Bench maintenance today. Flattened the top of the bench (it had cupped a bit), removed the face vice for some maintenance, and put some herbal oil on it.
I may need to mix up some epoxy and sawdust and fill some errant drill-bit holes that I am ashamed of. 😟🤭

I love woodworking not because of the great things that are created any more than the humbling ones.
I made this chair and I love it. Every time I look down at the handle I see an errant cut with a hand plane that I overlooked.
Humility.

Chop saw station up and running. Next the split for the router table and the drop for the small tools. That might wait for another day as I'm short on mounting options.

So it begins. I don't have much dust collection in my shop but I do have some. Today marks the first stage of upgrading from just a hose and collection system to one with a manifold.
Step 1: hard plumb the collector to the chip separator.

From a somewhat suggestive sketch (get your mind out of the gutter: we're running out of room.) on some cherry to the finished product. Handle replacement on an old saw.

Die Hard is a Christmas Movie. It is a literal interpretation of the feeling of trying to survive a holiday party as an introvert.
You're just trying to survive the night when some extrovert with big ideas holds the party hostage and you get emotionally bloodied and bruised just trying to go home.

Driving around in the snow squalls with Unmarked Helicopters playing uncomfortably loud on repeat on the radio just feels right.

Got out an old friend today. This Stanley No 8 can flatten a panel in short order. I absolutely love this beast of a plane.

Finishing the cherry table with #woodwax requires time for the wax to harden. Four to six days for a soft set: a month for a hard set.
Heat can help a lot. So here's my tarp envelope and space heaters on low.

Finally got around to stripping the poly off the cherry dining room table. We've been eating off that for 8 years but it had a few soft spots.
Stripped it with BlueBear 605, which worked wonders. Then sanded and applied a coat of Herbal Oil from #bioshield.
Next step are coats of wax.

There is nothing more disappointing than pulling bacon out of the fridge for a burger only to discover that you inadvertently bought maple flavor.

The last coat of Black Iron milk paint over three coats of barn red.
Sanded vigorously with red Scotch Brite pad between coats to burnish the surface.
Tomorrow is the last sanding, then onto the oil applications.
Done by Sunday evening.

I was up in the middle of the night last night and found myself pondering as I stared out the window at the few cars passing by.
I couldn't help but think about those people, on their way to work or the airport, or whatever else. (Continued)
