And when you take on a life of crime you can make sure you use that finger so you don't leave any prints.
What did you do in your shop today?
- Thread starter woodtickgreg
- Start date
Ouch, you know those emery boards are slow but save the fingers. Next time run the wood on the sander
not the finger. I tend to watch for things to use and abuse as previously stated. Have you tried hot glueing an extension on those?
Been there, but with 120 grit.

Well, couldn't have been too bad, don't see any DNA on the cookie nor the belt!
Not too bad. Bleeding stopped.
After that happened to me once, I started wearing gloves to hold onto the wood. I've managed to scrape holes into more than one glove, but saved my fingers! Chuck
Looks like you're complete!!! Good job!
Ha! Glad you like it, Barry.
Cut up a few apple for @Lumptastic
he said he likes bugs...
Then planed up a few sticks of bradford pear
had a slight bit of curl... cut this up last spring so it is purdy hard. Had 8 or 10 short, maybe 18 inch pieces of 5 to 7 inch wide stock. Am trying to gather some cutting board stock. I figure this winter, the wife will want me to pull some together.
Also will claim to have made the sister in law a box elder box but, being done on Christmas day, didn't have much picture time before gifting it. (Was still almost tacky with rattlecan poly)
this is my scrap pile from 2 weekends of cutting. The planer shavings go to the dog bed and chicken nest boxes.

After dinner and before we broke out the sweets I made two swords and a wand. No time for pictures, the great nieces/nephew's had them in hand and were playing with them the second they came off the lathe
Exercise is good after a large meal...
”Scrap art” completed. Daughter did final arrangement for the way she wants it to hang on her wall.

That'll do if she likes it. Sure is colorful. Got an eye for color, I see. She sure don't do odd angles, does she?
Remember if you post a picture, you should tell what wood is.
Walnut, sapele, buckeye burl, quilted maple, padauk, maple burl, black and white ebony, bubinga, spalted maple, redwood burl, olive wood, wenge, osage orange, ebony, purple heart, curly ambrosia maple.
Can you ID each?

LMAO!!!! You tha man Tom!
Hey, at least it was the belt sander and not the jointer...
Had to find a mid-century modern knob for a refinish project for a friend . Looked around and found this
the brass is the original one and the aluminum is the one you find.when you turn the brass finish off a 4 dollar knob from lowes. This started as a 3/4 inch diameter knob and fell prey to my carbide pen turning tools. Now if I can fake an aged brass finish...

Pretty cool and ingenious! There are brass plating kits available that seem simple - not sure if they would plate aluminum though. Plus there is always brass paint - but would overspray with clear to last longer.
