So there's cold and then there's really scary cold!  This was the actual temperature this morning!  These temperatures always scare Jim for all the house utilities but we're all safe and comfy inside.

Jim started working on attaching the Formica to the edges of his table saw side table today...

Using the router to trim...

This black is going to look so good! 

Then he glued on the long side and is trimming it...  He wants to wait and get more contact cement before he does the table top just to make sure he doesn't run out in the middle of working on it.

Then it was back to working on lights in the metal shop - 2 attached to the ceiling!

Last one up...

Every time Jim orders these lights, they seem to make them cheaper.  He needs to cut a hole in the end for his conduit to go in - they have a small breakout but it is extremely close to the edge.  Jim used his metal bandsaw and his step bit and was able to enlarge the hole...

You can see how the conduit will fit...

Gluing the conduit pieces on...

Jim spent a long time helping carry dish tubs up and down the stairs and then restocking everything on my cool dish storage rack.  It was time to put the Christmas ones away and get the Depression glassware back out and put in the hutch.
