Up early to go set up a decoy deer. See if any of the poachers roll through this morning. @Tony, get well soon brother. Hope the infection stays away and the affection comes!
How did you do? had a friend that worked for the Game dept for a while. The excuses were hilarious at times... Be careful
No luck this morning. Had one stop, look, back up and then go on. Couple slowed and looked but everyone was good. That's ideally what we want. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

Im still not doing anything, my back is still a mess. I have to find a good chiropractor after the holiday weekend, and a good one is hard to find. I got somethjng stuck in my mid back, lower is ok, it's not lumbar, but I cant get my mid to crack and release this tension. I have just been shut down and on the couch when I'm not working. It sucks! It's keeping me from standing up straight, im all hunched over and that's not normal for me.
Hope it gets better quick my friend!! Tony
Might try this backpad in the meantime Greg... Get some good support behind it in the recliner, and lay back and relax. Wife bought another that was more aggressive, and it would hurt you! Dozed off on it one day for an hour or so and I felt like I'd been hit by a freight train for several days. This one is nice and gentle, but it's really effective.

Can't argue but when you need to go down to 1/8th inch that's a lot of wood to take off. Still trying to sort out how to clamp thin segments.
I've never tried it - I've not tried segmenting rings yet - but I've seen videos and posts of guys do it with rubber bands.
Just have to find a source of large rubber bands. Not that I've looked yet but 9 or 10" bands aren't overly plentiful in your average store.
Typing "9" rubber band" into the search bar on Amazon.com took little effort and yielded results.
"10" rubber band" didn't seem to produce as good of results.
Surgical Rubber Tubing maybe?
488 blue pen bodies. This most likely will be the last of these unless they want me to go through the scrap I've hung on to and see if I can scrounge up any more blanks, could be 10 in there could be 50-60 but I don't know if they want to do that or if it's time to be done with this one.
Is that died wood or blue resin?
Dyed and Stabilized Hemlock from a 100 year old tree taken down at Mayowood in Rochester, MN about 5 years ago.
So, my wife had some big rubber bands from work - they use them to put around files to keep them together. I have a few to ensure that's what I need :)
Also built a board to build thin rings on. 24"x24" MDF with 16 1/8" (or so) holes drilled at different distances away from the center at several radii. I'll put down packing tape, put in the pegs (cut from bamboo skewers), put the rubber bands around them, glue up the ring, and then pull pegs in a sequence meant to tighten the band without making everything explode.
I'll do the Amazon search when I need new or different sized bands - thanks for the tip :)
Also did a general sweep up, put a dust/chip collector port in the lathe stand (and eventually get the stuff I need to connect it to the collector), and cut the router access hole in my outfeed table and added a Kreg router plate over it. I'll be able to do some real roundovers here shortly.
Took the bandaids off my finger tips. Only one is really sensitive still but I'm able to type so it's not too bad.
Also worked on the knife scales for my brother-in-laws Christmas gift. I think I need to find a #5 Torx drive for some of the screws - at least the #10 is too big but it's the smallest I've seen (and no, I have not yet looked at Amazon :)

They do T5,6,7,8, and 9 as well, I bought a set way back the last time I needed something under T10
And I just bought 50 rubber bands so I should be good on those for a while. Those were inexpensive and appear to last for a while. If it can stretch around a 13 gallon trash can or a litter box it should be able to fit around most any segmented ring that I'm likely to build. Hopefully there will be enough contraction to put enough pressure on the rings. Obviously I can use more than one rubber band on a ring. And a miniature Torx set so I can continue with the knife.
Got them all lasered and then sprayed with black enamel (No picture after paint, air in shop a little thick so I left) Tomorrow we do final polish and assembly, if all goes well, delivery on Wednesday.
