Finished up the end tables. Tile work could have been a bit better, but my wife likes them and they fit the spot they were designed for (the other end of the couch had just enough room between it and the wall for this to fit.
What did you do in your shop today?

This is the output for the last 3 days. Everything you see here was a block of wood or acrylic on Friday morning at 9am. Hope to finish getting it all assembled tomorrow so I can deliver the 30 letter opener/pen sets soon and get the rest of it added to inventory.
Dam Colin, you're a Turning Machine!!! They look great! Tony
Wow. Nice job Colin!
Man I need to learn to do a faster CA finish. Thats what takes me the longest on all my pens. Seems like you have that down to a science!
I went out and turned the AC on at 10AM. That was it for today.
Yesterday I sat outside in the rain all day at an outdoor show. At least my canopy is weathertight. Needless to say there wasn't a whole lot of traffic....
I don't know how you bang out so many pieces in a day, that is flat out remarkable ! And all top notch looking too !
Hope today goes better ! Your show last thru the weekend ?
cleaned and moved wood- that is what I did the day before and the day before and..........
No, it's a weekly show in Downtown Rochester MN, every Thursday for June, July, and August. I at least recovered my booth cost for the week and covered lunch but not much more. They ended up ending the show 2 hours early too since the evening bands all cancelled and traffic was way down. I usually get one day like this every year so it's not the end of the world.
It's been too hot to get any work done in the workshop in over a week, so I haven't done anything in the garage. Though, I've been too busy to get into the shop anyways.
I did, however, get down into my basement shop today - first time I've had time to in a week - and got some pen blanks drilled and tubed, including blanks for pens that will eventually make their way to 3 fellow WB'ers.

Walked through it while packing up the camper.
I've been out in the Shop Friday night, all day Saturday and Sunday for the last 2 weekends and haven't cut a single board. Been doing a major cleaning, I have a problem letting go of stuff and so it's built up for the 22 years we've lived here. I'm finding things I didn't know I had and don't need. I'm finally getting rid of stuff, so hopefully it'll be better. Probably will have a few things for sale or trade at some point! Tony
cleaned- built shelfs and cleaned.....................................cleaned and moved wood- that is what I did the day before and the day before and..........
Opened the door that goes from the house into the garage. Got hit with a blast of heat from the garage (which I expected). Closed the door and went back to enjoying the air conditioning. I need to get out there some morning when it's cool and the mosquitoes aren't bad and get the window AC unit installed in the window out there...
I tried to do some stabilizing but it was so hot that my vacuum line softened up to the point that it completely collapsed. I had to run to home Depot to get some heavier wall stuff so I could finish.
