[Eyerelief]

I think the puppy is going to like it. Looks like a great place for some chairs, a fridge and a BBQ pit
And a dog bed of course

well, I am making a workbench for my son, and I got tired of routing mortices and watching my bushing loosen up. So I made a spanner out of an old set of pliers. I annealed them so I can drill them. Then I drilled the bushing I was using. I'll do the rest later. what a difference.. kept thinking I should do this, and never did. I also ground the teeth down on the pliers so it wouldn't hurt the brass

You can also stick an o-ring under the nut to stop it from coming loose

Working on the retaining wall for my shop. Whew this thing is kicking my butt. I am getting reminded I am not a spring chicken anymore.

Make sure you know where water is going. Not that you don't but just making sure.

It looks marvellous but I have to ask, what is it? (I don’t get out much…)

You going to backfill it with plenty of 3/4 gravel and fabric to keep it from pushing out right?

it's already got loctite on it. That didn't stop it. This will. I already used it and it worked. It just needed more than a finger tightening.

I spent many days including today first converting an old single stage lung killing dust collector into a 2 stage collector. I'm now trying to inclose the thing to tame down its 85 decibel scream. I tried one small project on my new Avid CNC router without one before deciding I couldn't live without it.

BTW really nice job on the BMW tool set.

Even though I only spent a year as a tool and die apprentice and didn't go back to it after Uncle Sam had had his way with me. I've spent the past 50+ years making tools.

What BMW tool set? If you don't quote the reply we don't know what you're referring to.
