What did you do in your shop today?

Started to stabilize a couple Pine pen blanks to send along with my pen to trade. One red pine and one whatever kind @Tclem sent that I made the pen from.

You know I have a secret stash of primo pine
 
It's been a long slog, but I finally got this off the lathe today. Wanted to do a big segmented turning just for kicks, I think I have segmenting out of my system for a while ha ha. White oak and walnut, 13"x 33" I plan on fuming it with amonia, I'll let ya know how that goes.....

Ok, It's about 9:15pm, Time to start assembly of the turning from yesterday and today. We'll see when I finally decide to throw in the towel and head home....

2 hours and 15 minutes of jerking the handle and I'm headed home. This is what two days of going full out gets done in my shop.

I got a piece of the wall taken out and the A/C mounted. Still have to fill in the holes around the A/C. Now I'm probably going to have to insulate the wall I built and the ceiling if the A/C is actually going to do much good. With nothing but 90+ days in the foreseeable future though, I had to do something. The ass end of the A/C projects into the wife's side of the garage so I have to open the back door and the garage door a bit to allow for air circulation.

Also got my branding iron epoxied into the handle. I think it's a bit of spalted silky oak if I'm not mistaken. I'll post up pictures of that once I get it turned.

Don't forget plumbing or a bucket to collect condensate.
