time laps moving the drill press in

i picked up another drill press today.  from a junkyard farm, it was sitting on a mobile base made from a sawed off shopping cart.  i saw one of these demonstrated yesterday, it has a really nice power feed mechanism.

i finished a new railing for the back porch today.  i used, off the shelf 2×4’s, and cut off the rounded corners.  the painters will be here in a month to paint the house.

my friend andrae came over today and we planed a bunch of old growth fir for a workbench he is making.  the e-16 made short work of the fir and had no problem with a 10 inch wide very cupped piece of Oregon white oak.
