Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

More tree trimming today. No helicopter required.





I made three vices for field sharpening chainsaws a few years ago. Kept one, gave one to a brother in law that helped fell the trees from these stumps, and gave one to the neighbor that gave me the little Poulan saw I use for small stuff. I don't use my vise much, but it's hard to keep the chain out of the dirt cutting stumps, so a touch up was in order and it came in handy.

 

Here’s what my saw finished up today,

next up is this cranky old splitter,

 

Alright shop crew I'm working on a rear seat delete project for Mal. I was thinking about getting a pocket hole jig, Kreg 320 to be exact. This will allow me to wrap everything in carpet and hide the screws. Any thoughts?
It's been a fun project so far. Lots of mistakes making the templates.

 

Man, this thread is on FIRE!

Maybe I’m getting too old to keep up… I had a couple of posts to multi-quote but all sort of other stuff popped up I previously intended to quote so I had to delete it all…

Just wanted to:
Nominate @RustyGreen for DIYer of the year - rationale:
From emergency response for Mrs, getting the vehicle back to the homestead, getting her to work the next morning, correctly diagnosing, getting the correct part, intalling it without a fubar, and having it ready for her before she got off work. A textbook example of manhood and chivalry. Above and beyond!


I wanted to also acknowledge @Gen1TacoLady for;
1) A Happy Birthday (sorry it took so long; and
2) To nominate her for the post of the month (maybe year) in this thread -

And last but not least, a Happy Birthday for @FishnTx (sorry it’s so late).

 

Why thank you.

You can do it!

 

One of the cats was staring intently out the living room window we call "channel 4".

Look who was looking back, about 6 feet from the house.



My phone isn't much for max zoom action shots unfortunately, it laid still for about 5 minutes then sauntered off not in any hurry.

 

Good show

 

I didn't know how many people would get the reference.

 

That was all we had to watch when I was a kid. 2, 5, 7, 12. That was the extent of our entertainment!

 

I have the 320. It's a great tool, just don't be cheap like I was - for the extra $5, get the clamp.

 

Despite her calling it "The Red and Green Show", my wife would have gotten it.

 

Thank you!

 

(You) are a man and you can change, if you have to, I guess.

 

Happy Birthday!! @Gen1TacoLady

 

Morning all have a great day
