So what did you do today?

[TJ the Chainsaw Mechanic]

After work I went to harbor freight and bought a 10X17 ft portable garage that I will be using as a blasting cabinet to blast my 66's cab. Also got some off road wheels so I can make a roller to roll the cab around with. And got a free tape measure!

I've seen guys use those for a mini paint booth also.

I'm debating on using it as my booth as well. Putting it together today so I'll figure out later.

May have to cut it up a little. Fan out the back and furnace filters in the doors. And a remote air source for you.

I've purchased the HF portable garages before. Good design but the covers have very limited life (about a year). I recovered mine with a higher quality material but don't have the ends anymore.

I wouldn't recommend their double car ports as they're not structurally strong enough to withstand wx such as snow or ice. Even here in middle Georgia we sometimes get both of those.

The 10x20 foot carports I purchased in the past from Sam's Club held up pretty well but I've since had to recover those as well. They held up for quite a few years though.

For short term use such as a sandblast or paint shelter, the HF zipper sheds will do fine.

I'm gonna take the high road today with it hittin' damn near the century mark later...crank the fans up in the shop, and piddle around a little. If I get absolutely zero accomplished, it'll be just fine. My target goal for today is zilch point chit anyhow.

Looks like some nice wood working tools. jointer, planer and a router table?
The router table is a cheapo unit but the jointer and planer look like well constructed old timey tools. Did you get a router with it?

Well it's a gazillion degrees here today but I went out and split and loaded some firewood anyway. I'm trying to lose a few pounds so figured that would help. I had to quit after a while as I just couldn't take any more heat. I've had a shower, lunch and am now sitting in my chair with the computer until I get some more energy. Groundi has been sick most of the week so we're just chillin with no festivities planned. Closed on a rental house yesterday that needs work (mostly lipstick) but it's just too danged hot to start a big project. I was at a property until 8pm last evening trying to finish up some last details for the new occupants that are moving in today.

Replaced metering wheel, support brackets, bushings, metering gear, straps, L-bracket, knives, wiper plates, bills, bushings, bolts and washers on a JD 328 square baler. Which mastermind thought that up? Ties a nice knot now.

Was that all store bought parts or did you have to create some of it?

I was finishing up a cabinet for my shop when work called...OT is good. Made 28 hours week-before-last, 40 hours last week, and currently working on 45.5 this week (week-on, week-off). Gotta pay for those machine tools somehow, yes?

Except for L-bracket, everything was JD parts. Just bolt and nut turning, driving bushings out, cleaning parts and making adjustments. Metering parts where worn out.
