My list for the month:

Bring the drill press inside and see if I can get the rust off the base. Like the crappy hand plane I derusted a couple of weeks ago, it's been sitting in an unheated shed through several Canadian winters and attracted condensation. It's functional, but the table is a mess.
Do Something with the red oak left over from the desk chair repair (since I had to buy a much longer piece than I needed for that). It will likely be combined with a piece of leftover birch plywood to become a tray, and the leftovers from that will become a wooden mallet.
Attempt to 3D print a fairly complex router base for my Dremel, which is going to be interesting because the available instructions are 1. scant and 2. in German.
