'Tis Said That A Bad Day In The Shop

[crokett]

is better than a good day at work. I'm not sure that is correct. Had a thoroughly frustrating time in the shop last night. Couldn't take a drill apart to fix a balky trigger. I need a torx screwdriver I don't have. Finally finishing the router table attachment I've had for almost 2 years but realized it is not wide enough. Then of course there is the rail issue with the PM66. Finally, when I crank the blade all the way up on the PM the arbor pulley hits the bottom of the table.

OTOH, I get to go buy another too to fix the drill. I had the pleasure of cutting a 36x50ish" old table top down on the PM to make the new router table top. On my BT the saw table was nowhere near big enough. I discovered the arbor pulley issue while the saw was off. I have a fix for that. Things are looking up already.

Agreed... When your work is in the shop, you don't have a shop to escape to for therapeutic purposes...

Almost makes one tender the thought of taking a part time job at night just to have the "escape". But then, there are those late afternoons that a glue up took too long, or just one more cabinet to assemble, that go on into the night.
