This weekend I tackled a couple of electrical tasks that I've been putting off in my shop for a while. I installed an additional florescent light near the garage door to brighten up a dark area of the shop.
I also resolved a long standing issue with my bench grinder setup. I have the bench grinder mounted on a small bench in the hot water heater closet off the shop. There was no plugin in there, so I have been using the grinder with the cord running out the door to the nearest outlet for a long time. This is an obvious tripping hazard, and I have to unplug it when I'm done to close the door.
So I installed a new outlet inside the closet.
These aren't the most exciting tasks, but taking the time to resolve these sort of annoyances just makes the shop more enjoyable to use. Now time to get back to making some shavings!
