I got a heating pad for my cats, and these two boys who normally don't like to lay near each other found a way to put up with sharing it 😂 #cats #aww #cute #blackcats

Tried my hand at making a pipe! Not bad at all

I've been making rattles for my friends' newborns as a gift, just made this guy, and I think it's my favorite so far!

The first slightly fancier pen kit I've turned, and I'm incredibly proud! Definitely an improvement. I think next I should get a chuck and do some small bowls or boxes!

Two more Christmas gifts down as I continue my adventures with the lathe! These Rockler kits make it pretty simple, but man am I stunned by how the purple heart turned out!

When life gives you lemons, and half your pen blank breaks on the lathe, you combine it to another blank that broke in half... And make lemonade

First shot at an epoxy pen blank. Turning epoxy is definitely different, I think wood is easier, but the way epoxy polishes up is incredible!

Hoping this weekend everyone can relax as much as my buddy Enoch relaxes during my workday

Picked up some beautiful spalted maple, looking for project ideas!

Sometimes you just gotta buy the wood first!

Made my 2nd ever pen last week! (Don't ask to see the 1st one) Very much enjoying getting into turning. Bloodwood on a slimline kit

Did you know that the new box that Jenga comes in is a big rectangle? So if you try to store it as a tower, the box has too much space, so the blocks end up in a big mess!

So I made my own! Closer to how the box used to be for Jenga

Here's a fun rattle I made for a friend's newborn.

It's always so much more fun when a project has the significance this one does!

Possibly the olcooleat thing I've ever done. I built some drawers for storage in my garage, so I decided to give it a little bit of flair. Laser etched MDF drawer fronts with a Philly collage I put together on Photoshop #woodworking #lasercutting #making

For my first bluesky post, here's a really cool laser/woodworking/electronics project I made last year as a gift for a friend!

It's laser etched glass with a really awesome Philly skyline design (not mine), wired in some LEDs and a battery to really show it off!
