Re: Freakin' Manly Sawdust!!!
We've got an endless number of things that need replacing/cleaning around here. Two 7 month olds, no money, and a really bad back have reduced projects to glacial pace. We are out of space (hence the crowded basement shop) and the twins seem determined to grow and expand their territory. :(
The shelves themselves are 3/4" melamine. The drum sander was a nice (read uncluttered) place to set my finished red oak face pieces. I did use the portable planer to reduce the raw wood to thickness. The shelves only needed to be cut on the table saw.
Are you a wood worker, or just a fan of CSI? :D

Electrician.
But I do little bits of everything.
Re: Freakin' Manly Sawdust!!!
That certainly explains why you would notice the (shameful) switches. This house was built in 1976 (not a great time for quality nor design, sadly), and we end up with 5 projects for every one we dare to start. Luckily, I have a friend who is a licensed electrician and skilled plumber (he installs spas for a living). He is a tremendous help with all of that kind of stuff. About a week from now, he's lined up to replace both toilets, move a gas line, and install a new electric water heater.
I am still very much a novice wood worker. I butchered some innocent trees in high school, but never really did much after that. I knew we had a ton of work to do here, so I spent a few years putting money into tools. Unfortunately, about the same time I got the tools together, I seriously injured my back. Timing...
Now it is a necessity to do some of these things. It's learn (screw up)-as-I-go, and keep going. I do enjoy the small victories (the reason why I started this thread), and am pleased when I get a pat on the back from the wife. Sometimes I think it would be easier to blow the whole house apart, and start from scratch. If I do, I'll post pics, OFC. :naughty:
