Only really get an hour at most in a day at the moment with all the other jobs than need doing round the house but also with the baby who is a welcome time filler!
However today i had a crack at a few things:
1. Set up my dust cyclone with my shop vac and tried it out to clean up all the sawdust i have generated recently. All went swimmingly until my dust container proved unable to take the vacuum and imploded, not in a catastrophic way but its not strong enough to withstand the suction. I am using one of these:

Anyone able to suggest something a bit more robust, not too pricey and easy to get delivered?
2. I managed to complete my sharpening setup and got a few of my cheapo chisels nice and sharp which was pleasing.
3. Made my first ever hand cut mortice and tenon joint. To be honest i had a go yesterday but the result looked awful so today i took my laptop into the workshop and followed a video on youtube step by step and actually i was very pleased how it turned out. The mortice was a little wonky but cleaned up ok.
4. Started putting together the utility/laundry area we have in the basement room thats being decorated. Plumbed in the washing machine and drier, albeit temporarily because i have a huge butler sink to fit down there and will then mover the washing machine next to it and build a wood worktop to go over it. So part of the M&T practice was to see if i can build a sturdy frame to site the sink on and then extend it for the worktop to sit on.
All in all despite only really getting a couple of hours over the weekend, what i did do, i enjoyed!
