What did you do in your shop today?

Colin, I may be interested in the treadle machines. Cash or trades? Let me know what they are worth.

John, A sale is pending, Got a guy driving up from Indiana on Friday and he has first refusal. If they don't sell for some reason I'll post prices here.
 
@Sprung said he would like to see what I've been up to. Way back Lowell / @Hobbithut gave me a Chinaberry blank. Right away I thought I would make a box that mimicked an emerald cut stone. I cut the pieces and they sat and sat. Finally got around to it and it looks like a freak in casket.

Long way to go. It was so small I have been chiseling the inside walls parallel. Getting much better with chisels. Plus took enough off these Narex they hold an edge now.

I went down to my shop and milled up a lil chunk of cherry burl. Didn't get much from it. Only about 6 bottle stoppers and some pen blanks and a knife grip.
I'll go snap a pic....
Brb...
 
Not bad for two weeks out....was a lil painful. But....a whisky an cola work better than percs....
 
Yeah, I'm hoping to do a few light duty things by the end of next week. I'm really jonesing to do something other than just sit around...
 
I haven't done squat in my shop. Wednesday was sorting all the new planes and other tools to get a handle on where to start. Then tore apart the rear end on my wife's jeep. Today was a show.

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
