Yesterday was the Rural Christmas at the LSU Rural Life Museum. I set up a mobile bench and did some some hand tooling!

My original intent was to build a console table, well undid so much talking that I only got the top, 2 of the 4 legs tapered, and half the aprons finished in the time it should have been done.

I gave up with that and built a toy wooden truck (Kenbo would have been horrified!)

Twenty-something people signed up with interest in classes, I was happy with that.

A lot of pictures were taken but I only ended up with a couple, unfortunately.

Here are a few pics.

Jean,

I have to ask, what is that green machine in the pictures?

Mike,

Thats a steam / treddle lathe from the mid 19th century :smile:

I did a little with it but was having trouble with the belt.
