"Weekend Doin's"

[Karl Laustrup]

Friday July 14th, 2006

Another Friday. Mid summer. Days are already getting shorter.

Not much on my agenda as it's supposed to be mid 90's with humidity to match, so I'm just going to try and figure out where "IT" goes. I've got my wind sock and sun dial to help with directions.

So, what's on the table for this weekend. Fun, games, work, play or.......

Whatever it may be make it a safe weekend.

P.S. Ken.....KEN!!! Shut off the lathe, come out of the shop and clean the house. And do the dishes while you're at it.

Darn near 98F here, and the humidity is nearly as high!

I hate this time of year, even some wind would be nice

The Dungeon is nice and cool, but I won't get much time down there....

Have to do some work on one of our rental apts, all outside, in the heat...yuck...

Have a good one guys!

Headed to the Harrisburg Senators baseball game with another family tonight.

Tomorrow will be a bit of shop time very early (hope to make a bit of progress on the lumber rack), and then yard work/watch the kids while SWMBO goes to a Cub Scout Day Camp Meeting.

THEN, our church is hosting an FFH concert (http://www.ffh.net/) as the first in a series in York County by First Step Productions.

Sunday, will be Church and rest (maybe I can sneak in a bi of shop time there).

Have a safe weekend everyone!

Tonight is my 15 year high school reunion. The rest of the weekend I will be finishing up installing the sump pump in my shop, then cleaning up the shop. and making a dust hood for the lathe for sanding. Thinking about going to an antique tractor show which would be fun, but its going to be very hot here too.

We're headed to the beach (Kitty Hawk NC). It's way to hot and humid for me to work in shop for free. Sweat and saw dust don"t mix for me. I can't wait for a frost.

I plan on finishing the Shaker Console Table I am building for my wife. Hope to get pictures on SMC by Sunday or early in the week. Need to clean out the Smoker from last weeks Rib Barbecuing and mow the lawn. Temperatures here in the high 90's so all of this has to happen early in the day.

May begin a Penn style kitchen hutch this weekend. I have had the curly maple in my shop aclimating for about 3-4 months now.

And the everlasting workbench project continues....

Plan on hiding out in the shop for the weekend to hide from the heat.
It stays nice in cool in the shop as long as the doors and windows remain closed.
I plan on roughing out a few more cherry and maple burls for turning and carved out bowls.

I'm working on my workbench (getting the trestle legs finished and start the top), then building a golf caddy....

[Kyle Kraft]

I get to move all my equipment to the storage side of my shop building so they can strip and repaint my shop floor due to a botched paint job last year.
