The lumber rack at Home Depot isn't a secret.
It was until you ruined it.
Dyed and stabilized! 
I'm sure it will be awesome. @ripjack13 said you could make a silk purse out of a pigs ear
I finished moving a few tools after cutting 70% of my showroom off for work space.
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.
Damn your getting slow in your old age!
I grabbed a chunk of elm and made a little doodad to hold my pen collection.
Some good looking pieces on those shelves. The pens are in good company.
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.
Made a small laminated bowl.
That's kinda cute. Same size as a siagon tea cup
That's kinda cute! Terrific way to use up scraps as well.
