The Betty said she wanted to go tool shopping today when I got home from work. Do I have a great girl or what?
Betty got a tool box for hear jewelry making stuff, a rock tumbler, and a wire twister from harbor frieght, and some diamond dremel burs from woodcraft.
I got a drill and driver kit from woodcraft and a plastic hammer for pounding out dents in bicycle fenders from harbor freight.
I also picked up another cushion mat for the shop when we where at Sam's club.

Nice day with the wood turning club. We have some classes so us “helpers” were getting schooled a bit. Also had a new turner with us so we could practice helping and he got free instruction.
Saw this listed and had to record and watch. Remember seeing this many years ago with dad and him laughing so hard....... miss him...

This is day 2 of working in the snow, as a flat bed steel hauler it makes for twice the amount of work dealing with the tarps all day. I'm hoping I dont have to work tomorrow, they seem to always ask me at the end of the day which kinda sucks. I wont say no if they do but I wont like it.
I had a boss who'd wait until quitting time on a Friday to tell me he wanted me to work the weekend.
After he pulled that stunt 2 or 3 times, I started leaving early on Fridays.

That's what he always does to me. But I kinda look at it this way, I'll take their money.I had a boss who'd wait until quitting time on a Friday to tell me he wanted me to work the weekend.
I found when I had employees, Saturday work was time and a half, but I only got half the work from them. ............ Jerry (in Tucson)

That's my plans for the weekend.
Last weekend was train the helpers, we had a class today. 5 students turned their first ever bowls.
And a class on Sunday
And then these greeted me today in the mail. Upgrading my sharpening with CBN wheels. One question: I bought 180 and 350: for touching up bowl gouges, which should be my primary? Thanks in advance.
Today is great,it's over which brings me one day closer to a week off from work and 3-4 days of snowmobiling up north.
I would probably use the 180x for general work, and move to the 350x for finishing cuts.
I've got a 220x, and if/when I get another will probably go finer. If I ever have to do serious regrinding on something, I'd probably put a white wheel back on. Some have said a 220x is too slow for everyday work, but my theory is if it is slower, I'm less likely to screw something up, and gouges will last a little longer removing slightly less with each grinding.
Garry. Super event. Thanks for posting.

Had a crap day at work. I did t even get a lunch. Started a 6am and didnt eat till I got home at 4:45
I went directly to my shop for some therapy. Always makes me feel better.

You know, it's predictable and very sad.
I get up very early, usually around 1-2 AM or so. The bars let out about the same time.
I come downstairs & listen to the radio, and every weekend, there's a bunch of accidents around here.
The radio gives traffic & weather reports every 10 minutes.
I hear the Med-Evac copters come & go to the local trauma center down the road from me.
Every weekend, it's the same thing. The bars let out, people drive drunk, crash, and the next thing I hear is the copters taking them
to the trauma center.
This has been going on as long as I've lived here, about 20 years.
When are people going to learn, you do not drink alcohol & drive.
I say a prayer for each time I hear the copters go by.
Sorry if I am out of line here.
