Creeker's Weekend Accomplishments....

[Maurice Metzger]

I had a great weekend, but due to rain I only spent about 30 minutes on woodworking. I cut some dovetail tails, and that was about it.

I can see I need to make a mini-bench for indoor use.

I had fun tearing out a shower-surround in our master bath and putting plaster on the walls where the old glue tore off the paper from the sheetrock. Of course, after I skin coated the paper, it started releasing from the other paper, so I tore off the wet and newly skim-coated paper and got down to more brown paper. Probably water damage due to the cracked surround that I removed....

Like the man said, nothing is as easy as it should be!

I did at least spend the time waiting on the new plaster to dry to finish a few of these jewelry boxes that I had been working on. I really like the organic shape. I've made some jigs to help with the cutting of the tops on the router table. Got tired of having tops thrown back at me!

Top 3 pics are Cherry Tops with Maple bottom and last 2 are Zerbra Tops Wood with Maple Bottom.

Well my G0490 arrived Thursday, but it was Saturday before I could start to move it to my basement shop. I got the base and the lighter items moved down. I had to wait until to Sunday to get the rest down. Then I began to assemble. I still need to finish hooking up duct work and also need to get a 220v plug. I headed to Toronto today, so I decided to spend the rest of the time with family.

I got some good, quality shop time. Saturday I finished cutting out the pieces for a wall clock. (Seems like i'm making a career out of one project ) Sunday I made some ZCI for the table saw, then cleaned up the shop a bit. Finally, an old friend stopped buy to watch the race.

All in all, a great week-end!!!!!!!

Spent all day Saturday on doing the final touches for the workbench before finishing. Sunday had family stuff and only did some planing on other projects.

Got only a little time in the shop this weekend. I spent it moving some turning stock upstairs to the new shelving, making a small band-saw box "the hard way" with a 1/2" blade (pics later) and stripping the finish from a turned box from awhile ago that I screwed up royally.

FYI, I wrote to micro jig to complain that I couldn't get just the inserts for their splitter (they aren't listed on their website), and I got this response from micro jig.

The 1/8” MJ Splitter insert is available for $6.95 per set (includes both A & B splitter inserts). Please call us to order.<o></o>
