I unloaded my $25 wood splitter and I got my wood splitter wedge finished. This is mostly an experimental wedge. My buddy came up with the design and then I found a YouTube video using the same design so that was enough air in our sails to decide to build it. I don't know if it's good or bad when the welding rods are a significant amount of the project cost.

OOH I want to play.
I made this.



My best friend lives in Texas, He had a cancer benefit this past weekend, I made this for his charity auction.
The hat is stainless steel recycled silverware and the stand is a cut down fire place poker stand.

I am very happy to report he is doing great.

I got tired of the north side of my shop being a swap every time it rained so I installed drainage piping.

New addition to my shop, came home with this Baldor grinder w/stand just won at an auction. It sure is quiet compared to my old junky grinder.

I built a swing for our grandchildren two week ago. Originally 14 ft tall but my wife made me to cut 2 ft off. It instantly became popular addition to our place. I will post pics

Another addition... I bought a dilapidated 4x8 steel work table at an auction and spent the weekend bringing it back to life. Added a 1/4in steel plate, cut the legs/pegs off and made some 'boots' with heavy duty swivel casters. I can tweak the height by putting 'insoles' in the boots! Wife wasn't crazy about my baking in her oven though. I finally have a large welding table that can double as a large outfeed for my table saw or move outside for dirty work. :cool2:



Still need to trim the old top length to match the new and remount the big bad old Wilton vise that I am currently restoring. Thinking of some kind of QA mount so I can go flush in seconds.
