Another smartphone holder turned on the lathe, walnut with a thin maple lamination.
I wasn’t sure this would be saved, as I was learning not to use a spindle roughing gouge and to use a bowl gouge it exploded and his the back wall.
I wanted to take a better picture of my lathe. General 260, with fill block and 4″ risers. It also has a 60″ extension.
So that’s what loud crack was last night. Ah sheit.
Someone left a burner on the stove. RIP cutting board.
We received cellphones at work to replace out desk phones and landlines in an effort to save the country money so I have this little thing laying flat on my desk all day. I decided to take some scrap material and make a stand for it.
This weekend I put together the playhouse we got with the help of Hayden and Melodie’s grandparents!
After 3 days and a little sunburn it’s done.
And they like it 🙂
Here’s a photo now in February of how much my walnut kitchen table has shrunk within the floating breadboard ends. Good thing they’re able to move around or the ends would have cracked the joint.
I expect in the summer they will either come back or even expand past the end caps.
I finished two shop mallets for chisels, joinery and for using workbench holdfasts, one large and one smaller.
Material used was maple with walnut accents. The mortise in the head is angled to match the tapered handle so it can slip out backwards but will tighten when swung.
Today I turned this wooden mallet for chisels and carving made of a solid maple blank.
