My Dash-Board workbench and accessories finally arrived! Love the design and quality of materials and workmanship, can’t wait to start using it!

I have a very nice wife. Very early anniversary gift. In exchange she will be getting a full on custom closet with the works after I finish the office.
Hoy boy Matt...there were probably a lot of genuflections and "but honey" conversations going on for that acquisition. [smile]
But did you ever consider, maybe she just really wants her own FatBoy?
And don't leave out the custom closet...that's also part of the pact with or without the FatBoy and the Lamello.

I have a very nice Fat Bob (not Boy)
It's very custom although it might not look it. I went the Johnny Cash route. Engine, transmission, gearing, suspension you name it I did it and myself too. She has no interest in motorcycles. But surprisingly there was very little " but honey" thrown around for the Zeta. I said I needed it to finish the office and do her closet and that was that.
I made a sys port with the clamex and boy is it easy to use.

I got the Milescraft version from Amazon.com ($9.00) which is almost the same but has two level vials.

I was concerned about the accuracy of the square, so I gave it to our QC manager at work to put on the Nikon comparator. He reported that the 90 degree was dead on, and 45 degree was off by less than 1/2 degree. I think that is acceptable accuracy for woodworking.
All other functions are pretty much the same as the Kreg unit. I did not test the Kreg unit so I don't know the accuracy of that one.

I ended up buying a Rabbit Air 2 to clean the air in my shop. I wish I had bought it earlier, it works great and it is quiet. It really makes a difference.

Nice looking bike Matt... [cool] very [cool]
The first thing that jumps out at me are the Michelins, they look similar to the ones my neighbor recently put on his 996 and 1100 Monster. Those tires look good on your bike. [smile]

A friend of mine lived in a rough neighborhood and he had a Harley. He would wash his bike in front of a neighbor's home who he disliked.
Often, the evening after washing the bike, the neighbor's garage would be broken into. No Harley there though. [big grin]

Oh man, look what arrived today! [cool] I feel like I am in an art gallery. [drooling] Even the packaging is beautiful (fittingly they have used wood shavings as filler, not plastic). [thumbs up]

I am sure I will enjoy using these (as soon as I find the time to spend in the shop, which has been too long).

Just bought one of these after admiring them on too many Korean and Japanese YouTube videos.

Teak dowels for the teak furniture refurbish project. The teak furniture has 6 mm, 8 mm & 12 mm dowels so I purchased 3 foot lengths of 1/4", 3/8" & 1/2" diameter teak dowels. I'll need to turn them down to metric diameters on the lathe.
The prices were reasonable with 2-day delivery service. They also produce spindles and plugs in various materials.

Having been a tool junkie for longer than my kids have been alive little surprises my family regarding my tool purchases. However, I did surprise them today. As a result of this groups influence I have been aware of Wera for a number of years now. I hunt bargains and have put together a nice collection over that time. Today I learned about something I knew little if anything about before today. Wera makes Advent Calendars! Being raised Jewish I barely knew what an Advent Calendar really was let alone that Wera has made some almost iconic Advent Calendars since their introduction in 2010. To add to the ironic humor of this situation I ordered one today on Amazon Deal days for a great deal and it was the 2019 version. I am now officially a fan
.
.This afternoon I was at a local hardware store to get some locks and stuff, and saw they had a couple of viking arms.
They were at a discount in their folder for June, and I asked if they could still sell them at the discounted price.... and they did [big grin]
(It was a bit over 20% below the lowest price of the online toolstores, not like the fake stuff from the facebook adds)

Whoa! That router plane did I (not earned..) get from my gf - I love it. Getting the medium one to add soon. What a pleasure, fun and relaxing thing to use, besides being immensely effective doing exact work..
Check out this bag for those Japanese saws too:https://www.dictum.com/en/saw-cases-baam/saw-and-tool-bag-712896
