Well, it's been a while and I thought I'd post an update.

It has been a busy year!
Daughter got married and moved to Germany with my son-in-law (he's in the army).
Had a plate breaking party.
Son got married, along with my daughter-in-law, they moved in.
They were building a house, it's done so they just moved out... having another plate breaking party.
Garage is still full with a small path from the house door to the roll up door.
Kids, it's time to get your stuff out... or I'll be having a fire sale, just kidding!
Daughter had my first grand child. She's 3 months old now.

Haven't done much with my Joe's machine. Did get it back in adjustment and running really well, then... It went under a tarp. Got a lot going on at work and I've run out of room so had to move my machine into a small corner and cover it. Plan to get it moved to my garage after my kids get all their stuff out, hopefully by the first of the year it will be set up enough to have it in place.

Still working on a 8020 machine... well still gathering parts. Have two sizes in mind. 3x6 and 4x8. I've got some 8020 extrusions but still have plenty to purchase. I've got v-wheels and rails for the 3x6 and Hiwin trucks and rails for the 4x8. Once I get started with that, I'll post a log.

To help with the above project and other things, here's a couple of toys I've picked up...



I just finished cleaning and servicing the lathe, it was full of the red grease stuff. Not to bad cleaned up pretty easy.

I've got the mill cleaned and serviced. Have the gas strut and belt conversion (in the card board boxes) to install.

Will probably CNC the mill later.

Now I've got my eye on the Grizzly X3, they have a special going right now, it's reduced by $100. As I understand it the sale is good until Dec 31, 2007.
I need a bigger garage or a shop... time to start dropping hints!

Well that about does it. It's great to see all the Joe's projects going on! Am pretty excited about Joe's new design, can't wait to see all the logs going for it.

Next time I post I am hopeful it will be to show some projects I'm working on.

Until then, have fun and Happy Holidays to everyone!!!
