What did you do in your shop today?

I tried some glue in ones awhile back, not these though. I wasn't confident that the glue would hold up to constant washing, decided to stick with the screw in ones.
I want to try it. I'll use rtv and see how that holds up...
 
@Tony I'll take pitty on you.

RTV stands for room temperature vulcanization. It's a type of silicone.
 
Well finally turned something...I think it turned out pretty good...C and C welcome.

The nut is juniper and the cone is spalted live oak with ebonizing solution. Finished with wax n feed.

Not at my shop but....

The boss at work likes to bring in someone to our saw seminars that can teach a class on Sunday and the employees are welcome to take advantage of it.

Spent the morning learning from George Walker about geometry and proportion in design and also how to use those ideas to make a square when you don't have one to start with. And the boss perked me with a signed copy of George's book!

Love the way the nut on that turned out Lou. The imperfections in the stock give it lifelike appearance. Sweet little turn!!
