How's she goin'? Thanks Mike, for your continued intercessions. May God Bless you brother!! And thanks for tuning in and supporting the channel. Take care!!
Wow what an awesome idea. You never fail to amaze me. You come up with the neatest ideas. The workshop is looking awesome. Love and prayers to you and Janet
How's she goin'? I built a desk for Janet a long time ago and made a pencil tray like this so for it so I figured I needed one too. It turned out not too bad eh! Thanks for watching and love and prayeys to you too Cathy!!
How's she goin'? Thanks Kenny!! I don't use feather boards very often but they do come in useful by times. Like in this case!! Thanks for watching. Take 'er easy!!
Kenny, if you look closely, you can see Mike's pet squirrel watching from the shelf behind him. He made a hollowed-out board (just like this) and lined it with wool for the little guys to stretch out in to watch Mike work. Of course, he doesn't work that much, so they have a soft stop to rest while he naps.🐿
@@GrampiesWorkshop Then how do you explain all the little squirrels you hand-feed every day? Come down off your mountain, Mike and just embrace the obvious: You love squirrels and your secret is out!
How's she goin'? Thanks so much for your nice comment and for stopping by the shop. I appreciate you watching. This pencil holder is working out great I must say!! Take care and please come back again soon!
What a great job you are doing. I never knew what a time & talent consuming job it was to make some drawers but they sure turned out ' top drawer' really. Can't wait to see them finished. See you Tuesday. Love ya😮
Good morning Mike, pretty slick way to carve out the pencil holder. Your workshop cabinets are top notch. We enjoyed the video with our morning coffee ☕️👋😎😎🤚☕️
How's she goin'? Thanks Ben!! The pencil holder is working out pretty nice. All I have to do now is remember to put the pencil back there when I'm finished with it!! LOL Glad you enjoyed your coffee and thanks for watching. Take 'er easy!
Hello Grampie. It was very interesting watching you make the pencil holder. Great job, I like it. Thanks for the video and have a great weekend my friend 🔧👍
Hello there Artie!! Thanks buddy, I'm glad you enjoyed it! It seems I am forever looking for a pencil in the shop. So now, if I can remember to put them back in the drawer, I should be able to find one when it's needed!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
Good day eh!! Thanks Jim. I like having this tray run along the side edge of the drawer. Really works good when sitting at the computer table. Take care and thanks for watching!!
How's she goin'? Yes the pencil slot on the desks and the hole for the ink wells too!! A lot has changed since then eh!! Thanks for tuning in and take 'er easy!!
Great video Mike I wish I could do some mods to my shop. But my health issues get in the way. I have all I can to make UA-cam videos and repair garden tractors plus keep my tractors running.
How's she goin'? Thanks Bob. As we get older, or as I like to think of it "more mature', we sure do appreciate it when we can get into the shop and actually do some physical work. Keep at it Bob. If you stop doing projects, it'll be hard to start up again. Take care!!
Mike, Your cabinets look beautiful!! Your shop looks like a new one already! I’ve got a great idea, enter it in one of those before and after contests…you’d win for sure 🏆🥇🏆! Tell Janet I’m looking at my angels as I write this! Keep up the great work and when you’re all done Bill wants to know if you two would like to come visit for a while…a long while 🤗🇺🇸🙏🏻. Love to you both❣️
How's she goin'? Thanks a lot Cathy!! The bench turned out pretty nice and I have some other 'mods' scheduled for the bench in the future! A before and after contest eh!! That would be interesting. This part of my shop is looking not too bad, but you should see the rest of it! It's getting hard to walk to the other side. And as I do these 'mods' I need to find tools and parts and pieces and that is getting to be a real challenge because everything is every where and I can't remember where half of it is and I forgot that I have the other half!! LOL I told Janet you were looking at the angles and she smiled and said Hi!! Tell Bill if my shop ever gets finished I'd love to come for a visit and we could build a bench in his shop!! LOL Take 'er easy and God bless you both!!!
