Good deal. Thanks for posting.

When i was still in the trade I was either doing aircraft or medical grade work. The most stressful was the aircraft since the tolerances were so tight and there was zero room for error. More often than not we would be working on small lots of 1-3 pieces with a part that was already allocated for setup and usually that part was so screwed up you couldn't use it for verification purposes.
I then moved into the medical sector where we specialized in artificial knees, hip replacements along with spinal implants. That was the most rewarding since you knew that the parts you were making would ultimately help someone get healthy.

Cool video but a little misleading.
As someone who worked in the machining industry for 15 years. The trade is lot more than just loading material in the fixture hitting the button and getting a useable part once the cycle is completed, Depending on the industry you're working on. The tolerances that you're being held too could be as tight as +/- .0005. (That's the diameter of a human hair being split into 4 sections).
You're constantly changing tooling, adjusting offsets and cutter comps all the while your shop manager is telling you not to screw up since that job could make/break payroll that week. I remember working on a part for a turbine assembly that was made of iconel and before it even came to me it had $50k of machining work done on it.
So the bald eagle is cool, but since really it's just a decoration and no real tolerances are being held to it,

Used my 20V Porter Cable 1/2" drill and a wire wheel to clean up the detached sole from my snowmobile boots so I could re-silicone them, Leaving tomorrow morning!

Mine came in yesterday as well. Many thanks to Dan, Eric and Klein. Can't wait to try them out!

My first thought was of this. Since the bins are a good size and removeable, Depending on the size, you could put them right in.

That sucks Mike. We got pinched right before Thanksgiving. Just a huge effin headache to deal with this crap.

Thanks everyone.
Yes, it's starting to take shape finally. Doesn't seem like I've been working on it for 2 months.
Going to try to get the floor down this weekend. I was planning my first snowmobiling trip for this weekend, but the way the weather has been in the northeast, it's not happening.

Based on the current mess of tools in my entry way. I would say about all of them. Every time I think I'm done with a tool and put it back in the garage I find myself pulling it back out of retirement. lol

Great work.
I hope that bed frame comes apart. Maybe tough getting through a standard door opening.

I immediately thought of Primus

Nice price!

Throw some steel plate over it and call it good.
Wow, that just sucks. I would hate to be the person that lives on one side of the river but works on the other side. What the hell do you do?

Nice work!

Making progress over the weekend.
Used the Porter Cable 20V Oscillating tool to remove the tar paper / felt from the floor on Saturday.That task absolutely sucked. Sitting on the floor for a couple of hours and then getting up was tough. My hips were killing me. lol
Once that was done, I put down 1/4' HardiBacker board down in preparation for the tile floor. Also put up the lighting that my wife had picked out. Looks pretty good, Just need to work on tweaking the aiming of the heads once we get the table in there. Working in there gave me a opportunity to try out the Bluetooth speaker that I got for Christmas. That little speaker is awesome and it has about 3 hours of run time.

You have 2 options. You can go with an electric version of get a propane one and then just get a bottle placed somewhere on your property and set it up.

This reminds me that I need to flush my Takagi tankless.
Best thing I ever did was purchasing this for my house. I love it.

I would send Eric and Dan to counseling.

Dan needs to 3D Print this.

Dealing with my boss who works in Florida while I'm in the northeast who has no idea of what I actually do in day. But yet finds ways to critique me in time management.
