Lol!! No employee’s needed here…. Just admiring the projects you do. You’re a busy man. I’m busy enough teaching Josh, for him to take the reigns one day. He’s doing a super job taking it all in. Proud Dad!!😎

He’ll  do well. Has a great teacher.

How lucky are we to get to work with and teach our sons. Watching my Son work at the course this summer let me know just how much he’s picked up from me over the years. Best part was, he taught me how to work on a golf course.

As I usually do when I move into the shop in the fall, I’ve been making improvements and adjustments. Today I put a zero clearance fence and insert on the mitre saw. It’s way safer for cutting the small pieces I do making toys and such. I kind of enjoy having 10 digits to count with.



Made that little sliding stop for the fence as well. I don’t use stops often. They can be dangerous. But sometimes they’re handy.

Also made a mini router table for my trim router..




I ease the edges on a lot of small pieces and get frustrated running back and forth to the garage in the cold and snow. I keep he table saw and router table out there for lack of room now. The little table will do 90% of what I want it to. Still pondering a fence and chip collection. Might insulate it for noise as well. It’s a loud little bugger when attached to the table. Kind of an echo chamber I think.

Next up is improving the fence on my band saw.

Getting down to Christmas present time.

Happy to know you.

Bob, your trim router table looks great. I'm thinking about asking Santa for a trim router. Is that Corian on the top ?

Thanks! The top is an $8 poly cutting board from Walmart. Great surface ….parts glide over it nicely. My trim router is one I picked up when I was working at lowes it was a display and had a broken base. Got it for $10. Spent another $20 for a new base. The newer 611 is a way nicer router. For my 3 hp router I use a Bosch. But if I bought another it would be the Dewalt  611  compact  with the plunge base. For about $170 you get a lot of bang for the buck.

Just my thoughts for your letter  to the North Pole.

36…rain, huge snow flakes and windy out there.

What a great idea I had putting the “lLittle Wood Shop” together.

Spent most of the morning getting the disc sanding setup finished on the lathe.




Dust collection was a huge concern, but I conquered the problem. Test sanding left no visible dust at all.

Also made two more discs for the lathe for different grit papers. Greatly improved my capabilities with 5 different discs and a variable speed sanding system. All made from scrap wood my neighbor gave me. Except the Baltic birch plywood discs. Got those at Lowes. ( as much as I really hated to)



Then I made what is probably the silliest thing I’ve ever made in the wood shop.

Saw these somewhere and thought it was a great use of a whole bunch of 2x4 cutoffs my neighbor gave me. Laughed like hell when I got it assembled. Guess that makes it worth the effort.
