortising attachment, the other running the dado blades on the radial arm saw...definitely going to have to get some dust collection going soon...
And while we were at HD last night, they decided to give me a gift also....picked up a few ft. of 1x2 maple for the bench top edging, and as I was thumbing thru their stock for kicks and giggles, this beuaty slid right into the truck for the ride home...kinda of hard to cature the beauty, but it's there, all 8' 1x6 of her. I love cold weather, it brings out the quilt for that fuzzy warm feeling
As to thanking you all for the wonderful gifts, it'll have to wait until tomorrow, Post Office is closed today
