Al's Workshop - Batman lights

I don't know if this is virus related cos Sunday night I had a sudden influx of enquiries for my Batman light, like 20 of them one after the other including country folk asking about postage and willing to pay for that - Crikey.

At this stage (still going through them) looks like I have orders for ten of them - again Crikey. This morning worked my way through the list and confirmed the first four orders so making a start on them. Also ordered 4 x RGB LED strip with RCU kits. Tonight I'll have to do some 'overtime' and continue down the list following up with the other people.

Disc sander for wood lathe - part 6

Before mounting the table we need to route a channel for the mitre gauge. I've decided to go with the vintage Sher mitre gauge - ALL METAL

On the left is where we downed tools last session

Another new toy for kitties.
