Haha. I know those kind of projects. Every time you changed the blade it was like man I need to make a thumbscrew....just not today!
My not today/dreadful/been avoiding project-
Continue the basement shop wall painting. Painting part is not bad. Put some music on and mindlessly slather it on. Part I can't stand is prepping. Scrubbing the concrete with water, wire brush and rags to get the loose stuff and construction mud etc so the paint will 1/2 stick. Then moving pipes and conduits to get behind them. My goal is not waterproofing but primarily to brighten things up and reduce dusting.
My basement is very dry so any "waterproofing" effect is just a bonus. More like a vapor boundary. Not sure the stuff I bought is any good but figured it would be better than regular wall paint.
This wall will be a pain geting behind the panels
Finished walls look better

I made an angle dresser for my small surface grinder. The only thing I had left to do was the handle that goes on the knob. Set it on my grinder and it is to tall. I'll have to make some modifications to make it work. Chopping the diamond dresser tool in half would probably be the first thing.
I copied the plans from Mr. Doug Ross aka Rossbotics

Making a screw conveyor
Material used 0.5 inch steel pipe, 2in washers.
I cut the washers and bent them on the vise.
Then I welded them in pairs
And put them on the pipe to weld the pairs together
After welding the pairs I stretched them to give them the appropriate shape.
Conveyor ready! I must weld it on the pipe now and grind all these horrible weldings I have made!!
