Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Extra Large, 4x4 foot, modular, open ended, dovetail clamping grid, router sled is complete.

 

I don't have any experience with that brand but I built 3 shop vac dust collection systems earlier this year.. two are dedicated to machines and one is for all the other things. With the Dustopper lids and 5 gallon buckets I've barely gotten a fine layer of dust inside the vacuum itself and its super easy to just dump the 5 gallon buckets.

 

I get the concept, but I’m not sure I understand how it’s used/purpose.
I could see using it for a linear pass through similar to a dado.

 

It's for making wood flat

 

Aaaaaaaaah.

 

The router goes right and left.
The sled slides forward and back.
The dovetail grid is for clamping the wood down.
It's open ended so the length of a project isn't a factor.
With the side rails being removable, shorter or taller side rails can be used to match the project.
A round object, a wavy object etc can be flattened for further processing.

 

Hey at least you got something for 20 years....I didn't get nothing for 20 or 25. That said I did walk away with about 1000 feet of bull rope, a sand blaster, 5500 watt generator, 200 feet of 10 gauge drop cord, 3 chain falls, 30 feet or so of chain and a couple large boxes of misc. tools during the latest warehouse clean up. They needed to make room for (8) 40 foot containers of cabinets for an up coming condo project. I'm glad I have been too busy to help figure that out.

I’ve got this, but I need a bigger shop vac than a 2 gallon 2 hp vac to use with it.

 

However, it sucks when you have to remind management of it! All of us hourly people keep saying that the salary people need a pay cut to see how inflation really affects people. So these 5 year anniversary gifts go a long way for the little people.

Time to get moving Wrenchmen

 

Good morning shop men and ladies, let’s have a great and blessed Thursday. Maybe even a productive one.

 

Good Thursday morning friends! Hope everyone had a great night and has an amazing day

 

Good morning guys, have a great Friday eve

 

Morning all

 

It's the small victories around my place these days, projects I can knock out in 30 mins or less in between chasing kids.

I had a hose reel box for years and it was fine, plastic but it had just seen it's day. I got a new hose, new mount and got this thing off the ground. Painted the mounting board, tapcon'd into block, rattle canned the valve handle and I'm back in bidness.

I can't understate how happy this tidyness makes me.

 

Looks good


My 1st thought was "how does that water line not freeze" then I remembered you're in Florida

 

It's definitely not rated for Nebraska winters

 

Or Virginia
