Any woodworkers?

Love that gate door... It's like STOP!

 

Lol thanks. Built it for the girlfriends mom so her lab would stop going on the pool deck when they weren’t looking.

 

This is the moisture meter I use, for a cheapie it seems to be pretty accurate enough to get you in the ball park. I have friends that have tested it with more expensive units and it reads very close to the same. I think I purchased this at home depot. It's a general tool brand. It was around 30 or 40 bucks. Just uses a 9 volt battery.

 

Yes...used this:

Thank you!

 

I put the gun and stand together. Cleaned the gun and sprayed some water through it to familiarize myself with the controls. I put one of the disposable paint cups on, what a piece of crap! It fits so loose it would definitely be leaking all over the place. If you bumped it it would probably come off and then you'd have a huge mess. I put a few wraps of Teflon tape on it and that seemed to help and the water didn't leak out of it. Not sure if I'm going to use these cups or not, I may just put the cup back on that it came with and clean it when I'm done with it. The gun stand is decent enough and the top filter cone holder swings out of the way when not needed.

 

Went on another walnut run. 200 board feet for $200. I can’t believe she still has about 2000 board feet left.

 

I didn’t get all of this today. I’ve made five trips down there though. I’ve bought about 1000 board feet in total. There is some stored in my shop too.

 

Nice

 

I am soooo jealous!

 

We all are!!

 

Got any projects in mind for it?
I also see a treadle sewing machine base in the pic too.

 

I have been wanting to build a Hoosier cabinet for years. Just can’t seem to find time. I recently started making tables from the sewing machines bases like this one. I have two more also.

 

I have a few of those bases in my stash as well.

 

Oh god, I would buy it all. I’m sure I could sell just a little to recoup my investment.
Good luck with the projects.

 

I don’t have anywhere else to put it. My wife won’t let me store it in the house!

 

Trying out the spray gun today, got a lot to learn but I like it. I really need a better lighting set up, a raking light. Little 4 gallon compressor worked but it's not ideal, had to wait often for it to catch up. There some runs and it's not perfect but it's good enough for shop furniture and it was a good project to learn on.

First coat in the makeshift spray booth.
