    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Finished the fence this weekend other than coming back in a few weeks to apply a sealer to it. I rewarded myself by cooking up a Boston Butt in the smoker all day Sunday while I was finishing up. Both the fence and the Butt turned out great.

    110" TIMBER Assembly Thread

    I love a good dial indicator but the 1/64 would drive me crazy. as far as the inch system over the metric I agree the metric system is probably better but after many years in construction SAE is just burned into my brain and it hard sometimes to look at other things.

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

Just a random scrap box, the first roll of tape he could find, and a pair of cable cutters. Literally cut the branch, placed...

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    LOL. Yeah the fence will be on both sides of the house. One side is right at 50' long and the other side is going to be around 35' long. Then also got piece of split rail fence to place a 90 degree corner fence on each side of my personal driveway where it meets the shared driveway with my...

    What do you use for a work stand

    Thats pretty slick. For my sanity could you please scrape the stickers off of the conduit. LOL. As an electrician I was taught early on that its easy to make all of the conduit fittings line up when running multiple runs next too each other but not so easy with the stickers and to scrape them...
