Well it wasn't in my shop but Rockler's....live edge walnut serving tray with epoxy river.
What did you do in your shop today?

- Start date
Going to make river boards now?
I get into everything!!
Looks cool!
What are the clamps holding down?
What are the clamps holding down?
They are keeping the walnut from floating. I actually poured too much epoxy and it started to flood the upper right clamp pad. Took that clamp off and wiped it clean, put tape on tongue depressor and used them for shims under that clamp pad to keep it above the liquid level

I put over station area storage on two walls. Still haven't done the other two. The trouble with storage areas is that you end up storing things in them. I do need some more shelf space though and a room like that would create the storage on top (loft) and double the wall space for shelves. With shelves along the shop walls I tend to stack stuff in front of them and I can't get to it when I need it. Also for tools that I keep in their cases (power planer, biscuit cutter, etc, ) that don't get used as often, shelves hold them nicely. AND I can shut the dang door and everything doesn't have two inches of sawdust on it after a project.
I guess I'll never be done with the shop thing....

Another 2" north and you'd have never known it was there until you started shoveling ash out of the fireplace.

Finished sanding and got some mineral oil on these 2 small boards made from cut offs of larger ones.
Finally got the last panels glued up on this segmented block (see @barry richardson segmented hollow form posts).
Before glueing the last panels I took the block to the band saw to flatten the end for a face plate. That’s when I remembered I never really aligned the table to the blade. It didn’t matter when I was just cutting bowl or pen blanks, but it sure did when I wanted to use the miter. So I spent a couple of hours doing what I should have done when I first set up the saw and got it dialed in.

Tom, why are you showing us wrapping paper, I thou you said they were cutting boards.
Those and incredible sir!! Truly, I looked at the picture the first time and I know your work, but for a moment thought it was a print.

Pretty darn nice "cut-offs"!
Was thinking the same! My cut-offs don't look nuthen like those cut-offs.
Now, "back in my day", cut-offs meant something else. Remember, Daisy Duke and what she used to wear? Now, that I've got your rapt attention, now imagine Little Mikey wearing what she would wear! Ok, now that your virtual visual cortex has been burned beyond repair - I return you to our discussion of wood cut-offs!

Well, truth be known, they could be called errors rather than cutoffs. The original strips were twice as long, but I had a glue joint failure on about half of them so I got one large board and cut the remaining pieces up to make the small boards.
