Re: How to NOT surprise the wife

Moved the drill press and the saw into the dining room today.

I thought I could get away with it but the table (fold out) in there just cant hack the saw.

Too cold outside.. but i did get some work done today

Re: How to NOT surprise the wife

LOL I'd get castrated if I set up shop in the dining room.

I keep my cars, batteries and radio in the rec/entertainment room in the basement and the rest of my gear in the garage when it's cold. when I need to work on something, I bring in what I need from the garage and use my coffee table as the work bench. I have a 6ft table in the same room that I use as my computer work bench but i've been slowly clearing it off to make it the new work bench for my rc cars. If I dont feel like working on it at home and want to give it a good test run, I'll bring everything to the track and work on it there. I built my buggy at the track and it was handy because I purchased some upgrades and odds and ends that I needed while I was building it.

I guess the only solution to come out alive when do something like this is to give the wife your credit card and have her buy any new table she wants.
