Sorry. Last weekend didn't pan-out the way I hoped. I started cutting blanks last night and will post something as soon as shaving start to fly.ReverendThom wrote: ↑Tue Nov 07, 2017 9:54 pm???JimVH wrote:I like this thread idea.
Well done on the pen. They make fun projects and cherished gifts. You can make a buck or two with them, also.
I'm starting an order for two dozen bottle stoppers this weekend. Pics to come.

We could have a multi-page thread just on the woops moments I've had turning.ReverendThom wrote: ↑Wed Nov 08, 2017 6:37 amI made this last night. Except I went to put the razor together and realized I left the bushings for the stand on, so I need to put it back on and turn it down some more. Woops.

My skill and knowledge increases by leaps and bounds. I have now fashioned a walnut pipe tamper...

Those are beautiful! Very nice work.
A couple of years ago, I was in contact with a guy who turned beautiful varmint calls. I have several that he made and I got the itch to learn a new skill but didn't act on it. then a short time later, I saw some of Coco's work and he sent me some pics of his projects, Coco is very talented and skilled, and I got the itch again but didn't act on it. Then about 2 years ago I decided to try my hand at wood checkering...I have created some very decorated firewood...not well decorated, but
You guys with skills and talent impress the hell out of me!

Re: Woodturning
One of our board members is a hobby wood turner. He came out this afternoon to spend a little time in the shop with myself, another staff member, and a couple of our students. Personal instruction is worth 100 videos.

Don't worry, I made sure the chin straps on my hat were loose and hanging down... I'm also firmly against safety glasses, as you can see in the following pic:
