Making any progress, you slackers? Tell us about it!
Currently putting the finishing touches on a wall-mounted chest of drawers for the workshop, which is holding everything from screws to scrap metal to machinist vices. It’s made of scrap pallet wood and ply and totally hand-tooled (planes/chisels/saws). My workshop is very very small (under 8ft by 9ft) and doubles as my home office, so this baby really frees up major space.
Just the rest of the drawer labels left to do. Not sure if these photos will work, but here goes:
Currently stripping popcorn ceiling on entire first floor, shoring and patching dry wall on all walls and ceiling, painting entire first floor, and replacing most fixtures and rugs. May not sound like much, but it’s full time. First spruce up place has had in 21 years. Also replacing pads and rotors on car when I need to take a brake (intended) from the dust and endless sanding.
Stripping popcorn ceiling
Doesn’t sound like much
These are mutually exclusive. The best case scenario for popcorn ceiling is that it’s a tedious pain to remove, and it only gets worse from there (painted, asbestos, etc.)
though not as home oriented as most posters here, i have a denim jacket i’ve been working on for the past couple months. have been making and sewing my own patches on, and am currently looking at dyeing the sleeves, though i’ve been procrastinating from that a bit ;)
Just moved into a new place, so a lot of things: -Building a compost bin
-Hanging shelves, mirrors, paintings, etc.
-Installing new electrical outlets
-Adjusting doors that are out of alignment
-Reupholstering a few chairs
It’s not much honestly, but in order to make both kids fit in one room I’m making all their furniture from sheets of MDF. This was my very first project, and likely a mistake, but good progress has been made.
Myself, mostly.

Me too, bruh.
I’m about 3 injuries into making Rex Kreuger’s roman workbench. Then we can use that to tech tree up and continuously make nicer workshop stuff.
Growing up, the family joke was that it’s not a project until there’s blood!
4 injuries now, but the end is in sight!
I am currently not installing a ventilation system in the workshop to remove nasty 3d printing fumes. Any day now I will start.
