At the workbench

New cooling station is in service. New network hard drives need power and ethernet connections. So I made a printer stand. Its purpose is to raise the printer so as to provide somewhere for the new battery backup. Also switched over all the ethernet connections to a new 16 port ethernet switch, and mounted it where the old 8 port device was located. #woodworking #networkhardware #ethernet #homenetwork #scrapwoodproject https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp8ltVduuph/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Assembled a USB powered fan from a pc case cooling fan and an old USB cord. The exacto knife works better than the wire stripper for the tiny wires. This assembly will go into the cooling station I built. #electrical #diy #diyelectronics https://www.instagram.com/p/CpafL0-O6SY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Yesterday, I mounted the coat/hat "hook" boards I'd made previously. They still need to be stained, so they'll come down when it gets warm out. #woodworking #householdimprovements https://www.instagram.com/p/CpaazaZOPJA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Worked on a cooling station for the new network hard drives. This will stack on top of an already existing cooling station. #woodworking #scrapwoodproject #coolingstation #networkhardware https://www.instagram.com/p/CpGg6vFOdkP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Modified the lids for the soap shelves. I cut off the part that stuck out beyond the shelves as it was getting caught/hit during transport and damaging the shelves. Last photo shows original design - which I think looks cooler, but sadly is less practical for transport. #woodworking #modified #blackunicornwood https://www.instagram.com/p/CpGKhgeOw3T/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Big tree limb over the back of our side yard came down this morning; snow came this afternoon #blizzard #snow #tree #buffalo https://www.instagram.com/p/CmhnQm9u5B5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The hot hangout at the home office.... #catsofinstagram #cats #Koga #yurico https://www.instagram.com/p/CmZmlJCOe7V/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sr. & Jr. Office staff picked their rest spots this morning.... #catsofinstagram #cats #yurico #Koga https://www.instagram.com/p/ClyqApXOjyr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Assembled a side for the office supply cabinet. Side will be held together with 1/2" dowels. More dowels to be added after I get a replacement for my awful drill bit. The battered wood will be at the rear of the cabinet, against the wall, so it shouldn't show. It's some of the last of my pandemic wood delivery that was bought without seeing it before delivery.... #woodworkingproject #outsidewoodshop #outdoorworkshop #pandemicwood #cabinet #woodworking https://www.instagram.com/p/CdT4y3LOJdK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Made panels for the sides and back of the planned office supply cabinet. #woodworkingproject #woodworking #outsidewoodshop #outdoorworkshop https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc_cahpupHU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Routed the 2x4s for the office supply cabinet. I'd already taken the four 8' (future) uprights back down cellar when I thought to take pictures. What a mess. I had a lot of sawdust on me too. #woodworking #woodworkingproject #cabinet #routing #sawdust #outsidewoodshop #outdoorworkshop https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb3VR19OhUz/?utm_medium=tumblr

Drawer was crowded so I made a shelf for tape measures. #woodworkingproject #scrapwoodproject #woodworking #workshop #workshopimprovements https://www.instagram.com/p/CbVoJEFOwmU/?utm_medium=tumblr

The wood in my seahorses legs was nicer than some of the pieces I have leftover from my pandemic lumber order, so I took them out and cut new legs. Bonus pic: one of the fallen tree limbs I cut up while I had the circular saw outside #salvage #outdoorworkshop #woodworking #outsidewoodshop https://www.instagram.com/p/CbTX5FPuG1B/?utm_medium=tumblr

Attached again. I hate heights. #homerepair #drainpipe #fixed https://www.instagram.com/p/CbTIg2kupGy/?utm_medium=tumblr

I have a new project 😞 #homerepair #drainpipe #waterfromthesky #oops https://www.instagram.com/p/CbS-XDUuT6j/?utm_medium=tumblr

Part way through the staining process with pecan stain + polyurethane. Plan to finish the rest of the 2nd coat tomorrow. #woodworkingproject #blackunicornwood #staining #stainingwood https://www.instagram.com/p/CausWEGuEZ_/?utm_medium=tumblr

After trimming off the dowels I glued in yesterday, I stenciled the sides (colored pencil). Will do a light stain and polyurethane over all. As things turned out slightly asymmetrical, in matters which side of the cover goes in toward the shelves. #woodworkingproject #blackunicornwood #woodworking #shelves #stencil https://www.instagram.com/p/CaQM93IuABO/?utm_medium=tumblr
