Got started making bowls for the upcoming season today.
What did you do in your shop today?

Whoa - that's got some curl!!
Continued work on this maple piece. Remember now why I don’t do much big stuff anymore, will do a couple hrs a day til completed.
Shear scraped to refine the shape and surface
Sanded the outside to 400
Established the rim and sanded to 400, will undercut and hollow it next time

I worked on a pair of tiny legs.
Where's the rest of Gumby?
Not gumby, but something even a little weirder. Still have a little bit to do on the body, but should have it done this weekend.
You been watching DeGroot videoes again?
Close, but not one of her designs. It is the same genre though.
I fought with my mill after it jumped the track then cut some of these
Got it hollowed today, will sand and complete the foot next time.
Hollowed as much as can with the tail stock in place
Establish the undercut and blend to the final wall thickness, stage 1
Cut the walls to the bottom, stage 2
Complete hollowing with the gouge and clean it all up with a shear scraper, stage 3

Can’t wait to see the finish “pop” that curl!
Spent two hours sweeping and shoveling.
Then another hour straitening out the 1 of my wood racks.
The raw stuff is outside.

Really nice stash of wood!
I remember seeing the floor in my shop, just not when I could see the floor.
Made a little progress on these two cribbage boards. I got the kingfisher lazer engraved on some maple curly thins I got from Mike (@Mike1950 ) a few years ago. Routed the circular mortise with a Dremel and then used guitar purfling to kind of finish it off and give it a clean edge. Ready to start a few applications of clear wipe on poly I think and a final polish with hard wax (the walnut already has one coat).
Those are awesome!
Those boards are snazzy! Love the Kingfisher! Chuck
I’m in the process of making endgrain cutting board style tortilla presses, and decided my 50 year old Honda needs a new color
Brink: "I'm bored, what should I do? What should I do? Something simple, easy, just to keep me busy. Oh, I know, I'll repaint my Honda." Sheesh, you overachiever you.
I know. I just repainted it in 1995
