After returning from a successful trip to Vegas (I came home with 5 bucks more than I left with after buying dinner at the airport before the flight home), I decided "hey, that was money you were willing to lose if you sucked at the gaming tables...so...why not buy something with it?". So...I did!
I've been wanting some shop tools, but had been holding out til we bought a house, but, now that we aren't buying for probably another year...I decided I'm not waiting for the tools anymore!
After spending hours on Grizzly.com deciding what I wanted (I already knew, just had to stare at them for hours again anyway), I got the cash deposited back into the bank so I could place my order. 3 days later...they were brought into the garage by a FedEx freight guy that hated his job, but who cares about him, its tool time!
6" jointer!
14" Bandsaw!
Mortising machine!
Tenon cutting jig!
And last but not least, I ordered a planer also, but went with a different brand than Grizzly based on some reviews from other wood workers on a web forum I like to visit. This one has 3 blades as opposed to 2, and there fore churns out a smoother cut...or so the users tell me, its not supposed to arrive until May 27th!
Now its time to save up some money so I can go buy some lumber. I have several projects already lined up to do, dining table and chairs, then an entire bed set for us. After that, I'll do bedroom sets for the kids too. I need to win the lottery clearly!
Next Wednesday I'm going over-sized sturgeon fishing, can't wait!!!!!!!!!! I should have some pictures to post of that outing too, yeah!
