Lord of the wire! The story keeps you on the wire the whole way through.
What did you do in your shop today?

I thought it was, "keeps you on the cutting edge the hole way through".?
They're both hot but the blond turned into that demon witch thing in Frodo's dream, remember? And the dark haired one had the ability to control the water in the river. I figure if she went fishing with me and I needed the tide to change or the river to drop a little, she'd be just the ticket.

Well “lord of the edge” is weird. Otherwise it could work too. I didn’t think of it at the time of writing.

Gouge handles two ways. The one on the bottom is a One-way collet which work well. The collet screws onto a sized tenon and holds the gouge with a single set screw. Nice to be able to switch quickly between gouges, but I've been doing that more and more and starting to loose track of the different gouges when they aren't mounted. Only drawback is they are ~$20 each.
Rather than order a bunch, just decided to turn some old fashioned handles. Used a brass fitting turned down to size for a little reinforcement. That one will use a little dollop of epoxy to hold the brass in place. Gouge has a friction fit which will be enough to hold it.
Both are black locust. One on bottom was done yesterday and already has some oil on it. Other will be epoxied tonight and oiled.
Black gouge is a 3/8" shallow detail gouge from Thompson, silver one is a 3/8" bowl gouge from D-Way.

I would they would be the most tolerant of interlopers.
Started yesterday on emptying my trailer of a bunch of spalted ambrosia maple. Cutting up into blanks. Leftovers of these logs...
Now it looks like this...
Now to get it all Anchorsealed and ready for SWAT in August

what did you do with these edges
Those slabs are air drying right now. Gonna be made into a dining room table for the wife.
That should make a beautiful table!
So you didn't trim curved and knotty edges off any of the stuff you turned into blanks? I wasn't just asking about that particular edge, just edges like that.

This were a few large chunks that had a lot of rot. Cut what I could and burning the rest. I could probably find some solid edges tomorrow if you are wanting some.

Those curved edges tend to have curl in them. Make lovely pen blanks and if there is a burly knot there, makes lovely knife scales...
I am not able to slip any more wood past the warden at the moment. I have a box of phinds smalls to explain in the next week or so.
Just something to look at before you light the fire.

I believe I've cut everything worth anything up. If not, oh well. I have WAAAAAAY too many pen blanks in there anyway
I Worked on my dust collector. Seemed like it was working very poorly lately so I decided to find the problem. I eliminated a couple sections of flex hose and a few feet of metal pipe. Then I taped a few joints and added a few screws, I used PVC cement when I installed it but it's sewer and drain pipe and it didn't bond well. After all that it still wasn't working well. My filter was in a corner making it hard to clean so I decided to move it a little bit. To move it I had to disconnect the 6" flex hose that goes from the cyclone to the blower. When I did some shavings fell out, further investigation revealed that a gob of shavings was lodged on the grate that covers the impeller. Had I looked there first it would have been a 10 minute fix but I am happy that I fixed the other issues. It seems like it's working better than ever.
After a very good holiday season it’s back to production work to resupply the stores for ski season. Got a batch started today.
Grrrrrr. I don’t read well
Back for your quarterly visit?
