Haven't posted in awhile re: my tools and shop. I have made progress and have shared that with a few LJ's. I have succeeded in getting through my electrical inspection and now have an approved box in the Cau Haus.

I ran metal conduit for my 220 single phase cabinet saw. Had some sticks of metal conduit from a project many years ago. Had to do some tricky(for me) bends and twists to get around ceiling joists and the metal gas pipe for the furnace. Of course I screwed it up! Brain function slows with age if it's not used in a particular area. Looked at some bend and tried to bend it on the floor. Backwards!

Good thing I had it inspected. Went to local Box Store and even checked out NEMA and still picked the wrong outlet! Eyes also diminish with age. I need glasses for close up! The electrical inspector was quite kind, as this was my third year..LOL! Been busy doing other things. he pointed out that I had chosen 110 plugs and outlet….GRRRR! Rewired my extension cord and the plug on the saw and the outlet. He put his stamp on the box! Sigh!

After that…looked around and found NO CLEAR SPACE TO WORK IN THE ENTIRE BUILDING!Set about to improve my safety, and create order. Built a floor to (low) ceiling shelf. It's plumb and level. Attached to support the floor joists for the second floor. Had to pour concrete footers to get the upright posts stable. Small pads take as long as knee walls!

Finished it last night. not square…but close enough…shelves. Started moving materials and tools onto the shelves. I have way too many gallons of exterior oil stain! Another story….

Will be cleaning up the benches and floors in the work area, after doing insurance billing for my psychology practice( I hate paperwork!)

And it's me and that piece of ash. It's sat for a long time in a dry space in winter for a few years now. I'm going to use a trick I learned from Charles Niel to remove them.

Hope to have some pictures and progress on an actual piece of furniture????? LOL

Thanks for following my babble.

babble , babble , babble some, keep on doing it and the shop will come…plenty of power to make the tools whine, the moving of hand planes, the sound is divine, were all standing by, waiting for this day, when doc will want to come out and play…....

Hopefully a few folks are paying attention. You're giving a lot of good information for others that are planning to put together a shop.

Jim, Grizz, Monty,

Thanks for your support gentlemen! As I said I'm a pretty fair carpenter.. like my grandfather said" I cut it off twice, and it was still too short".. And I've built a few homes in my past. I think of my self as a "Woodbutcher" wanting to be an artisan. Inching forward????

Wow Greg,

Did you read "woodbutcher?" LOL!

My little stool will be my starter, and I have read a bunch and watched the masters like yourself , Benji, Charles Neil, and krenov…with awe. I hope I just get a piece together that's not screwed up! LOL!

Back to insurance billing…can I hear a BOOOOOOO!

All good Tom. Don't be too precious about the clutter. Make it too tidy you won't know where anything is he he. I just got glasses for close up and I hate them. Fine if I don't move, but when I turn my head the whole world is on the sea! Stop beating yourself up re mistakes. "learning experiences" thats all they are.

Thanks Andy,

You must be around 40 years of age. Had perfect vision up 'til then. And the small print disappeared! I've got a lot of information from hundreds of books and videos from people like yourself.

Knowledge comes from making mistakes…That's why I am knowledgeable in many areas, just this is another area I've got to gain some experiential knowledge.

Like your marking sticks, which give the same mark every time.

Anxiously waiting for your first project Tom. I'm sure it will be noteworthy piece after all the preparation to get started. Imagine if we all live near each other….. Maybe we'll end up opening beers after just 10 minutes of helping you set up and continue on for a whole week. Hahaha Meanwhile…..Have fun setting up. Cheers Tom!

Thanks! I imagine you have some great beer choices…LOL! Nice to have the support of you talented band of brothers. Definitely intimidating too!

Yesterday…Spent 4 hrs making a small dent in all the accumulation of materials from all the years. Hey I found a bench under some of it! Oh yeah I can find places to walk as well! LOL!

Thanks Elaine,

Made some progress, a small dent, and I had a number of set backs. Know this happens to all of us. Will post some of "Lake woe is me" tomorrow. The drama continues…....

