Good to see you're back in the Shop Lou! Do you just use the keychain hardware after you put the ashes in the urns?
What did you do in your shop today?

Project pause. Ran outta wood.
@Tom Smart Looks like an implosion cutting board happening! I'm still working on the floating squares but just about out also.
Fixed the issue yesterday, @Wildthings, so back in business. I get my boards from a yard run by Mennonites in Western MD, it’s about 70 miles away but a nice country drive, especially this time of year. You can pick from their stacks, they will plane and edge it for free and the prices are really reasonable.
OK OK, sheesh. Not the best storage solution but I’m outta space.
:drool::drool:
58 pieces now ready for glue and clamps.
Do you buy your glue in 55 gallon drums?

Yay! I got some shop time today.
I worked on the skeet bowl some more. I really like this wood, smells nice too!
Finished the bottom side.
Then flipped it to hollow out the top side.
I stopped to sharpen a carbide cutter. It has been .any turnings since its been sharpened. Wow, what a difference it made.
I mixed up some more epoxy to fill a grub hole on the inside, also sealed some very fine cracks with CA. Decided to add an accent ring with the epo y because it looks so nice with the skeet.
Thats all for today, maybe I can get it back on the lathe tomorrow.

No, but I do get a discount at Woodcraft.
These 2 panels are larger than I’ve done before. I’m at full extension on the pipe clamps. 470mm x 810mm. Won’t fit the Dewalt planer, nor the 16/32 drum sander in one pass. And yeah, they were a real PITA to glue up.
I got this "floating squares" cutting board ready for the final glue up. I frankensteined this one together from maple, mahogany and walnut
Gonna have to be extra careful gluing that one up, Barry.
Yes and then seal the screw cap.
Frequent Gluer-Upper status!!
Wow! The bottom of that bowl is fantastic. Hope the inside turns out as well for you.Yay! I got some shop time today.

Worked on the skeet bowl. I let it sit overnight to let the epoxy cure more.
Then I chucked it up on the lathe.
After finishing the inside I reversed it in the cole jaws to remove the mortise for the chuck, its just how I like to do it.
Mortice gone and sanded to 400.
I like to add detail rings to my bowl bottoms for a little more interest when you turn them over to look at them.
Finish and wax applied.

Looks Great! Love the filling you did and the soft glow you got from the finish is fantastic. What are you using for finish? Oil and wax, or something else?
BTW, you're killing me here, where's the money shot of the inside and rim?
I assume I've got to go over to the "Finished Projects" to see it.
