What did you do in your shop today?

For actual use. They have a stainless steel insert in them. Here's one I made out of Indian Rosewood earlier this year.

This one was made using an insert I picked up at Rockler. These are the inserts I will be using on the run I'll be doing. Shipping from them was expensive though. I believe I saw them in Woodcraft the last time I was in there for the same price - and without having to pay for shipping.

If you go on line and find a wholesaler for the plastic travel mugs you can buy them for 3 or 4 dollars break the plastic off and you have the same thing for a lot less. If I can find the website I will post it.

Any of them that have a stainless steel insert, especially one with a screw on lid? While there's not going to be any getting around some plastic in the lid, I'd rather not have a plastic insert and would prefer a lid that screws on.

Ah... those make sense.. I've made a few.
 
How are you liking your new lathe now that you have had it awhile? I dig the mugs!:cool:
 
Got in about 9:45 and have these ready to turn- stay tuned to see what they end up as.

The mugs come from Discount Mugs to in Miami. You have to buy at least 25 at $4 apiece to get free shipping. One with plastic, one without.

Probably Wednesday I'm planning to do a post showing everything I've made since the first of the month, It'll be interesting to see just how much I managed to get done, I haven't been keeping count.

Those look exactly the same as the ones I had gotten from Rockler. Just wish they were screw on lids! Got some screw on lid ones in this summer, the ones I linked to, and I like them better.

Greg, if you're referring to me, I love the Jet 1221VS! Still don't have a ton of hours on it - Colin probably ran his first one more hours in the first week or so than I've put on mine yet - but it is a great lathe. A huge step up from the Jet 1014 I used to have. And I like not having to change belts around. (Though did for drilling the mugs to get more power at the low end.)
