Weekend doin's?

[Bob Lasley]

Good Friday moning everyone,

Threatening rain here in Okieland for today and tomorrow. So maybe I will get a little shop time tomorrow. Sunday being Easter, will mean family goings on, but then I always enjoy the grandkids.

So, what's happening in your world this weekend?

Have a great weekend all,
Bob

Well, we had some company arrive last night--some left-coast, online friends of LOML and their two young children who are visiting friends and family here in the east. I believe they are headed down the road mid-day and the weekend can get started after a visit from an insurance adjuster and a bit of work for the "real job".

With any luck, I'll get some shop time this weekend; tonight and on Sunday. Saturday, we are attending an outing at Longwood Gardens with another bunch of LOML's online friends from the TableTalk forums, so I doubt much shop activity will be on the plate.

I also need to do a few final things on this nice, new computer to do the big switchover and also finalize our tax returns and get them transmitted...it's that time of the year again!

Have a great weekend, everyone.

What else would I do ??

I have a long list of free kit requests to fill. So it is sort, count, package 1000 pen kits. Then box & address 17 free kit requests and 3 bulk buy orders. Then I need to turn 14 Chaplain pens.

Sunday morning I need to hide some eggs and in the afternoon go out and see if I can find them :D :D :D. "Senility is not a disease, it's a fact of life"

Soggy Bottom Folks,

That kitchen punch list is getting longer instead of shorter. I'm hoasting the holiday festivities in my new kit. Pretty brave on the part of my family if you ask me.
Low voltage task lighting and under cabinet lights are in and working!!!
Now where do I hide all those wires:confused:

Finally hired pros to clean inside and out. Not my favorite past time and just don't have the time.
Have a great weekend. Go easy on the jelly beans.:D

I took today off to catch up. I have to ship some marking knives, get some handles turned for another batch of snakewood knives since I sold out. I have to lay down more grass seed and the fertilizer and grab grass prevent which will still allow new grass to sprout. Hopefully my g-g-g grandfather's other tool chest will arrive at my office today from Idaho where my uncle has had it for the last 40 plus years. I'll post pix if it comes folks.

Then there's this slight matter of cleaning up the house for the arrival of Ben and Doug from Shepherd Tools who will be my houseguests for the next two nites. I don't really figure it needs much cleaning, but Management has given the orders and my lot is but to obey. (see meaning of the acronym SWMBO) Tomorrow Ben and Doug are doing a demo and running a class on infill plane making for our guild. I'll be building my second Shepherd, a chariot plane.

Sunday is making more marking knife handles, workiing on some awls, and starting a batch of cutting gages. I'll try to post some pix of the plane making class over on the Neanderthal side of SMC.

Now everyone play safe out there.

Trip down to St. Petersburg Fl to visit daughter and son-in-law this weekend. That means no shop time, but get to go to the 'Big City' and stop by Woodcraft Supply. Hopefully they have a PC 121 and some other GOODIES to follow me home.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Easter Weekend. Keep the focus on HIM (Whomever that is for you) who makes it all possible.

LOL, I hear ya' Ken, They say sex drive goes first, memory second, but quite frankly, I don't remember which went when! :D

Well it is strongly looking like this weekend will be my fourth of zero ww'ing! :mad: I'm still wrastlin' sprinklers in my yard. If I ever find the moron who buried the lines 18" deep...well, look for me on your P.O. wall....:rolleyes:

Toss in that the LOML and I will kill half a Saturday sitting in our respective dentist chairs getting some enamel ground and I don't see a lot of yardwork happening on Saturday. :(

Some of you know (and my profile indicates) that I am from Colorado and well, it is BASEBALL season again AND that always means: PLAYOFF HOCKEY!!!

And, NO!, I am not a San Jose Sharks' fan...it is the Colorado Avalanche all the way, Baby!!! :D

Any Detroit Red Wings' fans on here??? C'mon out...it's okay.... :D

[Rob Littleton]

Well.....................bet yu cant guess what Im doing this weekend...

Driving to Arizona to meet the trailers to unload into the new house.

I will be able to unpack the new boxed lathe but not sure ill get much time on it. Gonna hang out there all week and come back to CA next Monday to continue back at the slave drive place they call work.

Hopefully, the painting is done and the LOML has ordered soap stone for the units so that should be ordered. I know there is some tiling going on too somewhere.......(guess whos in control of this project. Not me obviously)

I ordered the Hot Dawg and the Oneida so that should be at the property waiting for me.

I hate the thought of the drive but hey ho, gotta be done.

Have a wonderful Easter. He is the reason for this season :-)

Praise the Lord.

[Chris Padilla]

Rob, let me know when you are back in town...I'll show you around the gara...er, shop! I promise! :D

Got my weekend started early, off work today. I did a little work already on a fishing lure display case for my father-in-law. I am making it out of walnut and will do some glass panel doors. I also would like to get a start on some raised panel cabinet doors for a sewing cabinet I made for SWMBO almost a year ago. Yikes! She said she hasn't minded using it minus the doors but would like to see them on.

Have a good weekend everyone!

This weekend I go jointerless for 2 weeks as I ship mine head to Byrd for the making of a helical, so on the agenda is building a box to keep FedEx Ground from denting about 100# of steel. Good timing as I have a stress fracture of my right foot, and so heavy lifting, etc., is not possible. Will try to do the light work of rebuilding my shop for the advent of the already gloated used tools which will arrive in a couple of weeks. A very exciting time in the life a a tool addict.

Hey Mr. Lasley.....

I have spent at least 8 to 10 hours a day in the shop EVERY DAY this week and don't think I'm gonna stop before SUNDAY!!!! Got the Adirondack chairs done, finished the adirondak table to go with the chairs, turned 55 pens, turned one bowl and working on another one.

What am I going to do this weekend? More shop time!!!! :D :D :D :D

It will be church Sunday and some time with family and friends and THEN it's back to the SHOP BEFORE I have to go back to work on Monday!! :(

[Todd Burch]

My day was cut short today working on the study as a tang on my power cord for the compressor decided to break off in the outlet.

I've already fixed that, and was able to install my new ceramic Laguna Guides on the 18"er this afternoon too. Seem like they'll work just fine.

Felder machines ought to be here late next week or early the next, so I gotta CLEAN HOUSE big time to fit them in.

This weekend, I need a SERIOUS fix of doing some woodworking for me. I have NO idea of what I'll come up with...

He is RISEN!

[Dick Parr]

Saturday will be working on some pens for the FPP and watching the masters on tv. Sunday we will be going to see the grandkids and give them whatever candy is left that grandpa hasn’t eaten. :D Then come home and watch the end of the masters.

Yeah, what Tyler said!!! :D Pictures, Terry! We *NEED* pictures! :cool:


Oh yeah...And my weekend. Primarily work on getting cabinets built for the bathroom re-do. Got all the faceframes done and picked up hinges and knobs today. Still need a bit more wood for carcasses. Also need to mill up some more Maple for the door frames. Would love to get some more FPP's done, too. Step-daughter is bringing new boyfriend out to "meet the 'rents", so that'll chew up some shop time. Somewhere in between all this, I still need to get some more work done on my buddy's bass guitar. Just not enough time! Well, everyone have yourselves a super weekend and wonderful Easter. :cool:

Hey That is a good Pix of you John! I sure do good work.

Yeah you do, my friend. :D Now, go get the "other half" of that work, which Chris was kind enough to doctor up and get your avatar updated! :cool:

Amen!! :rolleyes:

Just spent the day adding a new 220v 20a circuit for a Oneida 2hp commercial unit that should arrive soon; took awhile since I needed to lay larger conduit so I would violate the NEC. I built an outdoor firewood rack last week to store turning blanks that are taking over my garage floor. I'll spend part of tomorrow filling that up. Then it's on to applying some striper to an old brass bed frame, at least I think it's brass. A couple of fittings need to be rewelded so I'm striping the paint off first, then have it welded (or braised), then either paint it or, if it really is brass, I'll polish it up and apply a lacquer clear coat to it.
