Against my better judgment we drove to Hudsonville to collect a free dresser. The place looked like a bomb site, crap was all over the place. Apparently the owners were moving, but they had a lot of stuff to get rid of. We loaded up the piece, sat in the truck and bathed ourselves with sanitizers before driving back.
It was too hot to do the yard work I had on my list, instead we finished off painting the French Provincial dresser.
I had restrained the top and added a sealer leaving it to dry in the heat.
The other thing that has been nagging at me for ages is a old router that stopped working a long time ago. It was one that I inherited from Dave and could be classed as an antique, as were most of his tools. I think it got a bit hot during a cut and stopped working. It was a good router that was fitted in a small stand.
There was no thermal cutout in it like some modern tools have, so I put it on a shelf and found another on EBay.
For a time it was working perfectly, but yet again I might have been marking a deep cut, and it to overheated and stopped working.
Now I had two identical routers on the shelf that kept looking down at me.
I have others, but these fitted the table perfectly and I don’t like the thought of throwing them away.
Since I missed finding the faulty wire fault on the fan, maybe I should start there. If that doesn’t work I will try to find someone who could repair them, maybe the fan man might be able to help?
