Whats up for the weekend and next week

Hi Everyone,

I will probably be in the shop this evening and tomorrow as well. Im going to finish sanding the walnut bowls and get them ready for a finish and delivery to their new owners. Ill post final pictures only of those bowls.

The black ash bowl is still on the lathe and guess what?!! It has sold already! Ill need to finish turning it and sand it too and Ill post pictures of the finished project, probably next week before it goes to its new home.

And Ive got a two part project coming up: Im going to be making a collet chuck for the lathe so I can turn a coffee scoop. So Ill have pictures and discussion for you on how to make tools for the lathe and how these tools can be applied to specialized turning problems, in this case, a small diameter turning.

And our 30th wedding anniversary is coming up and Ive asked my husband for some carving knives so I can carve some kitchen spoons. Yes, I have finally caved into several requests for spoons.

So stay tuned and Ill be back shortly with the coffee scoop project.

Best,
VW
