    Off my tailbone. I have heavy cleaning about 3/4 of the way done. Time to install the mini split, get the wide drum sander going, fix the plumbing for my DC as it got separated somehow, and get camping gear OUT of my shop and into the shed or camper where it belongs.

    Design done, I am having to maximize space in my home office for some additional business activities and relevant equipment and supplies. Making a set of custom shelves for said setup. Sort of like my former Tool stacker idea, but indoors, and housing graphics / office equipment and supplies for vinyl cutter, and sublimation printer OVER the table already housing a 15x15 heat press, and a mug / tumbler heat press.

    Finalizing design for a similar setup to house my 3D printers and the associated supplies.

    Fix the bed frame from the master suite (squeaks, has since it was new, they kept swapping the pieces out but never bothered to realize it was the mortise for the brackets was too shallow allowing slop in the joint...).

    Having an electrician come in and do an upgrade, run 2 added circuits to the office to supply power for the heat press and vinyl cutter. Plus added circuit for my 3D printers, and yes my main panel has the capacity for it.

    Dive headlong into the kitchen and bath cabinet refacing. Kitchen cabinet needs new doors, drawer fronts, and the sink base cabinet needs a new floor as the original particleboard one fell apart. Planning on something like Poplar raised panels as I want to paint my cabinets ultra bright white. My late wife always hated the idea, but I like it, and the choice is now fully mine.

    I have the measurements and templates I need to redo the "Kitchen" cabinet in the camper. Moving the fridge over to the passengers side and making the cabinet standing height so I can install an 85L fridge and off load the 45L model. This is going to render the sink and countertop useless with the pop top down, but allow me a much larger fridge, more space for the drivers seat to recline, and MUCH more storage in the fridge cabinet.
    Counter top for said cabinet, stock is prepped and waiting.
    Cabinet doors for the camper, simple rails and stiles with cedar panel filler. Roundover edges for safety but overall trying to keep it rustic.

    What's your 2025 Shop/Project Outlook?

    What are your shop and project plans for 2025?

    Here is my list
    • Build my office Desk. Last February I put a piece of particle board on my current desk to determine the size and decided 2 meters is the length I need for my three computer setup.
    • Build a mortising jig since that will be necessary for the desk.
    • My other daughter also wants a Murphy bed for her house.
    • Replace the wire shelving in the pantry with built ins
    • Not really a project, but my shop computer is a 2015 laptop that has a failed display and nly connects to the external display about half the time so it will need to be replaced and I'm out of hand me downs so I might need to buy something useful.
    My Sawstop savings just took a hit with a $2700 repair to my truck, so barring winning the lottery, that is probably off the list for the year.
Working...
