The long hair reminded me about the lady who died at a lathe in a university (U of I?) research machine shop. Good thing not to overlook.
What did you do in your shop today?

Keep listing stuff here on WB. Hopefully you'll offload most of what you are trying to offload. Chuck
Finished that tool rack and glue holders on the cabinet that used to hold my lathe. I think it'll work well, helping keep my tools organized and my fixed bench less cluttered.
Congrats! So nice to be better organized! I need to work on a project table myself! Chuck
Keeping it that way is the hard part.
Stickered and stacked to dry all the recently cut blanks and got started on the first production batch for 2025.
That photograph would make interesting wallpaper.
Buddy’s grandkids back into shop this morning. They are planning to be back tomorrow.
I was in the shop but didn't run any tools today. After an ER visit I'm now on blood thinners so I have to be super careful.
Did get some pen kits organized and listed for sale.

Finally got a little time to clear another section of the carport. Made a couple cabinets for a built in area in my brother's camper.
The top is a roll out shelf cabinet . The bottom board screwed on there is a temporary handle to test drive it.
Center drawer is a dumpster find. Hardware and all...
Bottom area will remain open for a tp and trashcan area.
The toilet will be just to the left of this assembly. The center drawer is set to clear the top of the toilet by a couple inches.

Couple of rattles for the new grand baby’s Christmas stocking
is that wall as out of square as it appears?
Yes. The left is the back wall of a Gulfstream camper, which has a bit of a curve to it... Forces you to design from the floor up. You can't hang from the left wall and the right side wall is part of the shower.
ahh i see
Wood was marked as elm. Size is 4X5.5 and finish is WOP. The wife of one of my former sergeants (1975) requested that I make her a bowl. I’m happy to oblige.
Sure looks like elm, nice job.
Cute little bowl! Like the depth, as well as the wood! Chuck
Mushroom
I didn't measure it but I think it is close to 10 inches tall. I CA'd the bark in hopes it doesn't fall off. I'm really not sure of the species? This thing is wetter than wet. I've kept in on the chuck and brought it into the house to let is dry out. I'll return it to the lathe and sand it down in a few days.

Nice! Looks like cherry to me.
