Decided to turn a little dish after work today. Learned the importance of a face shield as the bark flew off and hit me square in the center of the shield...kinda wakes you up.
Live oak.

Had been putting up with a wandering blade on my 18 inch Parks bandsaw (aka Craftsman-- when the name was real ). So I spent a LOT of time researching for new blade guides --- hard to come by--- so I bought some Carters guides after I got over sticker shock! 
($234 if yer curious)
Have to say, I like'm.
Only thing to finish that project is to engineer a new blade guard.

I put the Carter guides on my old Rockwell abd could never go back now! of course I found mine in a bargain bin for under 80.00
Cant beat Carter!
Carter is in the same city I work in and is also called the "furniture city". There used to be (somewhat still is) some serious woodworking done here. Kinda a fun little woodworking factoid.

I thought they made cars there.....oh...sorry, I was thinking of Mexico.
Hmmm... You must mean Detroit? Wrong side of the mitten!
@Tclem learned how we operate up here this same way so it might help you also.
Hold your hand up palm facing you. That's Michigan! (Well at least the lower peninsula, we will explain the UP in another class)
Ok now see your thumb? Just below that a ways is @woodtickgreg.
Go straight West (that's left in case anyone was wondering while looking at your hand @Don Ratcliff ) and go up til where your pinky meets your palm or close to.
I'm around that area...

Which hand?
Both
When I think of you and look at my hand I'm automatically looking at the part that makes me think of you @gman2431 and in case your wondering...
Hold up you hand fingers pointing up towards the UP, (either hand @Tony )
The northern most point is where you live, now fold the states left and right down and there ya are. And no need to explain the UP, I lived in Gwinn...

He uses his feet....
My hand....
It's always about you...
Not sure if it really counts, but got my work space set up yesterday....starting to feel whole again. Also midly depressing at the same time. Went from a full 20 x 40 shop to this.... but hey its better than nothing right?
