I'm just jelly!

tour of casa del Matt, Jack will be your guide. Jack wanted some outside time so you get these first. It will then explain the scope of my honey do list. Jack knew you were pic whores so you get some outside pics first.

Pond #1 jack hammered most rubble removed, time for grading.

Pond #2 same thing. We are going to salvage as much rock as we can for gardening and land scape as possible.

Displaced ruble and some downed branches. Also note the need for a new retaining wall? Some of the 'crete might just find it's way in there. There is actually another huge pile that flikr said I didn't have space to UL along with some other pics.

Need slate chunks? Not me. Nearly went to tears grinding it though. It's from a 10' snooker table. Ryan2 may remember. Here is one pile of what's left. Probably become some parts of landscape or a water feature. Also a square for the BGE.

Tiny herb and tomato garden.

Jacks favorite yard ornament to sniff.

Jack wanted to lay down now as he got bored with me, so then I could go over to the shop. Here's jack prancing around happy to walk around the yard.

Ok. Jacks napping on the steps now. Here is the shop. Basically it's the 3rd stall in a 3 car garage. It works but it's tiny. Uber tiny for the current project of my maelstroms. I had pulled it all out to work on it, but then it started to rain. I put it all back. Then it stopped.... so anyway, you guys get pics. On with the show.

Here is the routing station. I got the table from my gramps. Home made router table with acrylic front and slick top. The other router I have is a craftsman plunge and static base. I wish I would have got something a bit more powerfull, but realistically I would have paid 2.5 times more for a less functioning router to get 25% more powa.

It it lasts another 3-4 projects it will have been worth the investment. I however loath my craftman table saw. Was garbage. Only 95 bucks, but still crap.

Blue box specials commin up. This drill may be the most costly tool I have. I needed one and the sale wasn't that great but I really needed one ASAP when I got it.

Reverse focus somehow. Oopsies. Anyway, you get the point. The pipe clamps are older than me. Maybe double my age or more. From my gramps when he moved. You can see the band saw in the first pic here. It's an oldie but goodie too. The angle clams are also from gramps. Makes holding wood possible alone, or twice as smooth to line up when you have someone helping. I have 8 of them. One has a miter guide in it. Really great tools.

The wooden block clamps on the joists here is also a relic. The ones set up to on the MDF are a newer breed. Loaners from dad in law.

On the far right you can see some plywood and part of an open hole.... thats my unfinished prototype box for my 18" fi that I was going to test before I got the maelstroms. I will have to clean it up but it will be in the living room later.

Server rack and dewalt. Random wife gift becase the buddy I hired to knock down the walls in the kitchen had one and I said I liked it. She got it used for 70 bucks or something silly like that at home depot because of a scratch on the box. It came in amazingly usefull, as the buddy I hired had his crap out literally 20 min before she came home.

No better way to hold bolts.

Lighting is my custom design. Tres chic'..... or it cost 2.99 for 1 and I plugged it into a powa strip. I spent 6 dollars on lighting and it works great for now.

In the pic with the clamps where you see the rope comming down, this is what you see if you look up. I thought it looked cool, so you get to see it. The rest I took up the sucked. I wired another grampa special to the top there incase I need access to the attic of the garage. The 2 car side has a ceiling between the roof and ground. It's all basically another level. it will be my lumber storage area.

The planer and squares you see here are also artifacts from my grand father. I can't find any half as nice sold today. Really great craftsmanship, and special to me. I also got some saws, and literally hundreds and hundreds of sheets of sand paper.

Real men use worm drive. Seriously, one of the best modern power tools I have ever purchased. The failed first one makes me not like the reliability, but the shoe combined with how amazing it cuts is pretty wild. If this one goes kaput I will still be sold on worm drives for a while. Untill I can't lift them at least. The weight is a huge help while cutting but could wear a guy out fast! It probably ties with my makita drill

Awesome alert!

I found a weird plank with all the other MDF too. I don't think it would make a good speaker box, but it looks cool in the lighting and sawdust and it's a ton of fun too. I am the worst snowboarder on the planet but I'll used to love falling down a hill for hours.

owned the hop!

The over cast day gave everything a kind of natural blue filter look.

My shop is messy as all hell, but it works. it's normally much cleaner when I don't have so much wood in there.

Nice pictures you posted. Did I see some birks in the reflection?

Hell yes.

Taupe suede arizona's are the *only* birks.

They only look taupe for a week or so though. hehe

Wish I had shop space like that.

Thanks Aaron. I did get lucky with this house.

I love those masks. I want to buy one but have no good reason to really.

I figured I would try out one of these as I will never need

We did get a 5 of these and once they are unpacked, I will take some pictures of the white and pink one. They are very nice.
