And move it as it’s in the way of the lathe move. Coffee should be ready, then back to the sequential vortex this project has turned into…

May see if it will fit on the work table the machinists vise is mounted on. It’ll hold it, but will need to clear the stuff on it off first.

Not inside but at least to the front porch. Gonna have to clear an area inside to store it. Want to mount on a table it so I can use it.

More clearing got me to a manual shear and punch that weighs in over 300 lbs. Got it on the hand trucks and managed to get it to the Q-hut.

Pulled it out and moved it around to the 10 x 20 where I’m gonna put a top on it for the miter saw to bolt on to.

Got more stuff cleared out at the barn, but outside this time. Cleared the briers to where I could get to a metal table frame.

Also got to move the lathe in the Q-hut along with everything else on that wall. Most likely another 8+ hours of work. Now to go get milk…

Got most of one side cleared off. Now to get the benchtop cleared off and drawers and bottom shelves cleaned out.

Changed projects of the day. Been clearing off shelving in the barn in preparation to move a work bench from there to the Q-hut.

Like I need another project. 🙁 Problem is I don’t have room to work now. Too much junk in the way. Time to get at it. Back later…

Which means moving the south wall of said porch out a bit. Thinking 3 to 4 feet will give another bench along that side which may be enough.

Need to bolt the saw on a solid platform to stabilize it. Looks like it’s time to extend the work area on the back porch.

Miter saw is somewhat calibrated. Could be better but only with another fence. The cast aluminum one it has is a weak piece of crap.

Tis now time for breakfast (or past), after which I’m gonna go out and finish up some of the other projects started yesterday… 😉

Got off on other projects and then had a friend come by for a bit just prior to dark at which time I didn’t feel like finishing the cleanup.
