What did you do in your shop today?

I unloaded my latest wood score!!!:yipee: A load of Bottle Brush Burls on a curb for bulk trash! Then Cindy & I went back & got about 25% more of them.
Met the home owner & he showed us five foot of the tree trunk is in the back yard covered in burl and another whole tree he is cutting down next month with even more burls on it!! Yowza!!!
Been waiting for a tree like this. Got three wood hats on order & now I have the fresh burls to make them & many other things.

BBB fresh.webp

That is too cool Lee! If you have some small ones you don't need I'd like to play with some, maybe we could work something out.

Wow what a score! I agree with Tony, if you have some you don't need send em our way

I think you two are overstepping your request. There's barely enough there for both Lee and myself!!
 
Ahhh, so now instead of just being a box (to put bodies in)....it's a tool cart....gotcha....wink, wink

All joking aside, looks good. I need to build something like that for my drill press. What tool are you putting on it?
 
Thanks for the link, very nice shop area. Beats the heck out of my two car garage (minus the cars) shop. And now I just need to copy your tool cart and I have what I need for my drill press.
 
I mounted the new 12" nova cole jaws with the extensions.
This is the old 10" jaw sitting on top of the new 12" jaw.

And I used the longer cork grippers that the @Spinartist guy hooked me up with.

And since it's been awhile I gave the lathe bed a good coat of wax.
