August turnings

Sometimes I feel like I don't get in the shop enough to turn. This month I rebuilt a Stump grinder and so far have cut out 3 stumps. I'm refinishing an Old Walnut desk. I just have one drawer to redo and it will all be done. I'm working on our power washer and I just rebuilt my garage door opener. It was 20 years old and only had one bad nylon gear. I'll bet the new door openers won't last that long.

Anyway here is a shot of what I've done in the shop turning wise. I didn't include a photo of the 6 mock up pieces I built for the executive baby rattles. There are 17 ornaments, 1 platter, 3 bowls, and 6 executive baby rattles.

Guess I was a little busier than I thought. OH that also includes cutting up this tree for my neighbor. The tree guys took it down. I cut it up into sections small enough to get on my trailer except for the 2 big logs they brought over on a forklift.

What's with the name? I've worked for some "big babies", is that the same?

I call them executive baby rattles because if I sell them they will be too high for baby rattles and they also would not meet government guidlines for baby chew things.

Might need an executive pacifier to go with it. Oh, they have those. I think they are called "shot glasses".
