Thank you @Stevenski it's been a bloody good laugh so far. Hectic and scary but fun no doubt.

This stem was supposed to be an experiment with another process for it to go thru but it looked too good as it is.

So nice to be able to post pictures
Some great stuff going on in this Blackwood, if it doesn't sell then it's back on the lathe.

Trying to get some video of the ribbons this blank was giving off has just reinforced my need for a better set up with a long articulated arm so I can get the camera in the right place.

I just got a fresh batch of GDP & Rosin GSC + OG (OCEAN GROWN) IN DA HOUSE + A MYSTERY JAR? = CIVILIZED

JUST MISSING A STEM BY: @phattpiggie 2 complete this day!

I checked my wood pile and found BLOODWOOD too?
@Baron23 U only vape at night?

27/7 is da way da truth & da life

Of course, now I'm dying to know what that was.... always fun when you get inventive! :popcorn:

I've said it before.. watching those ribbons never gets old. :biggrin:

@ataxian I think you would love one of these stems..... and how cool for it to be made with some of your wood that has memories. What a special piece. :thumbsup:
 
@momofthegoons I had to be very inventive getting my fone to sit where I wanted it.
There's a bit of a jig to make before I can properly try the idea out.
I found a couple of other blanks I've been wanting to turn so I'll try one of them.

@ataxian PM me some pictures of what you have. We can work something out that won't cost a fortune in shipping.
I'm a bit over MEDICATED at present!
ROSIN is ver powerful.
"M"'d all day!
Let's respond when just flower?
Central Coast CANNABIS = CIVILIZED
TOP SHELF = EGO IN POCKET

SHOULD I HAVE SOMEONE CUT THE WOOD BEFORE I SEND IT?

Your like da Michael Angelo of Cannabis!
I never had Blackwood ?
 
@ataxian thank you, again.
It's going to cost less to ship a couple or three blanks than a big lump of wood.
African Blackwood is a lovely wood to turn and finish. It has great spit resistance and if you didn't know some bits can easily be mistaken for plastic.

South African Kiaat got a bit of love today and again it finished so smooth. This piece has no wax applied to it. Blackwood ends.

Just in case Sony spit a dummy

Had a request for a Brazilian Tulipwood Twist, which I turned and filed in the normal right hand configuration that I do.
In conversation with the customer and it turns out they are left handed so a left hand version got done as well, both will get sent out and they can decide which they prefer.

I've been asked if the twist make any difference to the spinning of a VC, you decide.


Also took the 18650 battery sled and Tic Tac box from around a Skelly and rehoused it in a Crab Apple enclosure, Blackwood band and a Mahogany base, just needs plugging into a 12v supply now.

And of course it had to be tested out

Absolutely fabulous! I was wondering what your next design would be for an enclosure.... and you have not disappointed. I love the rounded top. Very sleek. :thumbsup:
 
Seafood frenzy while we are down here, last night's fried baby squid.

More octopus and a bit of steak for tonight, no BBQ so a George Foreman will have to do.

Once back home I'll have a few more days with Mrs PP and my little one before I set to for a fortnights uninterrupted turning.
Playing catch up seems to be the way of my world.
Stems and some IH enclosures are on the cards.
Anyone with a Jarhead we've discovered by accident that S&B Mighty power adapters work just as well as the bulky PSU's so if want a neater more compact option and have one kicking around give it a whirl.
 
Ohhhh if its fried its on @phattpiggie I can get down with that!
 
I was going to use this enclosure for a lipo battery but it was a little on the tight side.
Bocote was all one plank but there wasn't enough to finish the sides so I went with Spalted Beech.
All bits of wood that were leftovers or odd shaped.
Some other ideas Billy'ing around in my skull for these.
The difference in this picture of it part sanded

To this with wax is always great to see

Thanks @momofthegoons it's good to put offcuts together.
Thuya and BW square in the making

Turned and filed tomorrow hopefully

I had a try at another shape for the IH's but it didn't work out.
It should been off the lathe and in the firewood bucket when this piece of internal branch parted company with the main body of the Yew blank

As you can see it's split all over

I'm sure I'll be able to reuse the lid at some point.
