That is one smart dog to lure someone over that way! must play rough. I have a chocolate that is nothing but sweetness. Only thing that is more accurate is the beware of wigglebutts!

Nice work area. Is that a mini press in the background? How is that to use, I mean easy to drill pilot holes?
-
Thank you!

Finished organizing everything in the garage today and made the last trips of moving things. AC unit installed, water in fridge so time to start making sawdust. so back to what I love to do. Cut wood about my sweet chocolate love (chocolate lab) and let the AC flow. BTW, it is cut 1/4 walnut, dipped in Teak oil and finishing wax to top it off. Used a Flying Dutchman Ultra reverse #3.

I was not intending to share photos, which is why they are like they are, but here they are. Thanks again all.

I have what you do except no router table yet and my table saw is a contractor cabinet type. I have to wheel it out to use. More importantly, I have a miter saw stand and miter saw together. I just have to move it to use it. Better than trying to lug a 56 pound saw from a closet and into the garage. Thanks for the comments.

Thank you all. Update...new shed delivered Monday, cleaned out old one and yesterday, ran another electric plug and rolled in the scroll saw. today, lay rubber mats down to ease the feet and hopefully, move workbench in. Can only do a little at a time after work and of course, the hottest part of the day. Thanks again for all.

That is a good idea. Once I clean it out, I have to install yet another power plug on the back wall. Can’t have too many plugs!

I have had that happen to me once or twice. The ways I get around it is either finishing wax on the table to the point it is smoother than a babies bottom or what I have done on the cast iron table saw when I didn’t have finishing wax is to use pledge spray. Same results.

Thank you all for your inputs. The floor is plywood, but just replaced outdoor rubber mats/fake brick with real brick and I tend to use them to soften the floor. I already have LED light bulbs in sockets. Maybe upgrade at a later time. besides scrolling stuff, I have an ancient delta cabinet style table saw with a cast iron top. I just replaced the motor so it should last another thirty years. Other than that, just a miter saw stand and I am looking forward to not lugging around a Dewalt miter saw that weights more than a baby elephant. I think the next thing will be a dust collection system. The AC will be drawing air from outside, but blowing it around in theory on the inside. If I keep it off, I can stay on my weight management of sweating 10 pounds a day out. Thanks again for all the comments.

The War Dept (my wife) brought up a good point about two months ago and suggested we get another shed for storage and I take the 12x16 shed and make it into a workshop. I know I will still have some storage area, but trying to get an idea of what would be best in there, hence I turn here. My wife had to bring home a small fridge from work and cant use it anymore, so I have a fridge. I put some vents in to help with the South Carolina heat. Pretty sure a co-worker talked me into mounting a window AC in a back wall. Only thing I can think of might be a dust collection system. Am I missing anything else or any suggestions?

I release mine just because it is a habit to do things like this. Just try to take care of the equipment.
-
good work! gives me an idea...

There were times at work where our song of the month was “everything seems to fall apart”. So I know what you mean.

@amazingkevin, Your not fooling me. I have seen your work and even if you lose 50% of your ability, your still better than many, myself included. Once you cut a forest, it will come back to you.

Welcome to the SSV nation. You will learn as much as you want on this site. I have only scrolled for ten months and the improvement I have made in this time is in no small part without these people. The knowledge here is mind blowing...in fact, pull yourself socks up tight because once they are blown off, can’t revoke them... (Sheldon Cooper).

Oh how I wish I had the space like you too...
-
After reading the comments, I have nothing else to add other than more passes. I have had to learn to make more passes myself.
-
Thank you all for the comments and yes, it was hard to work on, but I know the benefits it will bring.

The last two weeks have been horrible as there was an accident at work. I lost a fellow coworker whom I only known for a few months, but could tell he was special. So I have braved the South Carolina heat and my garage to make a few things in his honor. I thought I would share with the SSV nation my grief/healing.

I would suggest the first step is to lube the bearings on t. I know that probably wont fix your problem, but will prevent further problems. You would also be able to see if there is a short in the wiring due to dust. Just a thought.

What tips/tricks have you learned this year?
Fedido replied to Fedido's topic in General Scroll Sawing
I built 20 birdhouses so some orphans can paint them. Found measurements online and about halfway through, realized a better way to assemble. As long as the kids have fun, that is all that matters. -
It seems to be a little slow in the village, so I was wondering what everyone has learned or relearned this year that has really helped you. I guess mine would be upgrading from a 13 inch craftsman saw that was built when I was still in High school to a Dewalt 20 in that was built before this millennium. What a difference it makes! So glad I made that purchase. What is yours?

I saw those videos that last hours, but I also know my attention squirrel!!!! What were we talking about?
