Good Morning Everyone,
It was a good weekend for me as I took some much needed time off from work and got some things done around the house that I needed to get done. I did make it out to the shop and turned some wood for a change. Our woodstove tool set needed new handles as the old pot metal ones had broken off and the LOML wanted to have handles on the tool set again. I went out to the shop and cranked up the lathe for the first time in a few years. It sure felt good to be back in the shop again and to be turning wood once more. I found out that I still lack good skill with the skew on the lathe but I managed to turn 3 handles that I needed to get done.
My hope is that I'll get back out there and make some more stuff while the temps are cool....I have natural gas heat in my shop, so my shop is really comfortable through the late fall until early summer. The LOML is happy about the handles on the tool set and I'm happy because I was in the shop for a while.
This is Thanksgiving week and I sure hope and pray that all of you have a great Thanksgiving with your family and friends. Celebrate well and be safe as always.
That's it for me....so what did YOU do this past weekend??
Best of weeks to you all.!!
