Dining table bench - part 7 -- Cutting the butterfly to size and sanding...
Cleared away some of the stuff in the way of using the band saw.
Connected the vacuum hose to the dust port also...
Cutting the basic shape and leaving the line so that I can sand to the final shape.
Rough cutting close to shape.
Put the sanding station on top of the table saw.
Connected the vacuum to the dust port on the sanding station.
Before sanding.
The sides are pretty rough from the band saw.
Can still see the pencil lines on the top.
Sanded the sides down to the pencil lines and also sanded the top and bottom.
The other edge...
This is the "bottom" of the butterfly.
It's a little rough but it's fine for gluing into the board...
Approximate location of the butterfly...
Will next use a router to rough out the shape of the butterfly on the board.
Marked the orientation of the butterfly (it's not perfectly symmetrical so don't want to mix up the orientation).
A couple of mystery tools...
Didn't know what this is...
Found this online.
Would have never guessed...
Also don't know what this is.
The brand is the Costco house brand.
It looks like a metal scraper...
Found this online...
Miso Ramen & Thermos Mugs...
Made the last batch of miso ramen using the fresh noodles from San Diego...
Made enough for the four of us...
We received a set of four of these thermos mugs for Christmas.
They work very well for coffee and tea.
Keeps stuff hot for a surprising long time...
Have been using them every day!

Monday, December 28, 2020 -- Rain
Overnight, there was some tremendous lightning, thunder & rain.
In the morning, there was a few hours of calm before the rain came again...
It rained for several hours during the day.
Real rain, with some real volume...
I'm guessing that we got 2 to 3 inches.
Pretty rare to get so much rain in less than 24 hours...
More garage rearranging and cleaning...
This ice chest "lives" on a shelf above the air compressor area.
It was empty so I placed some model kits inside.
Since the kits are light but take up quite a bit of space, it's ideal for storing in the ice chest on a shelf (not too much added weight).
The stuff sitting on this flat file need to find better homes.
They're here for now temporarily...
Cleared the rear counter tops, again...
The corner metal cabinet storage rearranged a little bit since the model kits that went into the ice chest came from here.
There's a little bit more space to put some other stuff in this area now. Need to find the right sized items to put here...
The small wall space behind the "chop saw"...
