Finally started #framing my #deck. I discovered that my garbage can is just as tall as miter saw on a horse stand. Who can beat that miter saw station idea? Still loving my tool belt from @awp_gear and @fiskarsamericas 28 oz framing hammer. This @radekartphoto production also features @toughduck shorts and quilted vest, @carolinashoe awesome boots and @dewaltsocks. #carpentryprojects #deckproject #teamshorts (at Alexandria, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqa30GEgUxm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=127x4bvdgnk2p

Just another angle of my newly constructed portable track lighting stand, because I always get bloated with pride when something I conceived, designed and built actually works. #diy #doityourself #maker #carpentryprojects #ronhorsley https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo7s3kSHK9I/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1m0ts1syclzyo

THIS makes me happy today. The lighting in the new basement isn’t exactly all that illuminating. And the drop ceiling means I don’t readily have beams to simply nail and hang these track lights. So I got the idea to throw together a Mobile lightstand which would not just let us roll the light around the basement as needed, but could also offer a little extra waist-high self for resting tools on when working on something and you want to keep them close at hand (which around here is almost everything). It’s not ideal—I’m adding the wider base for stability I increased its height, meaning it won’t fit under the overhang beam in the basement. But that can be simply fixed by removing the bottom crossbeam, chop a couple inches off the base, and attach the verticals directly to it. But that’s a fix for my next day off. What I wanted tonight was at least “proof of concept” so I’d know if I just needed to tweak it or if I needed to scrap the whole idea. Honestly this holds up nicely (and putting it together also gave me a crash course in the uneven areas of the basement floor). #diy #maker #carpentryprojects #doityourself #ronhorsley https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo7sVm4n9J1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=laksf79phh6c
