I turned 70 years old at 8:30 this morning (US Central Time). Feels pretty good even though I won't catch up to TOS.

Happy B-Day Fred! I'm playing around with some stainless Spidercos. Nice to cut. I'll have to post one as they come off the block.

I'm carving on a William Henry knife with stainless steel scales, shibuichi inlay. Next up, some gold inlay.
And Happy Birthday, Fred!

Abigail and I have just completed our garage-to-studio makeover. Just finished today, although there are still a few things yet to be done.

Wow Sam, that's Purdy!
But you can tell it's new - it's still so shiny clean and neat.

At the time I put in my drill press stand setup, my wife would not allow me bolt it to the floor...
It is hardwood that is covered with plywood and then linoleum to protect it from shop "accidents". Fires, explosions and the like
In case the place goes up for sale someday, it can be easily stripped back to the hardwood.
Anyway, the bench with all the tools in/on it probably weighs well over 500 pounds.
So I made a collar to fit the top of the pipe and mounted it underneath the bench.
Then cut the pipe to be about 1/8" taller than would clear the bench.
Used a couple hydraulic jacks to lift the bench, put the pipe into position under the socket, and lowered the bench down onto it.
No vibration at all, no bolts in the floor. Kept peace in the family for a while longer...

I don't see any space left for the lathe & milling machine?
Or the drill press, sanders, grinders and other required toys...
Other than that little oversight, it will do... quite well, AND it looks purty into the bargain.

The curtains covering the garage door are made from painter's drop cloths, and we made the curtain rods from black iron pipe.
