Bushwacked

I use a panel sled, because I have not ever made a cross cut sled. I have not found a design I like enough spend the money on one and make it. Plus they are big and storage is an issue ...

Thanks! It definitely has come in handy storing a toooon of crap until I get some other stuff built. Yes, I have 2 glides on the back

The top left? I dont know yet ... I was going to put a smaller drawer, but not sure. Right now it is my sacrificial fence which fits perfectly haha If y’all mean the bottom left… so far this .. going to build out more stuff once I figure out what would make sense there.

Finished up the tablesaw storage … will get some more pics hopefully tomorrow.

Looks like a fun project! just curious .. what’s the big deal from 3/4-1” thick?

no, so far so good ...

All week sucked, Friday ended up being about 55 so it was all melted by then.

very nice!! but dang my boy would pee all over that thing!

I am curious ... whats the real difference in hard wax oil finishes from like a Fiddes or Osmo to something a normal person could make in a crock pot? (Think like the oil/wax blends people make for cutting boards and stuff) Is it just a higher quality oil or wax? different types of wax, maybe not beeswax? Just curious as I sit here in day 4 of the ice storm locked in the house with everyone :)

dang!! glad you made it through Coop!! Storms this year have been wild!

so I was just messing around with AI to generate me some ideas for a wooden towel holder for my daughters bathroom ... this is what it came back with. I was looking around online and didnt see anything quite like these ...

Hah! nice play there :)

dang! those are pricey for sure!

are you using it for precise cuts though? Or where does yours get the most use? Mine will still be there, just stored under the CnC and rolled out when needed.

At one time yes it was … part of the convo about moving it got lost. mainly moving it to clear up room around the bandsaw and the back of the garage. I don’t use the miter saw enough to warrant it taking up that room. So going to make a mobile base for it I can pull out that and the saw when needed.

Also moved the drill press while I was at it … seems like it fits just fine .. doesn’t stick out that bad.

ah. Ya I figured they would probably be a pretty penny. Currently it would be on the other side of where the workbench would be … however I am pretty sure I could flip the tablesaw and workbench/outfeed table to where it would be right behind me and 1-2 steps away vs 7-8 steps or so.

Thanks! hah! Ya I have just never seen a great solution out there that would fit my area. what kind of fire proof cabinets have you looked into? Not a bad idea there … while cleaning and working on the other 2 cabinets I had an epiphany … what if this other cabinet turns into my hand tool wall cabinet for awhile … take out the shelves so it’s a big open box. Could toss my big woodpecker squares and straight edges up there too. Build it to personally fit each tool. Would have plenty of room for expansion too. Maybe even have a slider door in it that would cover like 3/8 of a side when fully over. Inset some so it’s not sticking out. Not sure how to go about adding something like that after the fact … any ideas on that one about products that are out there? Or maybe just build a wooden track and just add it in there.

Current state … screw / drill / sanding cabinets done for now all the other crap that was on the shelves haha Still now idea what to do with the paint/finish section … how to store and all that.

started working on organization projects I had ... will have to go get pics and upload them again from our previous conversations. Will upload pics tomorrow of the new look in the shop so far ...

wow! what terrible support from Plesk!! using 6mo old backups in the first place is a rookie move .. they should have seen the date and asked a question before going forward. That is a joke! This gives me flashbacks of when I ran the DBA team ... they had some screwups, but dang, nothing this bad. Thanks for the hard work, I know this is such a time sink when crap like this happens!

Getting the legs laid out and c channel .. about all I had time for today ..

Are the legs on the base 2 8/4 pieces laminated together?

Here are some pictures … it’s messy mid project haha. was also thinking maybe get rid of all the cabinets and then build a French clear wall to build up specific sections where they fit on there too. Maybe? Like specific cabinets and custom holders on there in between tools
