68°F and no rain

Door building day now that my wood is painted. 1st 1 or 2 may take a bit longer as I figure out the how having never built these before. 5 2x4s,1 4x8 sheet of Plywood, 50-60 screws. Might have it down by time I do #6.
Results should be pic worthy.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

I see our friends up north with at least two more good snows. The SE may see some next week

25F and cloudy @ 16:30.

Got some heavy, intense lake effect snow last night, came in a bit west of where it typically does.

Fortunately did not last all that long. Did get enough to put several inches down on the ground so we've got another Winter Wonderland today ... at least for the moment. Will be gone in a day or two.

Diesel brought into garage and put into torpedo heater yesterday.

Got two buckets of whole corn put out for the deer and two suet feeders refilled, also refilled the two tube feeders.

Got the shave but not the haircut ... :(

Finished off chicken wings that Woman didn't eat for dinner, also four pieces of pizza, two for dinner and two for my bedtime snack. Woman made brownies, so had some of those as well.

Got the 4 x 4's cut down to four pieces for the posts for the woodworking workbench. Have been cutting everything slightly long so I can trim them to length without resting them on anything besides the chop saw itself to ensure they are square.

Dust collection works well ... when used.

Note to self: Turn on dust collection system before making cuts with the chop saw.

:LOL:

Did not get down to the basement to search for another 2 x4 (Woman had gone to bed)

Got all the radii on the cut pieces sanded and cleaned up.

Got the table on the radial arm saw mostly cleaned up.

Started another box for longer wood scraps.

Some more gluing done on several pieces, including this one that I missed the split on before I cut it:

Should be dry by now so I can clean it up this evening.

Also got back into sanding the fence for the router table:

Hopefully get that finished up tonight.

Order placed with Amazon for dowels, edge banding, chip brushes, and 4' t-track with miter bar for the router table.

Also managed to order threaded inserts for the bolts for the casters on the workbench and router table that I initially forgot to order ... 🤬

All should be in tomorrow.

Gave Woman a hand with her wall washing and cleaning activities as well.

Hope everyone is having a good Tuesday ... (y)

The ground hog lies a lot literally and figuratively

The wind is howling here
An interesting study would be the Groundhog vs the meteorologists . . .

According to the national temperature almanac, the groundhog has only been correct 39% of the time! Luckily, we have meteorologists who are much more accurate than that! Last year, Punxutawney Phil did not see his shadow, predicting an early spring.

2 1/2 hours and 1 door later. Actually that one needs more work. The corners need some reinforcement. I did put together a jig so subsequent builds should be a bit faster.

Do need to make a trip to HD today for more screws etc. as a result will be treating my dear sweet wife to a nice dinner out. Hence, I may or may not get a 2 door to this stage.

Updated Good Morning:

Remembered to take a device when we went up to the woodlot for dog walking

I got some photos of my lower arm modifications from a couple weeks back for your critiques (Planck iron pipe nipples as spacers on the Case Eagle arm shafts to keep the Fergie-style arms outboard for triangulation/stability):

I am sure there is some sorta superior solution, but this was under $10 and about 20 minutes. And now I just need to go and try it out one of these days real soon.

Finally, here are the “new” chainsaws, pictured with my former “PROPERTY OF UHAUL” saw next to a Jen-U-Wine Homelite saw case:

The one with the Oregon r is the best-running of the three, the one with the shorter bar needs the fuel line to the carb replaced (it is cracked), and the two-tone is a parts saw. All three for a C-Note.

Movie Trivia:

The saw used by the character Leatherface in Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a Homelite SuperXL12.

Maybe I missed it? The part where they give the accuracy percentage of the meteorologists? “Much more” is not a quantifiable comparator…
