Had a pretty successful day in shop. Made a few bottle stoppers and openers. Also, French rolling pin of walnut.

 

[Karl_TN]

Nice variety. How well do the bottle openers work?

 

[Rocking RP]

Great. Keep one on my work table all time. Like it because it sticks up so it’s easy to find.(not that my work table would be messy)

Got some inspiration from @Courtland today and chucked up this evergreen rootball that had a lot of rotting in the center. This would not be possible without the chuck plate from @Nubsnstubs. It’s going to get interesting when I start on the inside

 

[Courtland]

Good luck!

 

[Nubsnstubs]

Boy, that's pretty gnarly. But, after you get set for the reversal is when it gets spooky a bit. keep it slow, and stay out of that line of fire..... It looks a little like Olive to me. ............ Jerry (in Tucson)

@Nubsnstubs i think I may wrap it in masking tape for the hollowing.

 

[Courtland]

Big chicken ......actually that is a good idea because duck tape or something stronger would probably be strong enough to really tear your wrist apart if something went wrong and it got stuck to the chuck some how and then to your gouge but masking tape would just rip I think but give it enough strength to help it’s to bad the top is not solid you could have done like a football looking hollow form but I bet it looks pretty cool when it’s done the thing that would be hardest for me is it seems pretty deep and I don’t have a hollowing system or anything

I got the hollowing system about six months ago so that should really help. The biggest PIA, I think, will be the sanding.

Got an old trash can you could punch a hole in and slide over your spindle? 5 gallon pail maybe? That looks like it may need containment!!

I made a dremel bit holder. Getting ready to start carving soon....

Moved, and basically just jammed everything in the new space. Hopefully over Holiday break it will get put back together!

Man I can relate to that. And I may do it one more time. Good thing is you can learn from your old set up and make changes to things you just lived with in the old shop.

If you do move again, I want to see a video of that mill going UP the stairs

Lou, a lot of shrink wrap might do it, and you'd be able to see through it. .............. Jerry (in Tucson)
