The shrine re-organized to hold tools better. Hand planes this year a part of every shop project.

New use for random orbit sander
Rubbing compound and a RAS. Before, you couldn't even see the bulb it was so yellow. Time to paint the Vespa? The Festool Rotex is supposed to be good for polishing...
2011 Woodworking Year Review
January:
The year started with a new furnace and on-demand water heater. This very large expense, created another 3-5 feet of garage space. Note, the new water heater right next to the new furnace and the black pole where the old water heater was centered.
So the wiring for 220V to move my Oneida 3HP cyclone, wall mounting it and running rigid metal duct began and finished - wow that took a long time!
February:
With more room, I decided to better outfit my tool cabinet to better hold my growing and large shrine to Lie-Nielsen. I sold all my old stanley's and decided that I was tired of fussing with them to get them to work. Here you see my new #7.
April/May:
A vacation gets me motivated to get a motorcycle endorsement and a new piece of equipment
May/June:
What a disaster, but results speak for itself. Sarah and I install a greenhouse, having a terrible time hitting sprinkler pipes 3 times! Surprisingly, work gives me an extra week off, I think I'll knock out a trellis for a climbing vine and a arbor (not shown). The arbor is also a disaster and takes nearly the entire week. I dig more holes than I care to count in order to stabilize it and had to make a major repair because a knot caused the arbor to break in half.
July:
Vacation and took apart the cold frame no longer needed because of the above.
August:
Another disaster, Sarah and I install grape vine trellis' but get the auger stuck in the mud! It took two hours to dig out on the hottest days of the summer. Also, took back some reclaimed ipe I gave someone (he couldn't work with it because it was too hard), and made a dock/pathway to the grapevines. Feeling especially good because some of the wood used was originally reclaimed from a older greenhouse, then used as a coldframe and now the pathway.
Sept/Oct:
Get our motorcycle endorsements, time to find some scooters!
Nov:
From a flitch of walnut that I've had for almost 2 years. Banquet for table coming in 2012:
Dec:
I'll think of you every time I build something
