    A Good Bench Dog Is Hard To Find

    Meet Biscuit, my new bench dog. My Kid gave LOML and me a wheaten scottie puppy for Christmas. She has all the potential to become a great pooch and a wonderful shop companion.

    Very cool! Does that kind swell up when you put glue on it?

    Don't know yet. I'll let you know. So far it's too wiggly to glue.

    Cute pup, Hank! Just be a little weary about keeping it in the shop when running power tools. Their hearing is so much more sensitive than ours and the noise can really hurt them! Now, if you're busy doing the Neander thing, have at it!
    Cheers,

    60 grit is a turning tool, ain't it?

    Just look out where you step Don't want to damage any tools by stepping on em, or tripping on a cord.

    Real neat dog, but I'm betting she snuggles up to your wife before she figures out how to handle a skew chisel.

    Here's mine. We was in the shop all day and had to take a break

    I don't have a bench, so mine is a shop dog! Plus mine is a Siberian husky so he doesn't fit well on a bench!

    Congrats on the dog!

    And a big shout-out from Ozzy, who doesn't like me stacking tools on "his" table:

    Yoga class makes me feel like a total stud, mostly because I'm about as flexible as a 2x4.
    "Design"? Possibly. "Intelligent"? Sure doesn't look like it from this angle.

    Ozzy is a great looking pooch. it doesn't look like there's much room on the table for him to share!

    You're right about the snuggling, LOML has the edge there. Looks like your buddy is plum tuckered out.

    Jeff, A Siberian husky won't fit in my shop! They are wonderful dogs, but don't fare well in our South Carolina climate.

    Cheers,

    Thanks for the comments John. I run the pets out when the power equipment goes on, for my safety as well as theirs. This puppy is into everything, so it will be a while before she is a full-fledged bench dog with unsupervised shop privileges.

    Cheers,

    Hank

    Hank,
    Is your pooch shop broken yet? Meaning: Does he do the hand sanding and empty the dust collector? How does he get along with the Gorilla glue?
    cheers, Jeff
