Stayed home, made lunch-- my brother cooked the rice. Made dinner, put away leftovers. Still feel like garbage. I'm ready to get some sleep. Time to take meds in about an hour & a half though. I can only take the mucinex once every 12 hours. Hope everyone is doing ok. I'm still worried about Gary from the houserepairtalk forum. Haven't heard from him in ages.
 
Finally got the guts to put some Formica on a small router table I've been working on for a year and a half or so. Takes me forever and a week to make decisions on how long, how wide, how thick... where to center the router lift .
Plus, where to install the tracks to clamp down the fence and feather boards, or if I need a miter slot.
I got the Formica glued on now, so what next?
 
Wonder if Nick got to play there??
Still miss him
Let's pretend he did and we all chipped in for plane fare and lodging. It's 25 miles south of me. I've never even seen the parking lot. 's' There are 5 or ,6 courses including the owners personal course.
I'd bet every golfer in the world that you can name has been here more than once. It's a major course. We see Lear jets passing overhead on a regular basis.
 
I got the Formica on my table today after being sure it was absolutely flat. Flat is #1 on a router table. Guys on a router forum want me to add more thickness to my table. Those guys want 2 or 3 layers of MDF or melamine.
Mine is just a single layer of 3/4"AC plywood, but I made a base for the plywood out of 1 by 2 steel box tubing so it wouldn't warp and to avoid multiple layers of 3/4" material.

I discovered an old miter gauge that I made from brass stock..... 30 years ago? :ghostly:
I made the brass part and machined the degree wheel smaller for another project.
I cleaned up quickly with some Ospho...... Needs some black paint a little brass polish and I'm good to go. Wahoo, that was cheap.

Last year when I needed dust masks, I must have bought some N95 masks. Fortunately i found it hanging under the plain masks in the garage. Hate wearing it but it’s necessary. Got nitrile gloves too. So I can go out. I think we have 700 infected and 20 deaths. Lancaster county population is around 600k with 50k in Lancaster city proper. Lots of small developments around.
You can buy seeds, just not through a nursery. Grocery store hardware is fine. Bought some this morning matter of fact. There is so much BS being said without merit. Just like can't mow your lawn, you can mow your own lawn just not use a lawn service. They are trying to get it where people are close to one another. The real killer is NO to golfing. Some people are really up in the air over that, but like the gov says it takes approximately 7-8 people to handle one golfer before it is over and then they aren't staying the 6 ft apart that is required. They don't understand staying apart. You wait who will scream the loudest if one of them or their kids come down with the virus. I guess the oppenants of all this are trying to get a march on Lansing on Weds. Hope they get arrested actually.
At the time this is just in affect until April 30 and then we'll see if it gets extended, probably will as we are the 5th highest state with the virus.
what kind of seed do you need?

Weather is getting nasty in your area.
 
Not here. 34 for a low kinda surprised me. Sunny and 44 now. Wind is going to start soon. 15 with 23 gusts. How come they don't just say 20 or 25.
 
Gained a lot on the router table. With the Formica glued on, it was time to route the sides to accept tracks which will hold the fence in place.
Then came making a template so I could route a groove into the table so the lift could set flush. It's almost usable, but I still need to design a fence.
