Rather than ignore the elephant in the room lets just clear the air, three years between posts is too long. I'll briefly explain the why and then update you on what is going on in the now.
|
Right around the time of my last post the company I worked for decided to reduce overhead by reducing staff. It was a surprise both professionally and personally, not the hey it's your birthday and we threw you a party kind of surprise either.

I took a job in another state and we had every intention of selling and moving. The shop was actually a big part of our final decision to not sell. Since building it we invested a lot of ourselves into getting it finished just so. We decided it was better to spend our time working in the shop than building a new shop and being a couple of years out before we could really work in it.

So you've seen the big shop. After taking a job in Lansing, MI, I rented a townhouse. It didn't have much room for a shop, so I made due.
|
The mechanical/laundry room in the basement is 21 feet by 8 1/2 feet. This room houses the furnace, water heater, washer and dryer, and a deep sink. The ceiling may be 8 feet, but the pipes and ducting hang down to 6 feet 10 inches. There won't be any breaking down of any sheet goods in here. And my 52" SawStop will NOT be going in here.

I like turning rolling pins. Maybe it's because of the unique challenges they present, like making a perfectly uniform cylinder. Maybe it's because Marisa makes many fabulous baked creations with them, like pizzas, pies, and potica.

I made this one because we didn't have one in Michigan. This became the first project I made in the Small Shop.
