What did you do in your shop today?

This past week I made this display stand. Not perfect by any means, but pretty happy with the design. Tony

I worked on mallet for the trade. Had to change course. Worked an idea for a cool handle all day yesterday and never got what I thought was good enough.
 
Curt if your like most of us, nothing we do is gonna be good enough. Just the way we're made. We all know you'll get it :good2:. Me I've been building a couple cabinets for my day job here at the house. Allstate job so don't give them anything better than what they had. :deal: They had a small grease fire and all they would pay for is what I built :unknown:. Now if this was farm bureau they would of gotten a whole set of cabs and tops. O well it is what it is I guess. O these cabs were build in place back in the early 70, s. IMG_2354.webp

Tony, I hope you had a better day. We are just get ready to leave for day two of the show. Weather looks much better today. It rained the entire day yesterday but there were some people that still came out.
If you have a day two also.. good luck

Rich, good luck today! Mine was just a one day show, sold 2 cutting boards yesterday. The booth was free so at least I didn't lose any money! Tony
 
Yesterday I had two gents over that won a "day in my shop" at the Florida Woodturning Symposium the past two years along with the treasurer of the symposium. We had a great time! John made an awesome Norfolk Island Pine lamp shade & Russ worked on hand thread chasing & made a very nice laminated bowl. One of my students, Cindy stopped by & roughed out a curly maple bowl also.

Today I finished 2 sets of Norfolk Island Pine salt/peppermills for a client & assisted 86 years old Herbie, AKA - the oldest "tool" in my shop, turning a walnut bowl.
