I had a single vacation day I was toasted from a tough work week
this is all I got done the first half of the day.

Later I set up buffing wheels to polish some parts.

Ed;
They work by pulling the larger metal part out of the handles and inverting that component and then putting the end back into the handle. This will expose the seam ripper part. They are from Penn State Industries. My wife really likes hers because the handle is easy to hold and does not tire her fingers like the ones at the sewing stores do. She has a bit of arthritis and the smaller ones are difficult to hold.

Hey, Lightnin, a good cigar & a bottle of Point...I think the only way to improve on that kind of day would involve the National Swedish bikini team.
I only live about 30 minutes from the Point Brewery, so I've tipped one or two of them. Went to college there (the town, not the Brewery) & we drank it in cans...called them "blue bullets". They were a nickel cheaper than the major brands @ 30 cents a can. Who knew then that it was actually a good beer???[ATTACH]17674[/ATTACH]

I was going to say what woodworking I did last weekend...got sidetracked by the beer thing...I actually did some. Drilled dog holes in a bench that I made, so I can do more woodworking.

If cutting some firewood off fallen trees is woodworking, then yes I participated.
I seem to have less time in summer for my wonderful garage............:(

With Wife's injury I barely get to enter the shop. I was forced to hire a young man to build a set of steps to allow safer access out our back door. Today I am busy painting them, is that akin to wood working? Jim
