Shoulda got your work table there too. That poor thing looks to be struggling....It’s a well-made heavy Craftsman. Remember when top quality tools carried the Craftsman name and could be purchased at Sears?

Looks like woodworking to me. A room roughly 18’x25’ with pine tongue and groove walls. I sanded every board before hanging them, then filled the vertices joints and sanded them and sanded every horizontal groove. The heavy duty sanding is done. After lunch, sweeping and vacuuming then sanding sealer. Oh, and star of this show has been the radial arm saw. That was my Dad’s that he bought in 1968. It’s a well-made heavy Craftsman.

Shows the difference between 50+ year old, made in the USA craftsmanship and 10 year old made in China...but cheap.Shoulda got your work table there too. That poor thing looks to be struggling.![]()
Over the years I have acquired numerous "vintage" typewriter tables from various auctions, garage sales, etc. like this...Shows the difference between 50+ year old, made in the USA craftsmanship and 10 year old made in China...but cheap.
At long last, the epic basement project is finished…from a construction standpoint. Furnishings are yet to be added. Furniture was ordered weeks ago and it will be weeks before it arrives, so no hurry to get the TV up. Besides, I have now embarked upon building a coffee table, end table and console table for under the TV.
The basement consists of a family room, an exercise room a craft room (that will eventually be my office) and a mechanical room/shop. No pics of the craft room or mechanical. The craft room looks just like the exercise room and the mechanical room looks….disastrous. I started in late August ‘20 with thoughts that I would be done by Christmas. I missed that goal by about 8 months. All work of every kind was done “in house.” I would like to extend my sincere thanks to my patient wife and to YouTube.
