I added five new branch circuits to the garage. One 240V and four 120V. All of them 20A. All of them GFCI per NEC requirements. I briefly contemplated using the cheaper non-GFCI breakers but my wife convinced me that I’m worth it 😎

Last week I posted a picture of a wood necklace that I made. The hard part of that is thickness sanding the thin wood strips. Since I'm about to make some more of those and I don't have a thickness sander, I decided to make a jig for my oscillating spindle sander, allowing me to use it to thickness sand those thin strips. Works well. The jig consists of a baseplate that attaches to the table of my sander. There's a fixed fence, with a movable fence hinged to it. Distance between the two is controlled by a threaded knob-screw, that runs through a threaded insert installed into the fixed fence. A small wood cap on the end of the screw keeps it from digging into the movable fence. You don't have to have an oscillating spindle sander to use something like this. There are drum sanders available, which can be installed in any drill press. A jig, similar to the one I made, could be attached to the drill press table, allowing thickness sanding of thin strips.

I am getting back into woodworking that I have not done in 13 years. A little sawdust and a couple more projects coming to life in the shop! There’s just something special about taking a piece of wood and turning it into something that can bring a smile or share a little faith.

I’ve been gearing up to buy a PCS from sawstop but now that Harvey showed off the dream saw maybe I’ll wait. What do folks think?

I made this book holder with scrapwood I had, never thought it would look this good and work perfectly
