Really turned out nice! Is it for your kids? Chuck
What did you do in your shop today?

- Start date
Excellent indeed! But clearly for Marc, regardless of what he says!
More insulation, moved boxes, created floor space…… and will move same boxes again when I do drywall. Guess I am practicing…… not sure for what, I’m not moving again.
Called preventive maintenance. Reminds you why you don't want to move again
It’s there, just hard to see with all the junk around it. Have my sharpening grinder set up, but tools are hard to reach yet but have them spotted.
A little more accomplished. Second picture is to prove to Jerry @Nubsnstubs the lathe did make the move. Even put my hands on the turning tools this morning
I re-sawed some myrtle boards I got from Gary awhile ago. Used my table saw. I'm so proud of myself - no blood was drawn, no boards flew across the driveway, and I got them pretty even. Used a hand plane to remove the final middle connection. Still need to run them through my buddy's sander for final thickness but they're pretty close now. Plan to build a box.
Still don't think it happened... no pics.
More insulation, Sheetrock, and shelves. Emptied 3 boxes and got another 3 off the floor. Getting there so I can figure out how to organize the machines
One wall left to insulate as well as the small pieces up high

You're such a cynic... boring as it is, here's the resawn myrtle and the cutoffs showing the original thickness.
Humor me, so is the insulation for sound deadening? R13 is pretty low value for where you are. R19 is the lowest code allows here, but that is for living space, not a shop. What are you doing with the ceiling?
Four nice neighbors lifted my saw on the mobile base today. Now will start setting up the saw.
Pretty soon your new saw will be humming! Think you will definitely like its mobility. Congrats! Chuck
It's always nice to get a new piece of machinery. Good stuff!
What are you turning? It looks like a tire.

Reasonably priced, 2x4 walls, shop…..only have to keep it 35…….hopefully. Not sure if going to partition ceiling off and go with blow in or use foam board insulation. Thinking foam board at the moment. Main shop area will not be insulated for some time, only woodworking area and the sanctuary/retreat.
You talked me into it. Glad you did.
Hum. My buddy, aka, new guy, is making a platter. I was out pulling up pumpkin vines.It's always nice to get a new piece of machinery. Good stuff!

Cool! I'm a new guy too. Would like to see pictures of the finished platter when its done.
Made sweetie a walnut oil lamp out of some waste laying about
sure glad she likes rustic
hard to pass this off as anything else!
lost bits and pieces of punky junk the whole time I was turning it.
Actually that was mostly practice for this slightly more sound piece of hackberry from Jerry @Nubsnstubs . Finally stuck something of his on the lathe instead of the saw.
and no, I didn't clean up the bottom, it has a couple broken screws in it. Didn't feel like playing "catch the flying metal".
Broken screws are courtesy of yours truly making poor choices in fasteners. Aluminum screws won't hurt your lathe tools. They may however hurt your head if it is near the trajectory of your lathe...
