Shop

I am whupped. This weekend was spent mostly in the garage. There are new shelves on the walls replacing the craptacular free standing metal and MDF shelving I had before. It’s wire shelving that has standards which hang from a top rail like the Elfa stuff they sell at the container store though it has a different brand name. I wonder if it’s actually the same stuff. I still need two more shelves since the Home Depot was running low when I was there but I already have most of the stuff off the floor which was the goal. The table saw is now on its new rolling platform parked neatly under the hanging shelves which is very nice. It took me an hour and a half to put the “mobile base” together though, mostly due to the fact that math is hard.

The jointer came from Amazon on Thursday and I put that together this afternoon. I think it may actually be heavier than the table saw. It works well though so I’m looking forward to the start of the cabinet building. Of course I didn’t actually manage to do any actual woodworking this weekend with all of the shelving, organizing, cleaning and construction. Maybe next weekend. Also, I have six cans of WD-40. I think I’m set on that for the rest of my life.
