Let's hear it. No project too big or too small.

Was going to try to get the rust off my father's crappy old hand plane (since restoring it would get me out of having to buy a hand plane of my own for now), but it doesn't look like I'm going to get that far this week. Spent a couple of hours moving books around to clear some shelf space instead.

Edit: Turned out that my actual DIY for the weekend was fixing my computer mouse, which suddenly developed a tendency to jump the cursor randomly to the upper-left corner of the screen. Turns out that it's possible to kill a laser mouse with cat hair if you get enough of it wedged into the little opening on the bottom of the mouse that the laser shines through. And here I thought fluff was only a failure mode for ball mice.
