Hi Mick, thanks for the welcome.

Hi Michael,  I just used pine from lowes and a walnut stain, followed by polyurethane, then a gel stain then polyurethane

Michael , the tan building is my shop , it is 30 ' x 40' , 12' show and storage area and 28' x 30' shop area !  I put the big door in case I ever built a project to big to get out the little doors , HA   !!!  My garage is the blue building behind the picture of the light house on my page , that I built years ago . Thanks for the nice comments and hope you and your family are doing well , JIM

Wow jim thats some shop ,its all most the size of my back garden.Over here unless you live on a farm you would have to rent industrial units to get that size or be very wealthy have a great week jim.

Michael, thank you for the kind words regarding my work bench.  Coming from you - I feel honored!  I hope to talk to you soon.

Thanks for the welcome Michael!  We have some friends in the UK that ride 'Wings. As a matter of fact they will be over here in the States the end of the month for a visit/vacation.  Keep safe on the scooter!

Thanks Mick,

I have the Triton fence that came with the table, but it is difficult to use, some important parts are made of plastic and is the setting is easily moved during routing. So I bought a Kreg fence.

Hi Micheal, I looked all over the place and I can't find anything about corrin, but I would like to pick your brain about selling pens, I have a brother inlaw and a nephew that are real geeks and I was thinking about having my wife sell pens online. My e-mail is arevee1@aol.com I would really be gratfull for any insight.

Good to hear from you, Mick!  I too have a 24 year-old son.  Say, go have a pleasant holiday, Mick - you deserve it.

Mick, I certainly hope it doesn't come to that,  but it might survive.

Ha, I don't know so much about my masterpieces. I did finish my storage rack project and it turned out pretty handy, but it is far from a masterpiece. How have you been? Well, I hope. Have you started any new projects, yet?

These guys are just like children to my wife and I. My German Sheppard is my third one in all the years past. They are very loyal and well mannered souls, as you well know.

Hi Mick I will get round to the floor once I stop the water coming in the front door. I need to dig a 4" wide trench through the concrete of the drive and make a soakaway. Once the weather gets better around springtime I'll probably tackle in then I can do as you suggest and put a proper floor in. Good idea to keep in touch and swap ideas.

Thanks Mick That's just what I'll need. I'll give you a shout if I get stuck. 

Mick, I think all sheppards have hip problems. We give him glucosimine tablets and it seems to help. Mainly, we just baby him to death. He is is very well tempered.

Hi Michael  - That's exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks Derek

Thank You I am eager to learn. I will be uploading some of my latest creations soon

Hi Mick,

Thanks for the welcome message - will do

  Hi, Mick.

 Thank you for the comment on my Shed/Shop. I recycled most of my wood from my old 10x12 shed in this bigger one. Most of the walls were built with the recycle 2x4s from the old shed. The only thing that has new materials is the roof and the clearstory window wall and the 11 foot long part of the south wall. That part is pictured in the 8x8 beam picture of the straight wall on the backside of 24 foot long south wall. I will probably do a tour by side show when I finish the Shed/Shop hopefully this coming summer.

Hi Mike:

Just ordered my Festool MFT top for my Kreg Universal Workbench.  Think I'm gonna try making some miter saw wings for my Kapex that will attach to the Crown Stop Extensions I also ordered.  Similar to what Dave Reinhold did if you've seen his video/pics of that project.  Will post a pic when finished!

Hi Mick, thanks for  letting me know , and all is good here also , JIM !!

Hi Mick, thanks again for letting me know all is well except the internet, we will have a long chat in FEB. and catch up on new,s JIM !!

Hey Mick, great to always hear from you! Sorry that it took me soo long to get back to you. This project led me into skills that I had never attempted before. The internet and woodworking magazines really help with technique. It took me a few months from start to finish on this one (I think LIFE got in the way!).

It's been a while since I've logged-in! I'll have to catch up and see what YOU'VE been putting together since we've talked. I know that you are never idle!

Stay Cool!

Thanks for the compliment Michael - the finish is a sprayed clear satin reaction lacquer - 3 coats.  

Michael, I do have a work shop.....I just built it last year. It's 20' x 20'work%20shop%20day%20365.jpg