@@janetdickson4451 And he is very lucky to have an amazing wife like you! Thanks again so much for all my goodies. I use the stylus’s ever day🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❣️ And look up at three of the most beautiful angels I’ve ever been given. You are my dearest friend Janet and you mean everything to me. Please take care of yourself 💕💞💗🌷❣️
Nice job on the pencil holder. I'm telling you you are going to have a super shop when you're done. I am really enjoying the shop upgrade videos. I hope all is well with everyone and we'll be praying for you guys.
How's she goin'? Mighty nice of you to continue to remember us in your prayers Ronnie. God Bless you!! This pencil tray is going to be nice. Makes it a lot easier to find those all elusive pencils when you need one eh!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
How's she goin'? Thanks Lloyd! Before I had this 'spot' I had papers and pencils here there and everywhere. Now I should be at least able to stuff them all in this drawer and they'll be out of site! LOL Take care!!
How's she goin'? I was always searching for a pencil and I knew I had plenty of them. Now they have a home!! LOL Take 'er easy and thanks for dropping by!!
I've missed some videos! Bench is looking awesome, plane tickets are on the way for you to build here at the Cay! Have a great weekend Mike and Nannie! 🌴😊👍🍁
Great job on the concave. The table saw is a great tool. I did notice your sanding skills, it is hard to stop when you are having fun. Worth the effort for the pencil holder. Thanks Mike. Stevo
How's she goin'? Ha Ha Ha! I figured you would take note of the sanding part Stevo!! LOL Thanks for the encouragement!! I like pencil holder!! Take care!!
How's she goin'? Great to have you comment Brian. I was missing ya buddy!! Thanks for commenting. The bench is a big improvement over the old version that's for sure eh!! Take 'er easy!!
You gotta be efficient Mike! Lol. Love watching this workbench series. It is going to be a masterpiece one it’s fine tuned. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.
How's she goin'? Thanks a lot for the comment and the watch Mike. I'm spending a lot of time on the bench, but I figure I'll never have this opportunity again so I'm making the most of it! LOL Take 'er easy!!
I remember the teachers drawer full of all the stuff that was confiscated throughout the school year. Marbles, sling shots, hotwheels cars, anything you were caught playing with when you weren't supposed to be playing. Great idea and nicely executed. I don't think you'll ever have to worry about it falling out of the drawer lol
How's she goin'? Thanks Tom. Now I know where to find a pencil when I want one!! LOL Thanks for the visit and comment. I hope you have a great week end too!!
Awesome G《☆》Nice Work Brother👍🏾🍺🤳A hollerd out 2×4 & Belt Sanders are always Kool in my book🍔Our Teachers didn't have Straps but the Dean of Boyz had a wicked Paddle😬made of Lexan with holes drilled in it✌🏼😁☯️
How's she goin'? Wow Bdog, you seem to know some pretty clear details about that paddle. How did you come to find out that info? LOL Thanks for watching. Take 'er easy!!
@@GrampiesWorkshop 《☆》His last name was Martin. He liked to be called Dean Martin😁He had the best looking, most popular Female Students working in his office. I guess he liked to spread rumors about the Paddle to deter Troublemakers. I did get some swats for being outside school grounds during class once. He said take everything out of your back pockets son✌🏼😎☯️
Love the pencil holder. I've never seen anyone cut boards like that without using some kind of a sled. I don't think I'm brave enough to try that on my saw, but I do love that you now have a place to store and find your pencils. Your bench is coming together very nicely!
How's she goin'? Thanks for the nice comment. With the fences I set up on the saw it was almost like having a sled. It worked out pretty good and now all I have to do is remember to put the pencils back in the drawer!! LOL Thanks for watching!! Take 'er easy!!
