Exciting news!

Well, there has been an unexpected upgrade of equipment this weekend. After winning the grand prize of a new full size lathe I can finally start turning things larger than what my little jet mini lathe could handle. I still need to do some electrical work to get the 220 to the garage but hopefully by the time the temperature cools down enough to work in the garage I should be ready to go. So hopefully there will be salad bowls for Christmas this year!

Summer heat

Well, the summer is upon us and this slows the turning down quite a bit. Even the portable AC can't keep up. Plus with 6 broken ribs I am lucky to get the garage cleaned and organized, let alone some turning done. Plus the garden (brazosgarden.blogspot.com) has to be attended to or it will die. Priorities.
Expect the turning to pick up again in the next month (end of September) with some new stuff and also the Christmas season is just around the corner so ornaments will be coming as well.
