And proud of it

Michelle and I have come to the conclusion(many years ago) that Anna is a performer. She admittedly isn't the most flexible dancer in the studio, or have all the acro tricks, but (pardon my language) holey shit can this girl turn on the stage presence and rock out a performance. So when Michelle came home with my very own "Dance Dad" swag....I was a happy man. I am a dance Dad, and I'm proud of it...because of her.

Now on to more mundane things, I am still working on cabinetry.

I am afraid not much has changed in the last month, I have made progress on the new rear bench back, this past weekend I was trying to run the 110v wiring through the bench back.

Notice the language I use...

I managed to run the wires with no issues, then I started on creating the top cap for the bench back. All was going along swimmingly. I was cutting the tops with a modest bevel, when tragedy struck.

The table saw busted. To be more specific, the threaded rod responsible for putting a tilt on the cutting blade gave way and I could no longer change the pitch of the blade.

So my 1 hour project turned into a multi hour repair as I had to dismantle the table saw, remake the wood dust skirt(it broke after I took the above pic when I attempted to remove the PVC dust attachment.

I was afraid that there was a weld that busted or something more serious. In the end it turned out to be a retention ring snapped. The bad news was I didn't have a spare....so necessity is the mother of invention. A little picture wire and a few scrapped knuckles, and we were back in business.
