today started off great, i had robs neck hanging and thought about spraying some more, i had his 2nd guard in the works. i made a fendervillager neck template, and started work on the body template.
keep in mind that i have(had) 2 sanders a table router adn a scroll saw on one table (30X60)
i was working the pg templer for the 12 string on the rotary sander and it sways back and forth ever so slightly, always has.
well today the leg decided to give out on my, and everything, IMEAN FUCKNIG EVERYTHING! came crashing down to the ground, im so glasd i wear steal towed shoes.........
but anywho, along with all that machinery, the villager neck, and robs guard were on the far end of the table, they are fine.
basiclly here is where everything stands, i need to get a new table, the 6x9 sander is dead, it had died yesterday but today during the fall the swing arm boke off.
the rotary sander should be ok, altho i have not checked it, the scroll saw table went all out of whack and the buttom broke off(FUCK!)
the table router survived with out a scratch. the villager has a new nick, but its 50+ years old so it doesn't matter, and robs guard is fine.

on top of that the slave wheel on my bandsaw is warped a bit and causing the blade to move radically, and then eventually it pops off, every time, all the time.
so anyone that is expecting stuff. robroe,bassingtom, and i think there is another person but i can't think of them at the moment.
shit is going to bet a few days late, i need to get this mess sorted first.
i went table hunting for 5 hours and found jack shit.

He needs even MOAR now. Sorry to hear it. I would be pissed and fuming. What a drag. Look on Craigslist. Oh yeah--no driving today. I have a steel guvment table in my garage somebody set out by the curb. It is impenetrable. I don't know why anyone would need something that sturdy. But it's too big to move around easily.

yeah, i can't re-inforce slanted metal legs tho, i would have liked to put 2X4's across thebottom, but it would not have made much difference becuz of the slant/size of the legs and the durability of the 30 year old partical board they were screwed into.

like i said, im glad that i have stealed toed shoeson, it was sort of in slow motion, if you notice that blue tote thing has a crease it is, it hit there first and tipped towards me, so it was a two part break, like the titantic......... :lol:
bassingtom, that sounds like a little piece of heaven, im going to hit up trinity mission outlets today, they are a crazy christian fanatic place, i got my conn orgon there for about 20 bucks, the only thing that gets me is they MAKE you take a bible with every purchasem granted the bible is free but its still kinda weird.
' THANK YOU SIR, DID YOU GET YOUR FREE BIBLE TODAY SO YOU MAY ENJOY THE SPLENDORS OF HEAVEN"
"no, thank tho miss, i have one someonewhere"
"OH YOU NEED ONE!"
