Long hiatus

  I must apologize for not doing regular updates recently.  Work has been very busy and is finally tapering off.  I was taking some professional certification tests for work and I was spending a lot of my free time studying.

  What little time I've had free has been put to some good use.  I helped a co-worker clean out his father in law's garage.  Part of my reward for doing that was that I got some tools cheap.  In all honesty, I have not had a chance to go through them all yet but this is a partial list.

  * Wood joiner (about the last major piece of woodworking equipment that I did not have)
  * Drill press.  Nice one.  It is pretty much a duplicate of the one I own but I will be able to setup one of them as a full time mortising machine for woodworking.
  * Craftsman tool cabinet with tools inside.  This is one of those big rolling tool cabinets and it still has quite a few tools in it.  I still have not had a chance to take an inventory.

  As a result of the new influx of stuff, the shop is currently a mess.

  I am taking two weeks off for the Christmas season.  I hope to get some shop time and hopefully get back to the clock soon.  I have not made nearly enough progress this year.  Hopefully next year will be better.
