Saturday, September 21. 2013Wood Shop Update - September 18, 2013Well, I see that the BLOG site has the expanded screen size problem again. So far as I can remember, that has only happened after Roger Kramer has made a post. If I were Sherlock Holmes I would be beginning to make a deduction. Hopefully Jamie can fix it again. This will be very short since I seem to be in the 'fuzzy picture' mode as happened to me eight months ago. The images are bad, even for my blurry vision. But here are two.  Open Space Concept As reported elsewhere on the web, we are hosting a national meet of the members of the Old Woodworking Machine group. There are 93 registered this year which would make this the largest so far. We spent Wednesday on the annual spring cleaning of the wood shop areas, and managed to fill the dumpster, and hauled some away to another dumpster. The result is a clean and seemingly larger shop, with an open space concept. Folks are on hand as I write this now, giving clinics and demos, and from far away places - including Virginia, Georgia, Texas, and California. Did I mention North Dakota?  Ceiling Plates The crew on the CTS 4223 thought they were all done with these, but during the cleanup, we 'discovered' another eight or so. So Al Reinschmidt cleaned them up and went about the painting tasks. |
