For the nerds... here's a little Arduino circuit I've built. Next step is to move the parts onto a PCB. Don't ask me what it's for, I'm too embarrassed to say.

Well except for the Purple Heart 😀

With my wife away for the week exploring the wilds of Florida (Jupiter Beach, sound terrifying), I was able to make good progress on the shop as snow falls outside and Penny the Welsh Corgi sleeps on a piece of carpet.
The electrical fixtures and cover plates are 100% done, dust collector is connected under the floor to the table saw and joiner, shelves and accordion doors (for dust control) have been added to the drafting nook/office, the insulated concrete half walls have been capped with painted shelves, a new tool cabinet with sliding doors (again, dust...) was added to the left of the corner tool cabinet, and shelves for the speakers and microwave.
Behind the corner tool cabinet are two deep triangular shelves that keep stacks of bulky furniture blankets and packaging foam away from the dust; an added benefit is that it also makes a great bass trap for deadening the low frequency sound waves inside the shop.
Snow day tomorrow, so I'll get to do some more organizing and shelf hanging.

Our owner wanted a free standing staircase. Structural steel, clad in wood was not budget friendly.
I designed this stair out of MDF clad, LVL wood with steel gussets, making the stringers and landing into a monolithic truss.
The cost was 1/3 of steel.
Crap! Just noticed my carpenter forgot to plug the screws on the handrail.

Built a wood shed
All was going well until we had a "wind storm" 90 mph gusts will let you know whether you properly secured the walls to the base.
I failed.
The irony is that wood pile has been moved so many times that when I finally thought it was in it's final spot, we had to move it off the shed to repair it, then stack it once again. The plan is when we've burned off 1/2 the wood to enclose one half and turn it into a sauna.
Our dog likes it when I build a fire

Had a guy I work with want me to put a new handle on a pairing knife that was dear to him. A cheap blade, but he loved to cut with it, so I took on the challenge.
The handle had seen it's last days.
Here's the flaw in the design, it's a small tang that is half hidden, when should be full hidden to prevent moisture from getting in. The wood rotted and the brass rivets were done too.
Good pic of the small tang(handle area).
Trying to avoid pining it, so got it pretty tight.
Ready to glue and then the final shaping. Will post when it's all finished.

Edge, I really admire what you do, but you and I have a different idea of what a snow day means.. haha..
Powder Powder Powder!
This thread sure has a lot of great stuff.
Stairs, shops, drums, knifes, broken wood sheds.. ( ouch, 90 mph winds mine would have failed too )
way cool stuff. I'm glad this thread exists. Inspiring!
