The Garage Engineer's Journal
A blog about tinkering, open source, and those experiments that we all do in our own little "labs".

I have been lazy. I have had a few days off from work and have been knocking out build projects on my list and have not video recorded any of them. Sometime you just need pure workshop building time to relax. I did get one picture of my Dust Deputy set up. I was going to build one similar to Jay Bates' plan but my vac stay mostly under my table saw so this is a better set up. But I do have plans to add to this set up which I might record later. #ABC #AlwaysBeCutting #thegarageengineer

This is not a filter. . Major smoke has blown into town from a north Georgia wildfire. It has been smokey all day and is getting worse.

This is not a pocket dump but I wanted to share my new EDC (every day carry). It is an 1882-o Morgan Silver dollar. I carry it because I think it is neat to carry a piece of history that is over 135 years old. Plus I want to think it rode in the pocket of a cowboy during his travels out west to concure the new frontier. #edc #thegarageengineer

That is not a birthmark on my right forearm. It is a silver nitrate stain I got from developing tintype photographs last weekend. It keeps catching my eye throughout the day and makes me think that would be a cool location for a tattoo. Well for now I have the stain till my skin regenerate. #nowashingoff #direstatintype #tintype4life #thegarageengineer

Look at my new home screen. Imgur has high res movie posters with the texted removed. Makes great lock and home screens. So cool. Here is one link. 60 more textless movie posters (some of my favorites/some just interesting). If you're looking for a specific poster, check comments for link to a 1000+ collection. http://ift.tt/2dqvaeX

My neighbors got a new (old) bandsaw. I haven't had time to go talk to them to get full specs. But it is atleast 10 feet tall. I think it is a metal cutting saw.

I think my family likes eating rice. There was a shortage of these sprinkles. My mom was nice enough to order us some through the mail. if you kids don't eat rice, sprinkle some of this on it and they will never stop.

Quick and dirty screw caddy. Always a good day when you can build something from the scrap pile. Used @spax_usa #6 hardwood screws on plywood and no predrilling was needed and no layer seperation.Time saver. #thegarageengineer #ABC #AlwaysBeCutting

If you are not HVLP spraying, you don't know what you are missing. So easy and the finish looks so much better than brush marks. Clean up isn't that bad either and I'm using oil primer so I have to use mineral spirts. Harbor fright gun is all you need. #ABC #alway#thegarageengineer
