OK, so I've been ragged on by a couple individuals around here for not posting enough pics of acquisitions lately. I won't mention Tyler or Jerry O. by name, but you know who you are!
The first is the new bench-top I picked up at Woodcraft a couple weeks ago, along with my very first LN (low angle block) plane sitting on top of it!I did find time to throw some BLO on the top. It's probably going to be a while before I can get a base made, as I'm still in the design and idea stage. Got way too much other house stuff to do right now, anyway!
Then there's the little 7" bench vise I grabbed last week, also at Woodcraft. Nothing super-special, but for $40.00, it's quite nice. I grabbed some QS White Oak I had left over from another project and made the jaws with it, followed with a couple quick shots of lacquer. Then, there's the "finishing room". OK, don't look like much, and there's still some wood and stuff in the corner which needs to come out BUT, a week ago, you couldn't hardly fit a sawhorse in there, much less two and don't even dream of squirting anything in there! Gave it a pretty good workout today, spraying out a bunch of window trim. I still need to improve exhaust in there, as all I have is a small fan, which I stick in the window. Lastly, and although there's no picture of it, we received Casey's 1st report card of the year. Best gloat of 'em all: She's keeping up with staying on High Honors and doing so while still in the accelerated classes!

Long weekend ahead: I plan on getting the rest of that wood (or at least, the bulk of it!) outta' the corner. I don't mind the overspray on it, but just don't want the additional dust collectors, which is what they primarily are!
