The Garage is Broken

Well, the stuff in it anyway.

I did manage to fix 2 things today, but 2 others broke.

First, a vice I’ve had since college – I think I stole it from Dad, broke. Well it had a good life. It’s odd. There was a hole drilled in the shaft. I guess that was to keep you from stripping out the threads??

Next up, the Catan box I’ve been working on for a while, but had set aside, broke its lid. It’s really odd. I’m pretty sure that what happened is that the thin lid piece, made of 1/8th inch oak glued to 1/8th inch plywood, warped, and broke the oak frame. Well, better now, than after glue-up I guess.
