GeeI wonder where the termites came from.
They were in the front door jam when I took the space back in 2002.
Out back owners have been replacing wall with metal studs for decades
What did you do in your shop today?

Today I was able to work in tight quarters & made 3 very nice Camphor boxes. Going to add Malachite rings on left box top.
3 man crew completed tear down of walls in two units next to mine. Tomorrow framing in metal studs & drywall. My side should be done by Saturday so I can put things back with a bit of rearranging.
One of workers stepped on a drywall screw sticking through a foot square piece of scrap. Went right through his tennis shoe deep into his foot & he was hopping around hollering in Spanish trying to kick it off. His buddy had to use a claw hammer to pull it out! I didn't understand a word he said but I got the message. I really tried not to laugh.
Gave him some rubbing alcohol to pour on it.
Pict of "pain in the Herb" turning in tight space. I just noticed he had no eye protection while sanding!!

Thanks Lee,
But I do not have the tooling to do so, just figured so many others are into cholla, ant wood and other that you might have something they wanted.
I think around 10 bins total everything is photographed and organized, now to put the details in the spreadsheet.
So, over the last couple of days I managed to get a catch on a bowl and rip it off the faceplate. So I now have a gouge in the top, a bunch of shaping left to do, and a seam to try to repair (it is a segmented bowl.) Luckily I wasn't in the way as it made its way across the shop. And all my underwear is still the original color.
After that I turned 3 mushrooms from a branch off of a crabapple tree that was in front of the family home that we moved out of. One for each of the kids as a remembrance for them. Only have a picture of the last one as the other two have been given out already.

Love the colors in that mushroom Ken. That's sharp!
Sorry you had the catch. Glad it didn't get you on the way off. Love the shroom idea!
I serviced this thing today....
I pushed snow for 14 hours, but didn't think anyone wants pictures of that...
I hope the pusher had a motor and a blade attached to it and wasn't you attached to a shovel.
I finally got around to ordering a branding iron today.
Ordered from https://brandingirons.com/collectio...cts/custom-multi-purpose-brass-branding-heads
My family has been on my ass for 30 years to get one.

Started a new hollow form today, blued pine. I stripped some old residential wire, cut a recess, epoxied the wire into place, shaved it down with a bowl gouge, sanded and am now sealing the wood. Hollowing will have to wait until Sunday as I'm playing bingo on the air force base tonight and visiting relatives in Idaho tomorrow.
I put a spit coat, then nib sanded, and applied the first coat of shellac on these little tables today.
Lee, where's the picture of the apple-shaped one???? Tony
Crappy pict on my phone. Cindy the "Mustard Goddess" is coming in to turn some wood Saturday & her phone takes much better photos so maybe tomorrow will post pict.

Mail me your Tig when you send my tool rests & I'll make you one!!
If noit didn’t happen
Well it did happen. Here's the only one you guys would under stand. Lady called to plow her driveway. Last few storms she had not. So under the snow was 2-4 inches of ice. So I sent a picture to my mom, wife and other job boss.
The next hour I get text bombed by my mom and other boss. "You use tip ups, not pick ups" "Rock bass fishin?" No crappie fishen" Hey look he got a sucker" No, its just a Ford truck, or did you mean the sucker was.." And they went on, while I was getting legitimate calls in between properties. My wife calmly read each of the responses and withheld any input as they kept her in the group texting, knowing it was distracting. I thanked her when I got home.
