Little fun in the shop. Although instead of 3 sets of earrings - only got 2 sets made since one piece flew through the air while sanding and I can't find it.... hard sanding small pieces!

Small snack of 2 Oreos since my hands hurdle holding those little pieces so tightly to sand them.

Made from a cool chunk of wood my mother gave me!

Wrapped up a weekend in the shop

First pair of tongs broke but got 3 pairs done with brass

Made a coffee cup but got tired in the afternoon and ended up screwing up the base and rim - so will need to go back and fix those next weekend

BLO finish (2 coats) but will add more before I call them done

Some squid and eagle ray "attacks" last night on our night dive. They loved our lights! And some very curious little turtles!

Taking a small break from woodworking to get some underwater relief!

Badly practicing dovetails. Having fun playing with aniline dies. Practicing adding oil urethane finish. A day of learning to make our cat a tray to raise up his food bowl :)
