That's a possibility.
What did you do in your shop today?

You sure hit the gold mine with those clamps! And to get those Woodpecker clamps to boot is most incredible! Chuck
Can't get to my shop today, it's been snowing here since yesterday afternoon.... haven't gone out to measure depth but probably 18"+ so I've been messing around with the CNC in the house. Made a set of coasters for myself.
I picked up a couple of root balls of manageable size, (most I find are too big to deal with) and they have pretty good symmetry, which is hard to find too. Decided to give one a go today, I got it drilled out and started hollowing today, will finish tomorrow. encountered lots of rocks and dirt of course, The wood is eucalyptus, red gum I think, seasoned and very hard... Got my fingers crossed it will hold together. I have stretch wrap around it for hollowing....
Man that's gonna look GOOD!!!!
I think the word is spectacular.
African Gray parrot day - molded the skull, cast the head and set the eyes. Tomorrow maybe some woodworking
Well? How did I do on the eyeset?

I think the eyes are perfect! I'm not an expert but when I first scrolled down to your image before reading the post I got slightly disturbed that you had posted the head of a decapitated parrot lol.
Looks awesome, did you make the mold? Are you mounting a parrot?
LOL I can't anymore because it's in the trash
Yes anything unusual like parrots etc you don't find commercially.
Yes an African Grey parrot named Henry that succumbed to the freeze. I also got calls on 2 snakes (Ball python and Reticulated) and a Bearded Dragon named Frank. Frank's in my freezer waiting to be molded
Are you going to skin the snake and get it made into pen blanks?
No taxidermy but I had a head request. The grand daughter is moving into an apartment and "needed" some decor. So farmhouse/ southwest was the theme. The second picture is a headboard.
No I didn't get the 2 snake jobs but did get called today twice, on dogs. One a Pug and the other a Pekingese. Turned them both down and gave them referrals.

Finished up my clamp wall make over today.
Then I added some wider shelves to this area. Now I have a better battery charging station. Top shelf is a scrap ceder board, 12" wide.
Added a live edge maple shelf to the bottom.
This gave me a better place for my drills and chargers.

Congrats on finishing up the clamp project! Your shop is really coming along! Chuck
Gallery quality workmanship here Greg.
What I did in my shop today, with "today" being defined as "over the course of this past winter" was indulge my OCD.
About 30 years ago, I made computer-printed labels for most of the drawers that I had made in my garage. Like these:
It was more than a little bit tedious. I then added to my "TODO" list to do the same thing for the little drawers in which I keep tons of machine and wood screws, springs, and misc other stuff. Remember, this was 30 years ago. Now, I AM prone to procrastination, but I think 30 years is my new record. Anyway, over the winter, I did it! These two sets are one behind the other on a lazy-susan that I made for them so that they don't take up too much space.
When you see formally created drawer labels that say "EMPTY", you KNOW you are dealing with someone with OCD

So you are the guy who never misplaces a small drill bit. All bits are present and accounted for. Right?
The OCD can't be too bad, you got through 1/4" pretty good,but then kind of mixed up the 3/8" and 5/16", and the the empty bins are sort of scattered instead of lined up neatly across the bottom
Yeah, I was REALLY getting tired of the whole thing by the time I "finished". The empty ones are intended to separate sections.The OCD can't be too bad, you got through 1/4" pretty good,but then kind of mixed up the 3/8" and 5/16", and the the empty bins are sort of scattered instead of lined up neatly across the bottom
