OK MOASS swappers..GAME ON!
Figured I'd better get busy.
I forgot had forgotten how much fun it is to turn wood. 
Merry Christmas all! |

Sweet, Those look most pissah 
that's right about where i'm at with mine right now, All spun, drilled, Lip-slots and Eyes. Glued the weights in last night so I can hit'em with some wood putty tonight. Hope to have them sealed by the weekend.
Nothing better than Xmas in March |

Have no fear Paul.

You can even request custom paint....

Don't worry jklett, you've got plenty of time.
I just found myself with a few hours to spare yesterday morning when the wife went out to finish up some Christmas stuff.
Leave me alone in my basement and the cedar chips are gonna fly!!
I've got a lot more plugs to spin before I get around to finishing these.
This is the other bench that needs to be cleaned before I even start to seal, prime, paint and finish.

Luis,
I don't post much, but I read just about all of this board and the other one too. I know you've been busy making tools and I can't wait to see what you've got up your sleeve. 
BTW, Gary2 was in my shop the other day and I think I've converted him to gromittizin' instead of countersinkin'.

No problem Professor.
He saw me using mine and quickly recognized obvious benefits.

Plugs are looking good Digger. We should start some kind of Moass thread so we can post pics and have some fun along the way. Like a picture of all my wood sitting in a corner...

Sounds good to me Lower.!
To a builder, even a pile of raw wood is interesting

I also see a section of running rail. Are you using that as an anvil?

Nice catch John.
Yeah, I cut a couple of sections of old freight rail that I use for anvils. That's the shortie. Those rails have some great angles. They are especially good for workin' plug lips.
