Swap Plugs been eating up my time. I got 13 more to epoxy and then they'll be on their way. When those are done it will be my turn

needles

I made one that worked well for me last year so i figgured I'd try some more. I don't know if the picture shows it well but I dusted it with a rattle can of glitter before I epoxied it and it came out really cool.

Bumming out here Eben. Been working on table saw, chop saw, router, planer, joiner, drill press, but have yet to be able to wheel out the lathe Work is getting in the way of progress. But it's good to have the work! I gonna be in chit if/when TDF, Luds48, Clogston, and Steelhead all make good on their threats to show up in the shop.
