My workshop is once again located on dry land, and I only had to stay up until 4AM pumping water out of the basement twice in a row. Tomorrow I will have to put the whole shop back together (not the easiest task), and production should be up and running by Friday.

On an unrelated note, the cost of tool black is appallingly high. Oh, the price we are willing to pay to make new things look old. . .

New England is being obliterated by a massive nor'easter right now. High winds and some of the most incredible flooding I've ever seen in this area. The real problem for me, though, is that my workshop is currently flooded out. I had to tear it apart at high speed to save my tools and supplies from water. It'll be a bit before I can rebuild it.
