Late night jibber jabber

In.
I’ve been a night owl my entire life.
It’s not that I don’t like sunlight; I just prefer the peaceful tranquility the nite provides.

I’ve led a fairly boring worklife, so I won’t get into that…
Long story short, I’d do things differently next go around. ;-)

Woodworking has taken primary passion in my life, but my other passion, video games, fights to regain the crown often. :-)

Just consoles for me (PS3 and PS4), though I might build a steambox/htpc pretty soon. There’s some pc exclusives I’ve been wanting to try.

What’s your shop like?

And since you’re a renovation guy, mind if I pick your brain regarding a detached garage on pillars?
It’s leaning because the rear right pillar (from the front) is leaning back a bit. I was thinking to jack that corner up, dig a bit and build a stabilizing wall out of concrete filled cinder blocks with some rebar in there for good measure.

I have an 800 sq ft detached garage. And right now it’s a mess. Lol. Pick my brain all u want. Sounds like it should work. Careful jacking though. If the structure is leaning bad it might be an issue. Have any pics?

Hey guys southern indiana here. Commercial diver underwater welder and journeyman sheet metal worker. Wood working is suspose to be a hobby for me but my inlaws keep getting me customers. Our weather here is getting nice so finally some shop time. I’m also restoring a 69 datsun roadster but with the full job list she has just been sitting for the last 6 years.

Lloyd I like u already. I’m a NYS certified structural welder myself. I don’t use it often anymore but still love it. I’m also a crazy Datsun fan. Big fan of the Z car until the 2nd gen 300zx. Owned a few since I was a teen. How’d you get into underwater welding? That has always fascinated me

Well I flew night express freight for over 30 years, now that I’m retired I have insomnia. I am up at all hours of the night, so you never know when I will be on. I have have always been interested in woodworking and have done minor projects over the years. My arthritis has finally gotten so bad I can’t play golf anymore, so last summer I bought some better machines and startled getting more into woodworking.

I am still what I consider a total novice but I am learning as much as I can. I have a lot of projects in mind, but as this is a hobby and due to my arthritis I can’t work very long at each session, it will take a while to finish each project.

Hi Greg part time night owl working now in queens but live in long island .

Still here. :-)

What’s keeping me up now is the impending arrival of my new table saw (steel city 35950), hoping it doesn’t show up on wednesday or thursday (MORE crappy weather), and designing a torsion box assembly/outfeed table for it.

I’m so ready for spring…

I’m usually up late. The site dies by 11 PM Pacific. I’m nearly retired, not working much. More of a wannabe WW at this point. I will be glad to get all the business material out of the garage and get ready for more WW ;-))
