It was overcast most of the day yesterday, with some light sprinkles from time to time, but my buddy Doug & I got some excellent shots at Meadowbrook Park! I also through in two of Wrigley, patiently waiting for his mama to come home.
Its seems like I just started on this project, but it’s actually been over 3 months. I guess that means time flies when your having fun, or I’m not as fast as I think I am. Either way, this is the final video in my series about setting up a bench grinder, and making a tool rest for it. In the video I show machining the work surfaces, & mounting them to the machine.
Since I finally have a camera capable of high quality shots, I Thought I’d start posting some of the random stuff I photograph. The following shots are some of the random stuff I’ve taken over the last few days.

After some inclement weather and household tasks that denied me shop time for the last 3 weeks, I was able to get into the shop this weekend and knock out another part of my grinder rest. After some time pondering the design of the part, I decided to change it. The redesign made the part easier to make, and less prone to moving after machining.
This video is the first I’ve shot with my new camera, and I’m very happy with the improved video quality. The audio isn’t that great, but it’s still substantially better than what I got from my old camera.
Since it was over 50 degrees and the sun was out, Jillian and I decided to take a day trip to Allerton Park. A lot of statues are still wrapped for winter storage, but we saw some signs that spring is just around the corner.
