What Manly Things Did You Do Today?

Kitchen knife needed sharpening. Finally had a moment to get out the whetstone and take care of it.

 

Looks like a WMF?

I had 2 chili dogs with a Genesee.

 

Honestly, I don't know. I think it's a Wuestof, but I'm not sure. It's the house chef's chef knife. I just enjoy doing the maintanance

 

I replaced the broken flapper chain on the upstairs toilet. My husband told me it was broken and no doubt, planned to fix it after a trip to the hardware store. I, however, remembered that we keep a spare flapper chain for just such situations.

 

A couple years back my sister had a pipe burst in her basement from a window being left open. So just prior to the basement being demo'd she had me look over it to see if I wanted to salvage anything. Along with a shelf I picked up for my son I saw a wooden box fixed to the wall used as a storage. It was a Union Explosive Company crate soiled and battered. So after some work prying, banging and pulling; I freed it from its captivity from a damp basement wall and brought it home with me. It sat for quite some time unsure of its fate, but recently I needed a catch for our small kitchen that has very limited storage. I set to work with a little soap, warm water and a rag to clean off the surface dirt, but save the age and patina of this crate. Today, after it's had thoroughly dried I applied teak oil to very thirsty wood.

I'll post some pics when it's dry and ready for use.

 

Looking forward to the pics!

 

Got out the leaf-blower & put on the mulching attachment. I was able to mulch up a couple of tubs of mulch, needed to store my outdoor bonsai over the winter.

 

The Rocking Cradle is almost ready, the only thing that is missing is a “Mobile” with small cute animals hanging over the cradle.

The cupboard in the background have I made in high school 35 years ago ( age 18 ).

You're quite the craftsman, @lottenhem
Beautiful work!

 

This.

Amazing work!

 

Now you need a new spare flapper chain.

 

Bought one last time I went to Lowe’s.

 

Tasting the Christmas Beer that I brewed 2 months ago. 45 litres or 12 Imperial Gallons, should be enough for Christmas Evening

I should hope so!

 

Sounds like it's going to be a heck of a party

 

Honestly, a lot of it will be given to friends. It is spiced with:
Cardamom
Cinnamon
Seville Orange
Star Anise
And it is one of the best I have made.

Im not a beer drinker, but it sounds interesting.

 

Sounds really good!

 

Went to the pistol range & outshot my husband.
