Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

.5 coffee brewing....stroke and a half for all hours worked today. Looks like I'll be stuck working 12 hours though due important work going on today.

You are correct that FAR to ATL is right about 5 hours.

Collectively, these are the things I'm wrestling with to make the decision:

• I get 24 hours of funeral leave and have 240 hours of vacation time. I'm not worried about being gone.
• Kids are old enough that my wife really doesn't need to "look after them" so being gone for a week shouldn't be an issue there either.
• The virus is still front and center so doing what I can to avoid it obviously seems like a good idea.
• I've had a massive itch to go on a road trip for a while. Granted, it was intended to be with the family but I don't want the kids out of school now that they've just started back up full time this week.
• Since timelines are still up in the air, driving means I can alter my schedule without having to deal with changing flights and the rental car.

There are probably some other things that I'm not remembering yet.

 

Years ago I purchased Starrett 12" dials then sent them back & exchanged for Brown&Sharpe for the covered rack. Something I try to tell new guys...keep the rack closed and away from machine chips.

 

Carpentry.....I'm in!

 

There's some excellent carpentry work that has been shown in here, I made this last week.

 

I'll throw some stuff up from time to time.

You're everywhere!

 

Here's some Peleton Racks I recently made. Have two more in progress and a few more potential orders. Used a 50/50 paint/water mixture as a white wash. Easy to wipe on and limitless possibilities with color choices. Making grey ones now.

 

@Martyinco made that this week, @Gregthespy made a sweet playhouse for his kids, @wilcam47 has made some cool items as well. Sorry if I'm missing anymore of the woodworkers.

 

Those look awesome

 

Oh...and made with Eastern White Pine harvested and milled right here in Maine.

 

And this mobile work table a little while back.
