Did a one piece woodturning job matching a handle for a guy.
One of my best bud's has had it for 5 months & didn't make it yet. I was at his lock shop & the guy he was to make it fer came in.
I took it to my shop & made it in 12 minutes. I even left sanding scratches on it like the original!!
I don't do color matching, just the shape.

Great set-up! I had that exact same saw, was real happy with it, probably would still have it if it hadn't got dinged up in a military move...
Time to make a few more pens. Did some prep work today for a day of turning tomorrow. Haven't done slimline in probably a year, found a pile of kits on the shelf so we'll do 50-60 of them. Also got the last of the inlay kits from my last estate buy glued up, turned, and polished. I'll assemble those sometime this week. Plus a few ice cream scoops as I'm getting low on those.
I bought it new many years ago!!
Finally sorted out how to get those 3/4x4x8 panels to go together without a second set of hands.
Yep, ratcheting strap clamps made it possible to lift the panel into place so could screw it down.

Didn't have any shims?
Got some bamboo cutting boards shaped and ready to engrave, made 100 soap savers. Was going to get more done but right now I'm at the hospital with my mother, her BP is 201/117. I don't think a high score is good with that one.....
Didn't do anything in the shop but did my first ever demo at our Woodcrafters club meeting. I did a demo on pen turning and it went well. It's a little different when you're the one up there 
and it's been a long time since I had a tube come loose...but guess what...that's right it happened tonight.

My best to your Mom Colin. Tony
Yes sir, by all means extend our best wishes to your mom for a full and speedy recovery Colin.
The issue is that they're tongue and groove. And very heavy. So trying to hold them in the right place and get everything lined up so they'd slide together was a bit difficult.
At least for me :)
What I did in my shop today was put the finishing touches on my competition piece - a Cinnamon Teal drake standing on a old turtle shell in the mud. We'll see how it does! I'm thinking a low to mid 2nd place. Not real please with the total outcome. No pictures of it yet
But I did get the final pictures done of an eider pair for a client. Made the rocks from scratch, also made the snow and icicles

@Wildthings your taxidermy work is always amazing, so beautiful.
Nope!! That's how far behind I am. Still have 19 birds to finish from last years clients before starting on the 51 this years clients! Yikes and you wonder why I haven't done much woodworking lately
Thanks Greg for the kind words!
