Yeah, I Know how tuff it can be, swingin that much tool!

I just got back in the shop yesterday after finishing my never ending house project! But it's done, came out nice. Now just waiting for a buyer.
So....had to hit the bird some to catch up. I've spent just a few hours on it, but I'm back on it!!! Mundane stuff right now, (cleaning and blasting the inside of doors) but I'll be posting an update soon.

 

WOW that's pretty impressive my man...but you know what they say...long and thin gets too far in--short and thick does the trick!!


Anyway...glad to hear your back to working on your project too! I'm looking forward to seeing another update.

"the horse cock. i laughed when i got it out of my tool box,dads been gone 10yrs but this stupid hammer gave us more laughs when i was a kid"

I gotta be careful at school. I have to remember to call those "bumping hammers".