What is the status?

An update re: progress if it can be called that? The first picture is a somewhat organized chaos! I realized that I was in Hazzard County as my benches and the floor were filled with materials, tools and garbage. I decided that after the electric box was approved to go out and work on that "piece of ash." But I was unable to move.

The second picture is a slight evolution of progress? I actually put in about three of my shop DAZE getting materials and tools put on the floor to ceiling shelving I built, which took more time than I expected…OH DAH!

!https:/

The third picture, which should be the last in this sequence, is that ash that I had cut in two to work on the checks and splits that had developed. Found out why Charles Neil is always right…LOL! The piece was given to me as a sample. Its from the center of the log and near the first cut off the log. The piece split right where Charles said "it always splits and checks here." GRRR!

Wanted to do a butterfly, Nakashima style on the organic piece. Didn't have a mortising bit! Ordered one. When I put it into my porter cable plunge router and tried to use the bushing . It ate it up. Brass!
go figure????? Waiting on a Porter Cable bushing set.

The last three photos show why it took some time. I jacked up the second floor joists and set the posts to help support my second floor and plumb the support posts.

This is the floor to ceiling shelving that I built. 2 ft deep and 8 ft wide! I loaded it up and now have some organized chaos! The shelving took around 2 weeks with work and waiting for the concrete pads to set up. No level surfaces in my Cau Haus!

/storage.googleapis.com/aws-s3-lumberjocks-com/mmrkx6w.jpg!

Damn, even though they are small pads they took a week to set. This gave me a flat and level as well as strong base to set the posts.

I am now trying to get my plane blades sharpened, and my planes functional.. playing with my routers and the piece of ash!

Spring time is here. I missed my objective of having my jointer planer assembled as well as my floor drill press, which is still in a box under material in another room in the shop!

My old Victorian house is in need of maintenance she is 140 years old and has lots of character but she requires more energy than a normal house/ rebuilt THE BACK PORCH, ADDED INSULATED WINDOWS AND ADDITIONAL FRAMING. it's 80 % finished on inside and needs something to stay in character on the outside.

Another reason for my lack of follow through is I lost two more of my cats to Feline Leukemia this past month.

Three inches forward…two inches back.

Later my friends

Wanted to do a butterfly, Nakashima style on the organic piece. Didn't have a mortising bit! Ordered one. When I put it into my porter cable plunge router and tried to use the bushing . It ate it up. Brass!
go figure????? Waiting on a Porter Cable bushing set.

The last three photos show why it took some time. I jacked up the second floor joists and set the posts to help support my second floor and plumb the support posts.

This is the floor to ceiling shelving that I built. 2 ft deep and 8 ft wide! I loaded it up and now have some organized chaos! The shelving took around 2 weeks with work and waiting for the concrete pads to set up. No level surfaces in my Cau Haus!

Damn, even though they are small pads they took a week to set. This gave me a flat and level as well as strong base to set the posts.

I am now trying to get my plane blades sharpened, and my planes functional.. playing with my routers and the piece of ash!

Spring time is here. I missed my objective of having my jointer planer assembled as well as my floor drill press, which is still in a box under material in another room in the shop!

My old Victorian house is in need of maintenance she is 140 years old and has lots of character but she requires more energy than a normal house/ rebuilt THE BACK PORCH, ADDED INSULATED WINDOWS AND ADDITIONAL FRAMING. it's 80 % finished on inside and needs something to stay in character on the outside.

Another reason for my lack of follow through is I lost two more of my cats to Feline Leukemia this past month.

Three inches forward…two inches back.

Later my friends

The shops coming along very well .Keep on plugging the rest of it will still come together for you.

An update re: progress if it can be called that? The first picture is a somewhat organized chaos! I realized that I was in Hazzard County as my benches and the floor were filled with materials, tools and garbage. I decided that after the electric box was approved to go out and work on that "piece of ash." But I was unable to move.

The second picture is a slight evolution of progress? I actually put in about three of my shop DAZE getting materials and tools put on the floor to ceiling shelving I built, which took more time than I expected…OH DAH!
