Good idea as the next generation just might not have an appreciation for wood and toss it into the burn pile. ;)

Went up to the garage and stared at the Bug for awhile but it was too cold to do that for long.
Came back down and decided that watching an old sci-fi movie on HDTV was a much better idea. :cool: |

i made some more progress on my floor project in my old car.slow going but progress.i orderedand waiting for a new bigger bead roller with a deeper throat to allow me to make the next panels,now that i'm passed the front seat area and the big "X" in the middle of the frame right under the seat and ordered some more clecos.i'm hoping to make the complete floor,held in place with clecos before i start to do any welding,in case there's revisions to make.

That looks awesome. Can't wait to see how it turns out. Did you order a powered bead roller with forward and reverse?

That stuff gets under my skin. That dealer probably doesn't keep that in stock, just orders one when requested. I always figured the investment in warehouse and inventory are what justify middleman profit.

Pic of the curly birch coat rack I built. It had tear-out about 1/16" deep. Good thing I have a drum sander. There is no way I'd've taken off that much material by hand, and the planer would just tear out more of the wood. That stuff is hard as rock. Love that figure, though!

When I had my JD2 tubing bender I welded a 4x4 tube to an old wheel/tire combo as a mount. |

Holy smokes! 5 Horsepower? I hope you get a good price for it. You don't even need a planer with a mawnster like that.

It’s a big unit but the guy down the street has one and a 25” inch planer . I don’t need a planer that big but the sander works nice on glue ups. Grizzly is cheaper than Amazon even with shipping

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Not a bad price at all! For glue ups, I made a sled for a router using aluminum angle and a 2' X 4' piece of MDF. I obviously don't make big stuff like your kitchen counter with it. :lol: I wouldn't have used it for the coat rack I posted; the router would blow chunks out of the boards, same as a planer.
