Shop cleanup phase one

[Mike Davis]

Tim came over this morning and we moved a lot of stuff around. He took a half truckload home and I have a big bag for the dump.

That looks a lot better than when I was there for the sharpening instructions. I wish I was not 2.5 hours out or I could have helped as well. I kind if enjoy sorting and organizing. I did that in my chiropractors shop. It lasted a few weeks until he bought more tools.

That’s good progress Mike!

Had a great time with Mike. I got some great smelling firewood for the fire pit and a few scraps that I think I can use.

We moved a few pieces of wood around and cut some more.

I find that sometimes it's just easier to get a little bit done when there's a second set of hands. Even if half the time is spent talking more than working.

Glad I could help Mike. Looking forward to phase 2

Good progress!

Just curious when the last time that garage door was actually opened?

 

[Mike Davis]

Has to be at least ten years.

Some oldies but goodies in there! Pentair era Delta 34-444 Contractor's saw.
The original Delta 22-540 planer?
Love the Columbia vise!
Someone else who uses cabinetmaker's hand-screws!

Yep, why replace perfectly good tools? Those hand screws have saved several projects when nothing else would do.

My saw has been upgraded a few times. Had to do a complete overhaul after it sat in the barn a few years. Then someone gave or sold me a set of cast iron side extensions to replace the original stamped metal ones. Then I got some longer rip fence rails. I have a set of square rails and bigger/wider rip fence but haven’t found time to install yet.

The 22-540 planer will be for sale after I find time to go through it and install a new set of knives.

A fresh set of eyes is really helpful. We all tend to just get used to things the way they are. I applaud you for reaching out. Organizing the wood is the hardest thing for many of us with limited space. The stacks grow, then shrink, then grow again. The constant changes make it hard to keep up with.

this is very true for me, sometimes I just need another person there to help make the decisions of to keep / throw / sale or where to put something!

Any stuff to give away at the picnic? I’ve been cleaning out my shop and a storage building the last few weeks. Found stuff for giveaways at the picnic. Maybe we can have an area for that kind of stuff.

I should have some things, if nobody wants they can go in the dumpster.

There is usually stuff to sell or give away at the picnic. They get set on the grass just outside of the shelter. Be sure to tag the stuff with your name and price.
