Heard about it, haven’t tasted...yet. Maybe if I win the lottery. Fortunately, my tastes are pretty simple.
What did you do in your shop today?

Spent the morning at the shop unloading the latest lumber run, figured I'd better get some on the shelves while I still can. I like my supplier, they plane and sand everything to my specifications for little to no extra money and the time savings is huge plus it's all really consistent for thickness. Then cut parts for some sewing machine bases I need to fill some orders, took a few photos as my wife is building an e-commerce site for the business now that all my shows at least until the end of July have cancelled. After that came home, ran the mill some more and finished the day with my son supervising a Scout project. With no meetings the scoutmaster sent out a do at home project, kids had to research and build a homemade stove, boil water and cook something simple. Since I brought him a couple number 10 cans he decided we needed two burners and made a fairly involved meal for the family.

Mine are pretty simple too. I did get to try a bottle once or twice. It is good. But my all time favorite is in your stash already....
WT 101 straight was mine. But the clear jar stuff was 2nd only because it wasn't something I could brown bag with.

Thanks Tim, what a way to start the day with that damn song in my head...Red Solo cup, come fill up, Let's have a party...
Those are cool! I assume your going to add findings? Please post a picture of you modeling them when complete
Totally cool! Love the faux coffee. Assuming stabilized??
Kevin, I’ve been collecting various peppermill blanks thinking I’ll get making a lot more than I have. The cool thing about peppermill blanks is they can be repurposed for anything from goblets to small boxes, hollow forms and of course...weed pots.

Yes to the findings. Negative on me modeling them... makes my nipples sore just thinking about it.
Not stabilized. Holly for the mugs and a small walnut plug for the coffee. A little superglue over the top kinda gave it the look of liquid coffee.
The utensils are all pear, and the plates/bowls are spalted maple.

I got some leviton plug ends that I ordered in the mail today so I made up a couple more extension cords. I only use good quality leviton plugs, no cheap Chinese stuff, lol.
I've got a bunch of these yellow cords. I used to be a repair technician at the home depot tool rental, I repaired everything. The cords are from floor drum Sanders, they are heavy duty 10 gage wire. People would run them over with the drum sander and then they would have to be replaced, originally they where 50' long. They would just get thrown out, so I started salvaging them. That's why you see so much of my stuff with these yellow cords, they are very heavy duty and they where free! You can even make 220v cords with them.

I started a new project today that is not for the shop, lol.
It's a table, going to be a little different. I'm making a template because I may end up making more of these if it comes out nice. This is drawn on a piece of solid cardboard, not corrugated.
I cut the pattern out on the scroll saw.
I selected some boards, maple shorts. Been in the shop for years so they are very dry.
I snapped a chalk line on one edge of them and ripped the live edge off with a circular saw.
These boards are really twisted and cupped.
Ripping one edge with the circ saw made it possible to rip 6" boards out of the slabs on the table saw.
Then I jointed them and ran em through the planer, ended up just over 7/8" thick. Then I oriented them for a glue up.
Lots of color variations and some spalt in these boards. Pretty hard maple but I'm not sure what species. Might be Norway maple?

Glad to see you back at it!!
You know, the heavy cup in the maple board makes your index finger look crooked...
This bud vase thing has me going. The last blank I had cut for these things and just still not sure what I am going to do with it yet. This thing really beat me up. My lathe may be “full size” but definitely on the light weight end of full size. Wish I had the turning club’s Powermatic about now......
This is going to be fun.
