Thread: What are you working on?

All looks good, fellas. Just waiting to get past the 4th of July. After that, things should slow down at work to where I might have a bit of energy for some needed scale making. I cut the slabs early spring, then it got warm, and the crapola hit the fan.

Cutting the grass every two ta three days, then the gutters plugged up, then that, and this, ...never ends it seems, like dominos. The 4th will bring are largest gathering of sellers to our local flea market, I usually make a killing on cheap finds. So that'll stock me up for winter, if all goes well. Like I need more....yes...more.!!!

Here is the final on the Box of Rocks. Thanks to Oldblades for making the sign for me a year ago. I pinned it to the drawer front just to be special. Got the spacers in behind the stones so that they are now all pushed in to the back and stand out 1/4 inch past the edge. Easier to grab. Cut up kitchen rug lining the slots and trim on the front to make it look nicer.

It was a real PITA to get the 4 drawers attached to 1 drawer front! Took a few trys but it slides out smoothly with no binding. I amaze myself sometimes.

THAT is Beeutiful!




I am SO messy with my hones!

Tom, You probably got more of them that I. As I've said before, I'm one of those guys that like to have a place for everything and everything in its place. Roy hates me for it. Ha. Do damn organized and neat. Thank god the wife is the same.

Thanks for the LIKES Gentlemen.

Jerry....Here are my hones (among'st other stuff! )
My 4/8 Norton is banished to a plastic pond under the desk!



That's it, except for some barber-hones....

I wish I could be that organized Jerry. I like having a nice workspace, but my apartment is a wreck. Most of my razor honing and repair stuff is in diaper boxes under my bed.

I managed to get all my repair/restore stuff into one of those old red metal tool boxes. Problem is that the handle is riveted onto the hinged lid and everything is carried by the handle. It’s all held closed by a single latch. I worry that one day I’m going to pick it up and everything will tumble out.

On the other hand, it does limit what I buy since it all has to fit into the box

I did that to start, then one day I went to pick it up...and walked half way around the box which was way heavier than expected and it did not move!

Nice storage box Jerry.
Like the plaque particularly.
Nice details.

Hey Jerry - nice set up! I'm curious as to why someone would need that many stones? I'm not trying to be a wise-ass, I'm just curious. I own two stones and one plate of bubble glass. That's why I'm asking???