How's she goin'? Thanks Wallace. I'm really liking the bench!! A few more ideas for it, but before that I have to get the shop organized again so I can make some of those ideas!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
Oh my, The strap. I was fortunate I only got it 3 times. Spit balls across the room. One time hitting my english teacher in the back of her head. Unintentionally. So many folks have no idea what a tablesaw can do. I have a 90 deg slide for mine that is great for cheek cuts and so much more, Pannel slides etc. This tray is great. Handy as can be and at a good size that suits the drawer. A stop about 1/2 way works great to keep things from sliding into the back end when closing the drawer. All the best to you and Nannie J and have a great weekend my dear old friend. You know that being an electrical type fella your a damned fine cabinet maker eh.
How's she goin"? Thanks Dean!! Yes the strap ... you know I only ever 'saw' the strap in the teacher's desk and never had is used on me!! Now here's another good story, the Leafs will win the cup!! LOL That's a good idea about the stop for the pencil tray. I'll have to see about that one. The table saw is very versatile for sure. I guess that's why it's probably the most popular power tool for a wood shop!! Thanks for the visit Dean. Take 'er easy!!
That's an awesome idea on how to hollow that out.......never tired that before but will have to now.........Wow, I really like that Mike.......thanks for the idea.......8 screws maybe excessive......LOL.......great mod and I love it Mike..thanks....
Great mod to your workbench. I'm jealous, your pencil tray is much longer than the one you made for my desk years ago! Mine still gets lots of use but never had a strap in it lol!
@@GrampiesWorkshop When we were kids corporal punishment was often the norm at school and in homes but u fortunately was often taken too far. Very different these days
Hello Mike. That was a really cool way to get that concave in that board. I never saw that before. You learn something new every day lol. It looks great.
How's she goin'? Thanks John. Many years ago I built a desk for Janet and made a pencil tray for the drawer with this same technique. Yeah it works pretty good but you have to go slow with raising the blade!! Thanks for watching. Take 'er easy!
Indeed, ask any teacher how in the world does a couple dozen pencils suddenly disappear from the pencil holder on the teacher's desk at the end of a week! LOL Marvelous mod for sure...and I anticipate a few more on their way! LOL Cold is coming and I bet you are keeping toasty warm in the shop now! Take good care!
How's she goin'? I laughed when you mentioned about asking a teacher about missing pencils. Janet was an elementary school teacher and every week she would stop in the dollar store and but a dozen pencils and she was forever sharpening them!! LOL I am staying nice and warm in the shop. I have the Heat Pump set at 12 and it's just so nice and warm in there now. I love it!! LOL Arrf Arrf Otis and take 'er easy!!
We did not have marbles but we still have the concave in the desks. That was very clever how you used the sawbench to create the concave. It looks great
How's she goin'? Thanks Joseph. Way back when I was in school, and the history books were on 1/2" think, every spring all us kids would have a pocket full of marbles and we would play 'marbles' in the school yard. Of course when we came back to class we were always fussing with the marbles. Well the teachers would get mad because we would drop them on the floor and what not, so they would take the marbles form us and put them in their desk and usually in this tray!! LOL Ah yes, the good old days!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
How's she goin'? Thanks Dave!! It's nice to know where pencils are, or should be. Now I need to remember to put them back in the drawer when I finished with them! Every solution has a problem!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
Mike your mod turned out great and will keep your pencils exactly where you want them. I do remember seeing the concave area of the teachers desk but thankfully I never saw the ‘strap’ but merely the talk of it was scary enough 😂. Have a great week Brother!
How's she goin'? So you're trying to tell me you never got the strap!! OK Brother, I'll go with that!! LOL This is a great place for keeping my pencils. Now all I have to do is remember to put the pencils back here when I finish with them!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
How's she goin'? Ha Ha Ha! In fact Jason, it happened the other way around. I built Nannie a desk a long time ago and put a pencil tray in it just like this one!! So I'm the 'follower' on this idea!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
Hello there Vernon!! I am forever looking for a pencil or a pen and I was sitting at the computer the other day and thought, why not make a pencil tray!! It turned out pretty good and it sure is handy for finding a pencil!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
How's she goin'? What a great idea Nev!! A lid on this drawer and I could just turn my chair to the side, pull out the drawer and start drawing or writing. I like it! Now I have an idea for the '2nd mod' to the bench!! LOL Thanks for watching. Take 'er easy!
