Yes it works but I need to learn more about cutting glass. What learned from my friends is you need to allow a space for the tape and solder. So back to the drawing board.
What did you do in your shop today?

If it’s for samples, they finish out at 3 by 6 by 1/2 inch, so a bit larger than that to allow for trimming and sanding.
I finally got a little time in the shop, applied finish to a couple commissions that came in before I went back to working for the man so I can get them out of the shop by the end of the week. Wish they had had more of that maple at the 4.50 BF I paid for it.... On the other hand, I did save all my drops from the openings and think they might make pen blanks that would dye up really nice.....
Ok...what are they?
Ok...what are they?
The smaller ones are portable bases for vintage Singer sewing machines so you don;t have to have a huge cabinet to keep them in and can move them around. The larger tabletop will go on a vintage Singer leg set and was custom built to hold a machine that they built very few tables or cabinets for.
Not only pen blanks, but a few cutting boards would work nicely as well.
Finished up a job for a restaurant. 120 wooden planks to serve sandwiches on. Cumaru and few unknown woods.
Very nice John! Where do you get your feet from? Tony
I'll check with the client. I made the planks and supplied the wood. He gave me the feet. I know they came from Amazon but I will check on actual supplier.
I made some Harry Potter styled wands...
What do you think of them John? I've run across some that are a little thin, the screw ends up pulling out of the rubber after I install them. We all know that's a problem.
I'm guessing not. Hopefully they just wipe them off and dis-infect with spray. Could become a problem. As the owner was looking them over, his daughter asked if they could go in the dishwasher!
I just ordered them from Amazon and the screws are stainless.
I tried some glue in ones awhile back, not these though. I wasn't confident that the glue would hold up to constant washing, decided to stick with the screw in ones.
Very nicely done Marc!
