Getting Restarted


Working in my woodshop area this past winter was well nigh impossible. When it wasn't too cold or too dark, I had too many other things on my plate to deal with. Spring is bringing a change to all that.
It's warmer and the sun is not down yet when I get home from work. Now I have a little bit of time to devote to my woodworking.

I did purchase a few tools and accessories for the shop. Most notable is the self-centering chuck for my wood lathe. That has resulted in the picture above. I am looking to make small saleable items. They are for sale through the website here by sending me an email. Above are bud vases. The darker coloured ones are cherry and the light coloured ones are apple wood. I happened to have saved a small amount of those during the winter and they have seasoned enough to work with. I am looking for other useful items I can make and suggestions are welcome unless you're telling me to make pens. I know they are popular but every potential vendor in the area is already selling those for other craftsmen in the area. I don't really want to wedge myself into an already crowded market.

I have cleared a number of items off my to-do list and I am hoping to consistently start making posts here as well as create new content for the YouTube channel. Thanks to everyone for giving me a look.
