Man forced to leave workshop for food

WooHoo!
Fall is in the air and shoptime is here--even in north Florida. I went into my shop around 9:30 this morning as usual. Lately I have been exiting before 10:30 drenched in sweat. But not today!!! Nooooo. Today I felt a little light headed, looked at the shop clock and was stunned to see that it was noon!!!!! Outside temp was in the 70s and the shop was downright pleasant. I had my tunes going and was flitting from project to project like a springtime butterfly.

Here is your official notice--time for all galoots to get into the shop and make shavings.

"Springtime Butterfly", eh?

Sounds like you should get that as your new title. Mods??

I agree, though. The cooler weather has allowed me to spend more time in the upstairs portion of the shop. That's where my louder power tools live. I've been cutting panels for a new ceiling. Also, I brought in a few logs and got them rounded on the bandsaw in prep for winter turning.

Loving it!

I have been betrayed by my body like that many times. Starting to get some projects done. I really need to rearrange my shop, it's impossible to work in there.

Last year we had summer, not so much this year, I went out bought a air-con for the workshop. I had to stand in line for the store to open to grab one of the on sale ones. 

Have fun

Yeah, it was finally cool enough to open our windows and shut off the A/C yesterday, and boy does it feel good! I was making spoons and didn't even break a sweat.
