What's one interesting fact about you, your life, your garage, shop, or home?
I have finally gotten my first shop; a 656 sq.ft. detached garage that's all my own as the house has an attached garage for my wife's car. As with most shops, it's a work in progress, but I think I'll eventually get there.

Good morrow, john i know what you mean about taking on large projects.When i was younger i would take on most challenges.I even moved a large painting measureing 20feetx15 for work,[it was titled the rape of the sabine women]The painting belonged to oxford city council and was valued at quarter of a million pound.Had to be moved so refurbishment work could be done on the civic hall.We got it on the ground and i used my sons skateboards to move the painting out of harms way.Afterwards my boss said did i mention that the painting was worth a quarter of a mill[gulp].

Hi MIchael,

No sun cream, it's 38 degrees right now and we had some snow/sleet/freezing rain last night. While it's all melted off now, it played hell on my drive home from work this morning.

As far as the gazebo goes, I had someone come in and build it. While I haven't enjoyed a beer out there yet, I've enjoyed many here in my garage watching someone else put it together professionally. I'm getting too old to make projects that big.

Hi john hows it going,guess your slapping on the suntan cream?I am slapping on the thermal underwear[not a pretty sight]haha.Loved the pergola/ arbor john beautiful,i can just see you sat there with a beer.The great thing about woodwork it makes us use are brains to figure things out,and when you only got one brain cell left like me its more than a challenge haha.Await too see photos of your first project john,meantime don/t get sun stroke and i will  try not to freeze. Take care.

Sorry to hear that john,keep remembering the good times.Memories is what makes us what we are.When my wifes sister passed away at the age of 30 i went out in my little shop and made this big pergola/arbor to go in her mothers garden.She loved her garden, and for me it was a labour of love.Here s a English saying john [tickety boo]= all good .Go steady john.

Product Reviews

New Kreg 720Pro
