It has been over two weeks since my last post. I have been forced to take a break from woodworking due to the extreme heat. I've been mostly taking it easy, I've floated the river a couple of times and it's been good for me to just keep cool. My shop temperature mid day is around 110 degrees, at night it's usually still holding at 100 degrees. Not a very safe temperature to be out there.
I have made some new editions to the shop in the time I've been away from it. I have purchased and installed a new metal tool stand for my table saw. This has eliminated the need for the portable folding stand that came with my table saw which was unstable and took up too much space. The new stand is sturdy and strong and has a small footprint. In a small shop like mine, space is valuable.
Besides the new table saw stand, I have purchased a sign maker's kit and a bench top router table. I am anxious to start using the sign makers kit as well as the new router table. I was really happy about the fact that I purchased both at an incredible price.
I'll focus on getting familiar with how these two things are set up before I get the chance to really go crazy with them.
Another thing I have to ad to my shop list is to get out and shop for wood for future projects. I'm completely out of hardwoods and have only a pieces of scrap softwood laying around. I also have to shop around for a good project to work on too. In the mean time, I'll patiently wait for it to get cooler outside.
