Yesterday I shoveled 2 cubic yards of topsoil in 4 hours. Guess that means I don’t have any heart problems!
What did you do today?

You should have gone to Home Depot and purchased a sheet of plywood. Now that is a real "ticker tester!"
$75 for a sheet of 3/4” sanded face plywood down here.
thats what I pay for 1/2 inch cdx
it makes my heart sad

I hear it is $125 in some areas.
I made this miter saw station for my 7.25” slider out of left over material I had laying around. At first I thought it was big n clunky but I find it’s my go to cut station now unless I have to break out my big saw for either capacity or accuracy.
I’ve been wanting to make one for one of my 12” sliders but I just can’t bring myself to pay for the plywood.

Only you my friend would round out a saw hole lol.
You could have made an effective version out of half the plywood though dont you think?
You going to put a back plate on it?

You know me, I’ve got my saw hood if necessary. That thing is awesome when we’re cutting a lot of MDF. I can hook my dust collector up to it and cycle it on n off with a foot peddle. Helps to cut down on the ol booger production.
Sometimes buddy i think you spend more time dinking around on things for wood working than you do working with wood 
I love that you stained it too lol
....table saw must still be set up in the kitchen?

There’s only so much sitting around that I can do. I had the day off, waiting for materials to be delivered, so I decided to make something.
Weather was nicer when I made this one so I didn’t have to finish it in the house.

Do they actually sell hoods for saws like that? Looks like part of the top of a stroller or baby carriage. LOL.
Yesterday I went grocery shopping and picked up a lot of stuff. More meat and veggies, some frozen meals for mom, bread, etc. My brother made some sort of meat concoction with spinach and curry. Apparently curry does not agree with my stomach though. It did not go through me in a good way. Was sick all day curled in fetal position with tummy ache and trying not to vomit. I managed to get one of my cats to curl up on my abdomen like a heating pad with pressure so it helped. He even tolerated me rolling over a little and he still stayed right where I needed him to be. Dog came and licked my face to comfort me. I still feel a bit bleh, but stomach isn't hurting and I'm only very mildly nauseous now.
Friend sent me a pic of the 1st kitten his tortie cat just had. Another tortie that looks like her mother. If we didn't have so many cats already I'd be tempted to adopt. Torties tend to be the sweetest cats. When I'm feeling better I'll have to go see the mama cat and her babies.

For a second I thought you were talking to me.Sometimes buddy i think you spend more time dinking around on things for wood working than you do working with wood

Fastcap and Rousseau both make chop saw hoods. The light on mine is acting up so I called Rousseau to order another one. $20 for the light and they are shipping it to me for free. Not bad customer service for something that I’ve been using for over 5 years now. Does a great job of containing the dust. Not 100% but at least 85% to 90%.
I like the support you made in the last image. I'm guessing you're a fan of the woodright shop......... Except he would have used wooden screws.

I’ve seen that show many a time. OPB is for me.
I'd love to see some of Roy's projects where he did them on his own time instead of squeezed into a 20 minute long show. Even though I don't really do much woodworking I really enjoy watching those shows.
I have a well-equipped woodworking shop. Wood is just too expensive.
Somebody told me that one of the reasons wood is so damn expensive is because Trump repealed NAFTA. Haven’t looked into the validity of it yet but whenever I drove down 101 I would see the closed down lumber mills. Or whenever I drove across the Longview bridge I would see all those trees just waiting to be shipped overseas. Might be time to bring some jobs back home.
I have heard there was a lot of wood coming from the south and much of it is under water. But who knows?
I do know that several states and the feds are wanting to raise gas taxes. Biden's transportation secretary wants a tax per mile driven. With fuel already going up that will raise the price of all goods that are shipped. Plus, more and more acres are becoming restricted from logging. Japan was buying a lot of American lumber at a high price, that might be helping to drive the prices too.
