Holly recovery update

Holly update - she woke up this morning full of beans with bright eyes and a happy face so yes...recovery going well.

DIY Twin floor lamp 2

From the last session we left off at this point with the lights mounted on a plywood board.

DIY Twin Floor Lamp - Part 1

Some time ago bought a couple of LED downlights with 240V plug leads. Finally decided to do something with them – a twin floor lamp. This will stand between the two mitre saws that are parked at the front of the workshop against the roller door.

Found a piece of plywood the right size.

Holly update

Out for a break and a pee. Amazing how she can still take care of business. As already posted she is booked in on Monday at Boronia with Tony for cruciate ligament surgery and this time will stay overnight.

Lenovo Family Cloud

Invitation from Lenovo try out the following products:

Lenovo Family Cloud (Client - phones/tablets)
Lenovo Family Cloud Server (Server - Win10/64bit PC)

Went to my bookmarked Lenovo system scan webpage and one of the software items on the list was indeed the Lenovo Family Cloud Server, went ahead and installed that with no issues.

14” Bandsaw – Blade tracking knob

The saw is basically finished and now has it’s own parking spot on the floor.
Got onto one of the last little jobs this afternoon, the blade tension knob which is still just a screw nut.

Marked out on some scrap MDF a 40mm radius circle, then counter punched around the circumference at 90° intervals – and the centre. Bored four 15mm holes with a Forstner bit which will provide for finger grip. Then cut out the knob on the bandsaw, yes…the saw is making it’s own parts.

Workshop Tour – Feb 2018

Spent some time over the last few days cleaning up and reorganising the workshop.  The motivation for doing this is to find a parking spot for the latest nearly completed project – the 14” bandsaw!

This is the big Ozito 12” sliding mitre saw. I was lucky to get one of the last as they don’t make 12” anymore. Thanks to Ozito (again) for tracking one down and getting one to the Bunnings Scoresby store for me to pick-up!
