What's in the mail?

Well, my replacement dust collector showed up late yesterday afternoon. It was intact and packaged properly( miracle). Now I can finally start on setting up my dust collection system over the next week or two.
 
Picked up one of these harbor freight tool stands to put the new morticer on.

And I got a couple of sets of small funnels. One set for the shop and one set for the garage. Very useful for transferring fluids to smaller containers.

My scrap and cut off box needs a redo so I got some casters for it.

And I got a couple more of these heavy duty adjustable table leg feet. I decided I'm upgrading all the legs on the Laguna saw when I do the outfeed tables..

Pics of the shelix? I want one for my jointer.
Very cool 😎 oh yeah the wood is nice too, lol. Love the big burl pics.
 
Woo hoo, finally got my 10 wt fly rod back from Sage. I got ready to set it up with a big cuda fly during my last trip in March. Took it out of the tube and found the tip broke. That was weird because it had been in the PVC tube the entire trip up to that point. After a little forensic investigation I concluded it must have gotten pinched against the big stripping guide. I put all the pieces in the rod sock the way they came out and found the break on the tip matched up precisely where it would have lain against the big stripping guide. Probably the airline handlers tossed my bag around and it was just enough to fracture that tip section. Sage has been super jammed for a long time so it's taking them months to return rods. But now I get to re-wrap the guides in that tip.
 
I got the wheel mobility kit for the tool stand build.
Pretty nice kit for $40 on amaAmazon.

Had a 14 hour work day Thursday and was wiped out when I got home. Was happy to see a package on the kitchen table, but grandson called to face time. After the call, I was out cold. Friday morning I opened the package to find a 'Sindora burl' sample blank and a 'Laos Ironwood' sample blank. These are waxed so will post in time after working up. I also had some fresh rough cut plank cut offs of 'Bee bee tree', Tetradium danielii and of 'Lavelle corktree', Phellodendron lavallei in the package. The 'cork tree' was wet enough that it molded at the cambium and bark interface during shipping. Amazing how fast things can happen. These are rough-cut, so will picture them later as well. Look forward to working them all.

Thanks Eric

Got my rosette making jig so I can start the rosette on guitar #2.

Also bought two finial blanks that have multi-prong settings for gem stones, etc. That first set of lamps I built needed finials. I thought I had two extras but not. I also stopped by the gem show out in Prineville last Friday and bought two pairs of polished stones - I think these are local jaspers. But the colors should go well with the quilt my wife made for the guest bedroom so that's where these will go when I glue them up.