BIG LIKE 84 for you Mike! I have some catching up to do….Mrs. Betty, my son and I have been busy getting The Ole Church ready for winter….lots of projects!
How's she goin'? Welcome to the channel. I have lots of pencils in the shop but could never find one when I needed it. Now I can!! LOL I'm glad you enjoyed the video!! I hope you can come back often. Take 'er easy!!
You remember the strap, eh? I thought so! If you make the pencil holder 24 inches long, that's a big pencil. I just had a wonderful idea! If you apply this same technique to a tree log, you could make a canoe! Very clever idea, Mike. All the best and hello to Nanny. (and a pat for all the little squirrels, rabbits and balonies around the lake) 🐰🐰🐰🐿🐿🐿🍖🍖🍖
How's she goin'? A 24 inch long pencil, wow. I heard that Trudeau's (spit) wife left him because she found out all rulers don't have 12 inches!! Now that came from CTV so you have to take it with a grain of salt. Freeland (spit) seems to be pretty pleased with whatever she thinks a ruler has!! Take 'er easy!!
@@GrampiesWorkshop It's a family show and there's no need to talk dirty! You mentioned Trudeau (spit) and Freeland (spit) in the same sentence. That's outrageous!
@@GrampiesWorkshop Well, that's OK. Because there's another Wild Man (spit) in Ottawa who says HE'S Staying on to lead his party to defeat in the next election. So be it!
Very clever! I'd never thought of that... very nice job! I looked for your email the other day, I thought it had it but couldn't find it. Anyways, I was Just wanting to let ya know i did finally get me a little tractor. Not your fav color orange though 😅 but anything that ain't green is good in my eyes..lol.. my brother and I went in and got a kobota bx23 with backhoe... looking forward to putting it to use here.. anyhoot. Good stuff Mr. Mike !!
How's shews goin'? Thanks for the comment Vic. Oh baby, you and your brother will get a lot of use from the BX especially with the hoe attachment!! I wish I had gotten a hoe when I bought mine!! BTW, my e:mail is grampie283@gmail.com. Take 'er aesy!!
Great pencil holder. The surprise to me was with a say 10” blade you could end up with such a deep groove! I guess all relating to the initial angle of your support pieces, interesting. I wonder what that angle to your blade was that for those support pieces?
How's she goin'? It's so nice to have you commenting. Thanks!! The angle of the guides was established by eye. I'm not sure of the angle. I just eyeballed it so that it looked like the blade would almost touch the edges and the bottom and went with that. You have to make sure you don't try and cut too much at a time though because the blade will end up burning the wood. I was raising the blade about 1/8" at a time. Thanks again for watching and commenting. Take 'er easy!!
Nice mod mike, but you know one mod leads to another!😂 Now what are you going to do with the old pencil holder? 🤔 I see more upgrades coming my friend!! 👏🙏🙏
How's she goin'? Ha Ha ha!!! You know Roger my biggest fear right now is that I'll get caught up making little mods and tweaks to the bench and never get back to reorganizing the shop!! LOL Thanks a lot for commenting and watching. Take 'er easy!!
Nice thats going to work great! We are always praying for you and Nannie 🙏🙏🙏

How's she goin'? So you're trying to tell me you never got the strap!! OK Brother, I'll go with that!! LOL This is a great place for keeping my pencils. Now all I have to do is remember to put the pencils back here when I finish with them!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
I think is great and nannie is thinking when she gets one lol no hiding now that you showed you can do cabinet
How's she goin'? Ha Ha Ha! In fact Jason, it happened the other way around. I built Nannie a desk a long time ago and put a pencil tray in it just like this one!! So I'm the 'follower' on this idea!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
winner, winner chicken dinner Thanks Mike
Good day eh!! This pencil tray is pretty handy. I like it as much as the new bench set up!! LOL Take care!!
Good job Mike
How's she goin'? Thanks again Bob. Take 'er easy!!
Sweet!
