HAHA!

Yeah The Missus is still in Florida, enjoying the company of her sister and the sunshine. Meanwhile back at the ranch, I been working my tail off welding this, and grinding that and painting and sanding and man, you name it. I been up 'til the wee hours working. I just can't sleep when there is a full moon coming.

So I'm doing all the crazy weird stuff I been putting off all year. Basically its just shop stuff, like making a new bench. I like to work over a central bench in my shop. Its nice to be able to walk around it. I'm basically rebuilding the one I have, which has a nice 2" laminated top. The top is fine, but the legs are rickety. I hate that when I'm polishing or filing. Well they won't be rickety much longer. I welded-up a nice substructure for the top, made of 2" square tubing for the legs and 1" square for the legs. The legs will have adjustable 1200lb-rated level-mounts too.

While I'm at it, I'll toss a couple coats of clear poly on the benchtop and call it good. I'll post pics a little later this week when it all goes back together.

Thanks for reading all this drivel. Anyone else affected by the full moon?
 
not as much as you but if you finish your work before the moon is gone stop on by and build me a bench too!! feels good to get things out of the way that you've been meaning to do huh? have fun man

The crazy part is, I wouldn't mind meeting another dirty hippy like me! :D

How's the wather down there in VA? We just got 5" snow up here.
 
The sun is a shining bright and it's actually not too cold. i guess we'll get up in the mid 40's today. I love the snow but I'm so ready for warm weather I could just spit.
 
LOL mid-40s! I'd be outside in my t-shirt kicking the ball around for the dog if we had that up here.
