What did you do in your shop today?

My woodturning studio is now 89.25% back together after wall replacement.
Only have to hang the tools & attachments back on wall & sort through several boxes of wood.

Think you'll be making a lot of tap handles fer them?

If they scale up and get to distributing then maybe. These six are just for the taproom. If they get to distribution we'll figure out putting their logo on a handle, I have a design I did for another place that would work well.
 
Not today but yesterday. Made a mess. Going to add to it today. Found a neighbor that wants all the shavings I can produce for his chickens.

Walnut and yew are a no no if he's going to use with animals. I'd check on some of the others. A friend bought a load of chips that were all supposed to be pine, there was one yew chipped in there, killed there goats before they figured out what the issue was.
 
Yep, we're very well aware of that. Only woods I typically work with are pine, birch, maple and elm. Sometimes black locust too. Anytime I work with exotics or walnut (I've never had yew) all that goes into a separate can. That stuff and the can from the dust collector goes out back in the compost bin in an area on the property where we have a fire break and no vegetation.
 
My wife grabs all of my sawdust and shavings for her chickens. $6 now down at the feed store for a bale of shavings.
 
I was going to take the day and do stuff at home but at about 4pm got a call. A guy I know had a friend that took down some trees and wants them all milled into slabs. Quoted him an hourly rate and he asks how early I can be there tomorrow. So I just finished getting everything ready to go so I can haul the mill it to his place in the morning.
