Not much but glued some wood strips on the bottom of my lathe way ding guard. They help to keep the wood from moving around when I'm removing/installing a chuck. It's something I've been meaning to do for a long time now.

I find two grizzly catalogs to be just the right height when I have to take the 8 inch chuck off

Looks to be a very handy shed.

Hard to be sure on the photo, but is there much overhang of the roof sheeting beyond the fascia boards? Here conventionally we'd shoot the sheeting half the gutter width past the fascia to keep water off the fascia boards.

Down here in "the land of you can't get that here" they don't (or didn't used to) run the roof sheathing very far past the fascia boards.
My shop and garage roofs tend to drip between the fascia and gutters. 17428

There's about 3/4 inch overhang on them, anymore and I find a ladder bends the material when you need to get up on the roof. Im finding the new asphalt shingles tend to wick water back with that much overhang. Had to put sheet metal strips under the edge of the shingles to get the water off the facia.

Have most of the siding on now, still need to do the gable ends and some battens. Be glad to finish, its getting cold for this sort of work, time to light the boiler and move into the shop.
