Friday night Misc.

Tonight was one of those nights where you just hang out in your shop and wonder what you can do to improve things. Well, after cleaning things up, sorting things out, and putting stuff away. I decided to implement some new air filtration strategy. I did a Little research on line last night and found an Idea I could put into practice. I put the two fans up close to the ceiling so they were out of the way and have better access to filter the air. The benefit is that they are now off the floor. I liked it so much, I experimented by putting my vacuum up there. ( still don't know if I will like that as well. But it does free up even more floor space! I also worked on another owl house and several more small bird houses. Nothing too fancy, but they did clear up even more scrap wood. I even worked on some dovetail joinery. There was no point, I was just practicing. I still have a ways to go for a tight fit, but at least they look a little better. ( I could just buy a jig for the router, but where would be the fun in that? Besides, I'm a starving artist! Who has money for all those fancy gizmos?)

Painted boxes.

Just took my time and worked on boxes tonight to finish them up. These pictures are them without the tung oil finish on them As it is, they are drying now. One of my air filter fans has been acting up lately, so I took it apart and I'm questioning what I should do with it next. I could reassemble it and set it back up as it was....OR...I could see about making a more permanent fixture/ air filter up on the ceiling. I have not made up my mind yet.
