Back in the shop

Post by jimandi5000 »

Hi all,

It's been 6 months, but today I was able to get in the shop. Now you need to know, I have 5 kids that enjoy that they have full access to a well stocked, woodworking shop. Now, after just 4 hours of cleaning, I found a 5x10 mill, 5hp table saw, 18in bandsaw, 8in jointer, power feed thickness planer and 42 in sander. :lol: Got to love the kids making wood chips. As my dad stated, it's better to have a dirty shop and know where and what they are doing than have a clean shop and wonder. :wink:

So, my first project was for the wife.

Very nice cutting board. Just curious. What is the material that you used?

That's one of the HDPE Sam's cutting boards. It's 1/2 x 15 x 20 for ABOUT $9.00.
Thanks,
Jim

Do you use the same settings for your tool bits as you would for wood?

Jim, Congrats & welcome back to the shop!
Thank you for the gadgets on your way back to the shop.
I have a flag or two on my "things to do list".
That's one of the HDPE Sam's cutting boards. It's 1/2 x 15 x 20 for ABOUT $9.00.
I have used the one from Sams for a couple different projects, and some Walmarts have a similar HDPE board as well for those that don't have a Sam's club membership.
