Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
That sounds like a pretty intense operation and a rough recovery, but a good investment for the future. I hope you are feeling better each day.
Plus a mean scar. Start working on your story for that ; ) |

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Indeed! I have some 1/4" curly maple pieces that I bought many years ago at a local hardware store. They were about 1/3 the price of wood boutiques like Rockler. One of my carving buddies wants to build a jewelry chest for his wife for xmas. He hasn't done a lot of woodworking, so it's going slowly, with me doing a lot of it. I'll post pics when it's done. Mahogany with a padauk insert in the lid. That piece got thinned and flattened in my "shop" yesterday. Even with the air filter and vacuum cleaner, there is red dust everywhere. I'll probably take the vehicles out of the driveway and run the leaf blower to get the rest of it out. We wore dust masks. I expect that it will come up on the toxic wood list about the time I die of the dust. It's a beautiful piece of wood, in any event. The maple will likely be used for separators inside the jewelry box.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Did our annual Food & Toy Run today. Great weather, got up to about 50 degrees. Of all the pics my wife took, we love the one with the older couple sitting in their driveway. Notice the plugged in electric blanket! Awesome!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Broke my planer yesterday doing the backsplash . Dewalt 734 12 1/2 inch unit . Made in China . Ordered some new gears and blades real pain in the butt . Looks like crappy metallurgy to me . The gears just shattered with no load on them so to speak . The gears drive the feed rollers

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Made a few Christmas cookies. My dad is 82 and he LOVES them! Mom always made them at Christmas and he asks for them on his birthday in July and he knows they're gonna be there at Christmas.
RECIPE FOR YOU GUYS: PECAN SANDIES 2 sticks softened salted butter (use real butter) 1/3 cup granulated sugar 2 tsp vanilla 2 tsp water 2 cups all purpose flour 1 cup chopped pecans powdered sugar to roll in after they're baked With your mixer, cream the butter, granulated sugar, vanilla, & water well. Then add the flour & chopped pecans and mix into it forms a ball. Chill for at least an hour. Form into walnut sized balls and bake at 325-350 for about 30-40 minutes until golden brown on bottom. Cool completely before rolling around in powdered sugar. Makes about 40 cookies.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Ended up with a hand planer and my 6 inch jointer to finish it took a lot longer but the same results . Sand, dye and seal then attach it next few days .

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
What I didn't do to my truck was finish buffing it. Not even close. Only got some of a fender and some of the front door. The thing about buffing a vehicle is that they always seem to get bigger and this ol gal was looking mighty long to me so I did the right thing and sat down and had a beer instead. It kinda looks two tone now. The original paint is shining up pretty decent except it's got that nasty sunburn on the rear fender. I'll get back on it today. Maybe I can make it to the bed. Probably not.
