It was the jointer today. Before I quit for the day I set it up to make some dado's tomorrow.

You can remember from day to day what you were doing?

Belt sander on one and the table saw on the other.

Absolutely nothing in the shop. I had to work at my business, I do believe retirement has to come soon, I can't handle working outside the shop anymore. Jim

Except to deal with demands from "the better half", I don't work outside the shop anymore. This is the up side of retirement.

Yesterday, used my Craftsman handheld jig/sabre saw to cut cradles for Shopsmith powerhead. Building box with handheld tools to ship powerhead to repairman in FL. Hope to have it completed Friday.

Wow, today the sun was shining and the temp was in the low 60s. Groundhog Day, go figure. Anyway, didn't get much shop time but I used the tablesaw, jointer, bandsaw, drum sander and belt sander. Beyond that I used my shop-made router table and my 12" planer. I even used a handplane on the job today to "neat up" some trim.

Today I used:
Keyboard
Mouse
Ink pen
Printer
Copy machine
phone
scanner

I would a lot rather be in the shop than at work.

Yesterday and today were good days in the shop.

Shopsmith jointer, Shopsmith ProPlaner, Mark V (as a saw), Mark V for conical disk sanding, Mark V for drum sanding, Mark V for drill press, Shopsmtih belt sander, Shopsmith band saw, Shopsmith router table.

Snow blower, broom, snow shovel, Snow blower and snow shovel. I suspect more of all three later in the evening. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. Jim
