I set this up because i'm going to try to do some lithopanes and that is several hour cutting process and I don't want to sit in the shop that long! I had some old b/w video monitors laying around so i hooked it up to a wireless camera i bought from walmart for $59.00 and i put the receiver in the window, ran a rca connector from the receiver to the monitor which sits above my tv so i can keep an eye/ear out while watching football.

There appears to be an armadillo crawling across your table toward the mallet and the lightsabre.

And about the camera and monitor: Pretty slick.

you mean that armadillo with the beard? Thats me! re: the stuff on the table. Do you remember those puzzles as a kid that had 15 numbered squares and 16 spaces and you had to move one at a time to get them to line up numerically? Well i move stuff from one tool top to use it, move it to another to use it, ect. I have too many tools and not enough space.

Did I hear you say "too many tools"?

Shame on you Jack! That just means you need a bigger shop. Now get it right before the wife hears you talking nonsense like that!

:-)

BTW: VERY cool camera setup.

Hey Scott...Now you know what your Godfather looks like...have you made any columns yet?

[scottcox]

I thought that was "fairy botfather". Now we'll have to change it to "hairy botfather". :-)

I just received the bits to cut my aluminum t-track for the indexer. I'll be cutting that this next week, then mounting and shimming it on the table. I should be set to do 2in - 10ft in the round very soon.

You wouldn't say that if i took off my hat (you did note that i was wearing my "Shopbot" hat) I guess i just grew too tall for my hair. Now if i could grow as much on top as is coming out of my ears now!
