Sure am glad the phrase you used included Y'all and not "You guys"
Yesterday I turned a bunch of slimlines that I had previously prepped for turning. Today I applied finish to and then polished the wood ones and polished up the acrylics. Maybe tomorrow I'll assemble and will post pictures when I have them assembled.
Tomorrow I'm hoping to disassemble the headstock, remove the bearings, and get new bearings ordered. If shipping is fast enough from wherever I order them from, I hope to have it back up and running by next weekend.

If somebody else had jumped in I could've said "all y'all ".
Today I spent more time putting everything in boxes Yikes! So far I've boxed up 27 boxes just from the shop area!
Haven't even touched the 3 car garage area yet!!
We close on the new house tomorrow. Good thing is there is no time limit getting out of the old house!!

Don't over do it brother....
Have been feeling pretty awesome the last few days, but definitely have not been pushing it. When I'm in the shop I've been doing about 15 to 20 minutes of work (Generally was about every two sets of slimline blanks worked on) and then rest for a while. Repeat. So over 1/3 of my time in the shop since I've been back in it has been spent just sitting on the computer, checking in on WB and stuff like that.
There's always new stuff here. So it's nice....
Good luck brother! I don't envy you, I HATE moving, but I'm sure that huge shop will be nice! Tony
Did some re-arranging so I can put in a wood burner, in already small and crowed shop. Boy do I ever accumulate a lot of crap and I seem to save all of it.
I did get the stove moved in now need to install it before winter. I did get the wood burner installed in our home this past week so one down one to go.

I pent the day cleaning and working on odd jobs, Sent off some proposals/proofs for a laser job due October 1st, got the resin poured for 18 stamp pens, cleaned everything and worked on a scarecrow for decoration for the fall town hoo hah. And then started on sorting stamps. My FIL is a stamp cpollector and gave me a huge pile of duplicate used stamps he had in bins. Some stuff going back to the late 1880's. I'm thinking some unique one of a kind pens using a mix of different stamps from the same era (Like the 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 cent stamp all on one tube)
Not bad for the first 3 hours in the shop today, got the blanks sliced, squared, and turned and assembled form the pour I did yesterday. Now to work on the boxes for them and set up later today for some good pictures. Starting to look into possibly marketing the blanks to other turners...
I checked on this. It's dry and ready for some light sanding and finish. Learned a lot on this one, next will be better. My wife found a guy that wants to trade slabs of koa and pheasant wood for it when I'm done. Guess I'm going back into making furniture...
Amazing effect Don - would love to see a video...

Cut up 4 nice book matched Mahogany boards, 2 pretty spalted, plus I ended up with a couple crazy call and pen blanks. Didn't do much but felt good to work with wood a little. I'm trying to stockpile enough Mahogany to build a kick drum.
I spent the weekend, attempting to make the dust collector more compact, so that I'd be able to get my TS to sit along the back wall. Well, that turned into having to clean the mess... I tried the Leaf blower method of sawdust removal, and have determined, that I'm going to suffer, like a family of 7 does after a beach trip, and cleaning almost daily to get all the sand/dust out as it seems to resettle everywhere. Getting the saw moved, I then realized, I have no outlet on that wall. so I make up a heavy extension cord to use, until I feel like taking a cabinet off the wall, and removing pegboard, to run a wire.
I did get most of it cleaned up, other than the 2 work benches.... granted they never seem to be clean anyway.