How's she goin'? Thanks. If you have any pencils and they need a resting place, this is the spot!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
that was a very slick idea.. good job .
Hello there Vernon!! I am forever looking for a pencil or a pen and I was sitting at the computer the other day and thought, why not make a pencil tray!! It turned out pretty good and it sure is handy for finding a pencil!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
Hi Mike, nice job. Now you just need to make a lid so you can use it for a writing desk
How's she goin'? What a great idea Nev!! A lid on this drawer and I could just turn my chair to the side, pull out the drawer and start drawing or writing. I like it! Now I have an idea for the '2nd mod' to the bench!! LOL Thanks for watching. Take 'er easy!
BIG LIKE 84 for you Mike! I have some catching up to do….Mrs. Betty, my son and I have been busy getting The Ole Church ready for winter….lots of projects!
How's she goin'? I bet you're busier than a one armed lobster pot baiter!! LOL Thanks for dropping by Garry and take 'er easy!!
Enjoyed that, nice mods👍
How's she goin'? Welcome to the channel. I have lots of pencils in the shop but could never find one when I needed it. Now I can!! LOL I'm glad you enjoyed the video!! I hope you can come back often. Take 'er easy!!
You remember the strap, eh? I thought so! If you make the pencil holder 24 inches long, that's a big pencil.
I just had a wonderful idea! If you apply this same technique to a tree log, you could make a canoe! Very clever idea, Mike. All the best and hello to Nanny. (and a pat for all the little squirrels, rabbits and balonies around the lake)

How's she goin'? A 24 inch long pencil, wow. I heard that Trudeau's (spit) wife left him because she found out all rulers don't have 12 inches!! Now that came from CTV so you have to take it with a grain of salt. Freeland (spit) seems to be pretty pleased with whatever she thinks a ruler has!! Take 'er easy!!
@@GrampiesWorkshop It's a family show and there's no need to talk dirty! You mentioned Trudeau (spit) and Freeland (spit) in the same sentence. That's outrageous!
@@EverydayProjects Sorry, Sometimes my inner 'wild man' gets out!!
@@GrampiesWorkshop Well, that's OK. Because there's another Wild Man (spit) in Ottawa who says HE'S Staying on to lead his party to defeat in the next election. So be it!
Very clever! I'd never thought of that... very nice job! I looked for your email the other day, I thought it had it but couldn't find it. Anyways, I was Just wanting to let ya know i did finally get me a little tractor. Not your fav color orange though 😅 but anything that ain't green is good in my eyes..lol.. my brother and I went in and got a kobota bx23 with backhoe... looking forward to putting it to use here.. anyhoot. Good stuff Mr. Mike !!
How's shews goin'? Thanks for the comment Vic. Oh baby, you and your brother will get a lot of use from the BX especially with the hoe attachment!! I wish I had gotten a hoe when I bought mine!! BTW, my e:mail is grampie283@gmail.com. Take 'er aesy!!
Good evening Grampie and Nannie!
How's she goin'? Great to have drop by again Gary! Say hi to Barb and take 'er easy!!
Great pencil holder. The surprise to me was with a say 10” blade you could end up with such a deep groove! I guess all relating to the initial angle of your support pieces, interesting. I wonder what that angle to your blade was that for those support pieces?
How's she goin'? It's so nice to have you commenting. Thanks!! The angle of the guides was established by eye. I'm not sure of the angle. I just eyeballed it so that it looked like the blade would almost touch the edges and the bottom and went with that. You have to make sure you don't try and cut too much at a time though because the blade will end up burning the wood. I was raising the blade about 1/8" at a time.
Thanks again for watching and commenting. Take 'er easy!!
Nice mod mike, but you know one mod leads to another!😂 Now what are you going to do with the old pencil holder? 🤔 I see more upgrades coming my friend!! 👏🙏🙏
How's she goin'? Ha Ha ha!!! You know Roger my biggest fear right now is that I'll get caught up making little mods and tweaks to the bench and never get back to reorganizing the shop!! LOL Thanks a lot for commenting and watching. Take 'er easy!!
