What's in the mail?

I started the build thread, heres the link.

 
This is a single point diamond grinding wheel dresser. I have an idea for a tool that I want to make with this, if it works it will make an out of round wheel round and run true with less vibration.

I’ve got bits and pieces of a set of forstner bits, buying cheap ones as a project calls for a particular size. This set should cover all bases. Highland Woodworking had them on sale this week for about 1/3 off.

Time to step drill that hollow form so I don’t bend my quill (again).

Decided to give shellac a try, ordered this sampler pack, I tried some rattle can shellac recently and it seemed to really pop the wood, so I'm going to explore further....

I've always wanted to try the garnet but keep forgetting to order it.

I’d be interested in the results of your dickering, Barry. Especially interested to know if it causes any yellowing.

I've not used a huge amount on turnings, but do on flat work. I love the look of garnet on walnut and cherry. Ruby is another color of flakes that I've used on cherry and Apple.

I did a basement clean-out today (not mine) and found a quart bag of shellac flakes. Not sure on color.
As I understand, the lighter the flakes, the lighter the color, you could use the samples above as a reference....

Well Barry, I was tired last night and did not want to use the steps. Being 14 degrees this morning, decided to get the stove going again and down the the steps I went without issue. The bag is labeled, Variety: Dewaxed Beige, Lot#B103-023014, Nwt Weight: 1 pound

Now to figure out what I'm doing with the stuff...
 
Got a new book to help learn some things about my new gopro.

Been seeing an add for the new Hero 9 At what looks like a great price. Need to figure out if there is enough difference from my 3 to make it worth it. Don’t use it often but really enjoy the pics and movies when I do use it.
 
Why did you cancel? Find another?
I never did get any acknowledgement from them other than a thank you for trusting them letter. In my account online there is my info showing its been ordered but that's all. So I sent customer support an email asking for any updates. They responding and said it's on backorder and wont receive it at the warehouse until after September 28, 2021 :shok: :cry2: I'll look elsewhere

That is a real bummer!!!!!!!!! And...…...bummer for me as I was looking at the same model for this spring; possibly sharing it with a buddy to save costs. He and his family are also building a house and he is doing all of his cabinets!! Sorry to hear Barry.
