It's not my year. Someone stole the copper wire from my shop. I fell off a ladder and busted up my ankle. I got stung by over 50 yellow jackets while saving my dog from a nest of them. I hit two deer with my truck coming home late from work a few
It's not my year. Someone stole the copper wire from my shop. I fell off a ladder and busted up my ankle. I got stung by over 50 yellow jackets while saving my dog from a nest of them. I hit two deer with my truck coming home late from work a few weeks ago. And now my domino cutter bit broke when I needed it to finish a table I'm working on. A brand new bit. About 1/4" snapped off the end. I'm pretty salty about it lol. Will take a week to get a new one in.
Setup this weekend far from home. I'm in doylestown PA. A few miles north of Philadelphia. Here 10am to 5pm Saturday and Sunday. First show I've done in years without any WV state cutting boards!

Remember. Be safe on ladders. I want to apologize to all my customers who are waiting on projects. I've been a bit slow recently after falling off a ladder and breaking my ankle. Someone stole the grounding wire and ground rods from the outside
Remember. Be safe on ladders. I want to apologize to all my customers who are waiting on projects. I've been a bit slow recently after falling off a ladder and breaking my ankle. Someone stole the grounding wire and ground rods from the outside of my shop. When I was fixing it, I fell off the ladder, and my foot got caught in the ladder on the way down. But after many weeks of being lazy I can finally walk on my own again.
Setup today at the hometown market in fairmont. Here until 3pm. Monroe street.

After a few days my new laser is finally on. I had to run a new electrucal circuit for it and hook up the exhaust. The laser tube is rated at 120 watts. There is an on board chiller that pumps cold water through the co2 laser tube. This laser is about 10x faster than my old one. So hopefully I can catch up on some orders now

That's the sound of a $1000 Leeson table saw motor dying, I'm afraid. At least it's during my slower months.... The worst part is sourcing a good replacement.
