In between brush hogging and rebuilding the carburetor on my old tractor, I managed to get the handles epoxied. Hopefully I have this finished tomorrow.

This is the first brand new tool my shop has seen in quite a while. Maybe ever. A variable speed, 2x72 grinder by NorthRidge Tool. It's an extremely well built machine and worth every penny. I could not be happier with it!

New handle for one of the many axes and mauls I have around the shop. I like to find the older tools, clean them up a bit and put them back into service. Been a week and still smells of boiled linseed oil.

It's literally been over a year since I have posted anything. Shame on me! I guess I like making stuff more than I like posting to facebook. I'll try to do better.
