Okay you have skeelz, but why a horse? Is Maya (someone named Maya won a gold medal you know) a fan of horses, or just a fan of a certain horse's ass (thanks for that idea Tony)?
What did you do in your shop today?

She loves horses. Lucky for me it is the only thing I can draw.
I wouldn't go that far. You draw a pretty good crowd too. Silly boy.
Sweet job on the mailbox Gilligan! That horse looks almost righteous with a coat of stain on it. 
Thanks, you can't go wrong with koa. It is just a great color period I think.Sweet job on the mailbox Gilligan! That horse looks almost righteous with a coat of stain on it.
More period furniture from the crazy Hawaiian. I continue to underestimate you.
Period mailboxes huh? . . . .
I assembled about 60 pens in the morning, took my kid to a potter we know so he could fire a project he made (way cool, I find myself wanting to learn more about ceramics now, a lady down the street has a kiln for sale...) Then got back to the shop, engraved a pen for @Treecycle Hardwoods , middlemaned a lumber deal between him and @Sprung , then helped Matt load up his new sander and a ton of lumber. He's got the sweetest wife and kids. Patient too.
THAT . . . . . . . . is woodbarter.
I spent some time in @woodman6415 shop this morning. Swapped him for a sweet Purpleheart board, had a great time, thanks Wendell! Came home, glued up a cutting board and spun a bottle stopper. Tony
And by middleman I just mean Greg piled the wood in my yard and Matt picked it up later
good thing I had a circular saw to help Matt with loading though.
And that is also woodbarter!!!!
Yeah, I definitely married up! But you're smart enough to have figured that one out already.
We had a great time today - thank you for everything, Colin!
Just wish that we didn't have so many unexpected stops making us unable to meet @Treecycle Hardwoods ! Greg, thanks again too for the wood!
We just got home - it's late and I've got to be up early. I'll be unloading tomorrow afternoon and will have some help with the drum sander.
@Kevin - before I start unloading I'll get a pic just for you. My wife's minivan loaded down with a drum sander and lumber. She was even along for the ride when it happened!
I thought I got home late! I parked the truck around 730ish. I unloaded the essentials (motorcycle and helmets) and hit the road for a ride till about 10pm. Thanks Collin for being the middle man for me! It would be cool to plan another visit early in the fall after the show season is over.Yeah, I definitely married up!

Yeah, we had a few more extra stops on the way home too, lol.
Yes, a fall meet up would be great! I could probably swing something in the lastest part of September or early October.
Very cool and very well done!
So Don is out at the new mailbox wiping off bird poop from the new horses's head and frowning.
Just then, the mail carrier pulls up and looks at Don, then at the new horse's head and asks:
"Why the long face?"
Ba-dum-bump. Ching.....

I have a feeling you are going to fit in real good here....
I forgot to get a pic before I started unloading lumber, so the lumber is about half unloaded in this pic.
Everything is now unloaded. Had to move a bunch of stuff around in the garage to get it all in the garage. Right now the garage is FULL. I know what I'm doing when I've recovered from surgery - lumber rack in the shed, moving lumber from the garage to the shed, getting the shop together.

Got a good amount of Shop time this weekend, Nikki was in Louisiana seeing her new nephew. I built a Longworth chuck, pretty pleased with it. This one is going to SWAT with me for @Bean_counter, @El Guapo yours is next! Eventually I hope to get a point where I can turn well enough to need one myself!
I also got this bottle stopper done. Black Locus that @El Guapo gave me that he got from @Buga, and Purpleheart I got from @woodman6415. I haven't tightened or glued the stopper in the blank yet. Please tell me what y'all think. Thanks guys! Tony
