Interesting to see how other turners do their pot calls.
That kinda looks like a hole saw arbor. Maybe not. Nice looking piece of rosewood.
What did you do in your shop today?

To nice to just put it aside.
Absolutely! I know you’ve had a full plate recently but did you make it out for spring turkey?
I did. Took a Jake in Vt and at Nice Tom in Flint Hill and called in a bird my buddy and I've hunter for 2 years in Lousia for a 1st timers and his future son in-law.
Next year should be off the hook. His son in law now, has a family hunting lodge in upper Maine, the to Vt, his son n law and daughter bought a horse farm in Osceola right in the middle of the county will hunt that late season, and Va. and Md.
How was your season ?
Sounds like you will be having a great 2019 spring season.
My season was good. I got a pretty good Osceola this year but due to a surgery my wife had we were unable to make it to my buddies place in North Carolina....maybe this coming spring.
It is an arbor for a hole saw. What a way to repurpose
PSA: When running a number of boards through the planer, it is a good idea to periodically check how full your collection bin is on your dust collector. All said and done, I have two 30 gallon cans filled with planer shavings. I only have one 30 gallon can as the collection bin on the dust collector...
This may be the impetus to finally put together the fill sensor for the bin. The one I bought parts for months ago.

I thought that's what it was but I could never find a hole saw big enough to fit it. Must be from a old one years ago.
Dave, I'll be heading up to Larry's in February. I'll shoot ya a message before and see if you're available. I may swing by if it's close.

Those are nice , clean line, good design. These are items designers would eat up.
Thanks
Today was another get stuff done day in the shop. Monday I went through the boards I planed and laid out parts and rough cut to length. Today, err, now yesterday since it's after midnight, I get the jointer set back up and dialed back in and jointed all the edges. Went to start cutting pieces to width and found that my ripping blade was getting too dull to handle the task well enough to give me a clean cut on this maple. So, off to the store - 80 miles round trip - to pick up a new blade (and a couple other things). Family went with me and we went out for dinner. Got the new blade on the saw and made quick work of ripping everything to width. Today is the day I really broke in the Unisaw. Oh, my... Quite an upgrade! After that I started working on a new crosscut sled.
Hope to get some time in the shop tomorrow to finish the crosscut sled and to cut pieces to length. Had hoped to have that done today as well, but the trip to buy a new blade took up a bunch of time.

I've started a new project. Adding 23K gold leaf to the new bike. After that a burgundy pinstripe below the gold. I didn't like the bland harley silver stripe.

Looks like you have a set of rinehart mufflers on your bike. I have a set of those I intend to put on my bmw when I change the bags on it. They should give it a little more sound without being obnoxiously loud. My beemer is way to quiet stock, hard to hear the engine with a helmet on.
Thanks Neil had been working on this for a couple years and hopefully the engines going back in today. We pulled it to redo all the seals . It's a 68 built and Germany and 67. You get down find let's set for 12 years.
I am building a very large and heavy live edge table out of solid mahogany. The the table top is 48 x 22 x 3.5" and weighs about 90 pounds. I have a questions concerning the best way to connect a leg to the table top. I will call it the front leg and it is the one that looks like a stump (thats what it was actually). The rear leg is a 45 degree cut straight to the floor which I will will join with mortise and tenon 45 degree biscuits. I will be putting a stretcher in between the two legs that will be mortise and tenoned into each leg. This should prevent racking.
I do have a question though and thought maybe I could post it in this forum.
I initially thought I would use buttons (see Nick Offerman article on fine woodworking) but my buttons snap so now I am considering inserting 3/4 inch dowels (3 or maybe four) to the front and back of the leg (as well as the buttons for extra support). I was thinking of sinking each dowel 1 1/2 inches into the base and same into the leg.
Finally, I was planning on using Gorilla Glue on the dowels. This is not my first choice since I normally would use a pva titebond, but was thinking the Gorilla Glue would add even more strength. My concern is the expansion that comes with Gorilla glue but I think that if I use a minimum amount of gorilla glue on the dowels and titebond on all other surfaces I should be ok.
Does anyone have any better suggestions than what I am considering because for some reason it feels like I am going way over the top here, but the table is so heavy and so large that I feel like I need to be extra extra careful that the legs are dead solid.
Please shoot me your critique and thoughts to help me to get this monster off my bench.

Not that I have any great experience to impart but you might look at the properties of Gorilla Glue Clear. In wood it still needs moisture but it doesn't do all the foamy expansion that the original GG does.
Also, have you considered blind wedged tenons?

Today I actually made some sawdust. Worked up the master jig and ran out two ruler racks for quilters and artists. Got a finish on them and will buff them out in the next day or two. Hoping to find a market for them, anecdotal evidence says I should be able to sell quite a few but we'll see.
