What did you do in your shop today?

Don't use that four letter word! I hope we are still a couple of months away from seeing anything frozen fall from the sky.
 
I need to start up my snowthrower and get it ready. This way it wont snow here.
 
Made clock parts for a new client. This is going to be a good one. He buys, sells, & repairs old clocks & needs woodturned parts made.
Lots of them. Parts going to cost him $50 an hour & he's happy to pay it with the quality of work I do & my fast turn around.
Plus he's only a mile n a half from my woodturning studio.

I have something similar I need to make for a friend’s clock. I haven’t tried yet, been working on my skills!
 
Finally tried stabilizing again. Had this ready and found reasons to procrastinate. This looks much better than my first attempt. Need to use a little tape on the bottom of the wood to keep it from floating or some hot glue. The alumilite shrunk a bit more than I thought it would, I though I had my mold full.....

At this point in time I don't remember who I got these from, but someone here sent me their cutting board offcuts.

I have a craft show coming up the first weekend in December so I made a few little cheese boards.

The small one is 5x5 and the others are 5x7 - more or less.
 
This past week I started the daunting task of packing up my shop and sorting out some things to sell in preparation for moving after Christmas.

Man, it's a lot of work to pack up and move not just a house, but a whole shop as well! :scare3:

There was about 3 32 gallon garbage pails of stuff that got burned. About half was legitimate scrap, but the other half was stuff that someone could have probably used. But, hey, I'm moving - can't take it all with me! And I needed it out today so I could stop tripping over it and keep packing - it was taking up too much space in the garage!

And parking it in a chair in front of the fire for about an hour, enjoying a beer, was a much needed break too.

I feel your pain man we moved in June, I am just now staring to miss the stuff I gave away, burned, and hauled to the dump.
 
@DKMD , I am assuming airbrush painted? Those are great. But the way I lose lures (I’m not even a so-so fisherman....), I would hate to use those. My flies, no big deal, but those......
