The House of Orange

[Fish Styx]

I got an early start out in the workshop (aka garage) this morning. Trying to make up for lost time with the controller cabinet. I sanded (80 grit) and filled in all of the screw holes and imperfections in the cabinet and started assembling the door. As it would turn out, I was 3/8" too wide on the cross members for the door, so I had to trim them a bit. Not to worry! I repurposed a paint stirrer and fashioned two new tongues. Additionally, my router table is a death trap. Seriously: I'm surprised that I still have all of my fingers. Anyways, the tongues on the other side are slightly over 1/8" wide as opposed to 1/4", so I am using the same paint stick to make them wider. This way it will ensure a snug fit inside the grooves. Just waiting on the glue and filler to dry now. Here are some progress pics. More to follow later today.

Do you lack a random orbit sander?

Nope. I'll be using it to sand everything down once the filler dries. Gotta hit all of the edges and stuff too. I just used paper because there wasn't a lot to do yet.

The inspection will take the longest. That's juat a waiting game. Hopefully they move fast by you. Near me, you can lose days to them.

they are pretty good here...It was getting the TJI and GLBs that took long. Got them about 2 months ago... Waited for price to come down. Mid last year was over 18K...

Are you working in your socks?!

Hahahaha. No. Those are toe shoes. They are my garage "slippers".

I'll allow it.

What I cant get over and I have never said anything, is the orange spray paint you got on your garage floor. If I was the dainty dictator, I would not be please with you.

Oh, there's orange, blue, white, gray... assorted glues and adhesives, lacquers, you name it. That's where I go to build stuff and work out. It should smell like feet, sweat, and sawdust. Besides, I converted one of the bedrooms into a giant walk in closet / dressing room for her. I think a littlle spray paint on the floor of the garage can slide.

The new tongues being clamped and glued into place, with a bonus close up of my shoe to prove to @rmorris_14 that I'm not working in socks

The photo also proves that you aren't really using that bench for working out.

[Reeflix]

Okay, you asked for them, here they are! The orange lens, for note, is a game changer!! MOAR Pootie Monday!! I have to work on my photography skills. lol. I couldn't get one with her dorsal fin fully up. Her markings and yellow ccoloration is vibrant and stunning for a convict her age. She's also a chonker, so I tried to get a belly shot. Hahaha

[tbrown]

Hahahaha. No. Those are toe shoes. They are my garage "slippers".
