Man cave? HA!

I'm making more room for my wife's overstock.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind

Just cleaning mine and putting everything back where it belongs would be a major upgrade.

Damm busy fishing season, what a mess!

I guess I could start with cleaning up sawdust from last may.

I too also have to finish setting up my dust collector. I just get carried away with other stuff when I'm in the shop.

I'll be happy if I clean it.

I bought a Delta dust collector and had to build a thing a ma jig to hook it on to the lathe. It works great and I don't sneeze half as much anymore.

No boat, back in the suds.

I rented a 30 yd dumpster, throwing everything out but the tools and the furnace. 30 years of it might be good someday...

Given the economy, and last winter, I just want to make sure it's a money maker this year... if it is able to provide some enjoyment from making plugs and rods, that will be a bonus. Outdoor work is starting to wind down. Going to finish up a small deck and news stairs at the Shocker's house tomorrow. Looking at a bathroom and a kitchen to take me to year end. Then I have a shot at five baths and a kitchen in a single residence for the winter...

I allready added a remote control to my dust collector and added another lathe .... wish I had added the remote years ago.. The lathe is a used( very, very little use) 1975 Craftsman 12" swing mono tube, I have set up for drilling and prototype work.. it came with a large cabinate and a set of knives, couldnt go wrong for $100.. I've ordered a 1000 CFM cyclone dust collector to upgrage the 850 unit I have now... but I wont install it until the spring, I've got to change all the present 4" duct work to 6" to make it right..
