I'm working on an urn box. Bocote and spalted curly maple, with redheart corners...
My 1st day off in 10 days. Cut this up, Anchorseal when it gets shipped. Hopefully tomorrow.
VROOOOMMM!!!
Just got home so haven't done anything yet but picked this up from a pawn shop. Only used about twice. Had $500 on it and I've bought other stuff from her. She told me she would give it to me for $300. Believe it goes for over 1K new.
Spent yesterday and last night and most of today on an overnight field trip with my youngest, got the van back from new tires being put on it, packed up everything for my trip and assembled two dozen toothpick holders. Now to head to bed, work my side job on Friday, run a ton of errands and leave on Saturday for Michigan.
Today I mixed up two small batches of Cactus Juice, one blue and one green, and I'm soaking a couple of small loofas in them. I'll let them soak for a couple of days then put them under vacuum. Then I'll cast them in clear and figure out what to make from them. Probably bottle stoppers.
Also glued the template down to a piece of oak to make a graduation announcement/tassel holder (using the Carmichael Workshop template.) That'll get fumed once I get it cut out and sanded down. It'll give me a chance to use my new Wen scrollsaw as well.

I think he built it for @Mike1950 's lathe!
So it looks good but doesn't actually do anything?
Very funny.... GRRRRR

And I'm sure he recalls fondly, when the first turbos were produced.
Productive weekend turned a few pens, cut up some blanks, and worked on an urn.
Birdseye maple on a Churchill rollerball. The rest of the pens you have to wait for pictures until @Eric Rorabaugh gets them.

Nice work Lou. That pen is real nice. Post up a picture of that urn once it's done.
Got back to working some more on my lathe stand last night and some more today. First coat of finish went on before dinner and a second will go on before bed. Not pictured is the bottom (which will cover the compartment for the sand) and the back, which are off to the side also getting finished.
If all goes as planned, I'll have my new lathe set up on it sometime this week. I've had the lathe for a month already and haven't even had a chance to plug it in and turn it on...
