First picks of Garden 2021! 🍅 (Yeah a little bit later than usual.)

Another wall in the shop now made more useful. Now just need to clear the wood pile on the pallet on the floor and put the planer back in place.

I had thought I had highlighted my WFH setup, but I guess I didn’t. No matter, there have been some updates. Check my IG story highlights for the most recent tour.

A while back I posted that my “favorite at the time” was an auto lock tape measure. I found over time though the locks on the ones I had started to slip. So back to traditional tape locks. Trying these @crescent_tool Crescent Lufkin tapes. I’m diggin’ on the Nite Eye ones especially - they remind me of green text on a terminal screen (remember you’re dealing with a 25 year+ IT guy here). I love the ergonomics / size of the 16’ ones for bench / at tool use and the fact the body offset of the 25’ is exactly 3” - easy to math! (The 16’ body offset is 2 3/4” for reference. Still pretty easy math.) I have an old Lufkin folding rule with sliding brass depth extender that I’ve loved over the years. Let’s see how these do over time.
