All done with this one. Needed a new entryway table since we changed things with the new floor. Made from willow a neighbor cut down. Rough cut with a chainsaw, then made to resemble a table. Just polyurethane over it.

Future top of a sofa table. Dead ash I cut down last year (fuck you emerald ash borer). Rough slab milled from the log with chainsaw mill. Ran it through the portable planer a few times then cut it at 9x46". Needs a bit more work. Some future legs and braces snuck into the frame as well. (, kinda, I just slap crap together)

Dropping my first Milky Way pic that I took in July 2020. The bright stars are Jupiter and Saturn.

Yes, I'm still new here and only using cheap DSLR.
I was experimenting at first and somehow fell deeply in love with space.
I love moon and stargazing since I was a kid, but never took it seriously until 2020.

@benholmen And, yeah, I could use all kinds of fancy tools 😄

@Alaskanviking Sure! Could have went with unhealthy sandwich and a cookie....but didn't!

New rocket project. Made a forward centering ring and nosecone bulkhead out of 1/8" birch ply. Got sick of round tubes 😄

It's that time of year in Wisconsin: school kids are making the filthiest snow forts you've ever seen

Fins on the Doorknob. Fillet work on the upscale Big Daddy. Doorknob will only get internal fillets, trying to stay scale-ish and all.

@benholmen Oops, I did an at instead of hashtag. Yeah, they don't exactly enjoy it, but they hate car rides too.

Had to take the cats to the vet for a routine checkout. They're noisy when they're moving; but that's better than being inside a car with them. Also, Rosie trying to hide... @catsofmastodon

@ploafmaster It's easy to overdress! Once you're moving, you'll be ok. Don't forget keeping toes sufficiently insulated though :)

@Hillman Nice! I also have acquired a nice scroll saw and found a Honda-Engined water pump that just needed a new carburetor. $20 and that was running again. Amazing what people throw out that just needs a little proper care or simple fixes.
