How's Your Day? Archives

that is provided your lines are drawn across the true diameter of the circle, and not at the edge....

fortunately, at the moment I'm starting with square stock, so finding the center is as easy as making an X from corner to corner on a bandsaw
unfortunately, at the moment I'm starting with square stock, which requires the extra effort of turning the stock round before I can start shaping it.

 

Which reminds me, I'm probably gonna go to HF this weekend and get a set of those cheap gouges... Jim, you gonna be around? I might want to bring it over so you can get me started. I also need to find some soft stock for practice. I'm really hoping that my clay idea will work. As I understand it, you have to turn the clay in reverse--either raw or semi-cooked.

 

morning guys

 

well, I don't know about semi-cooked, but there's something in there about half-baked :happy102

I should be around, I think my wife has plans for Easter Bunny pics for the kids, but I plan on mowing during that time frame (though I'll probably end up at the pics....)
I'll bring you some carrots, Calvin

other than that, I should be around

edit: oh, and I have a piece of pine you can have

 

mornin' Jen!

 

Did you actually sleep, Jen? :happy102

I napped from about 3ish until 6 or 7 and then got up to watch a little TV and drink my coffee.

I think I'll take the motorcycle out for a little early lunch.
The weather is beautiful here today. A bit cool, but at least not as windy as it was yesterday.

 

I fell asleep around 7 and woke up at 9:30 which was just enough time to sign up for housing next semester and run my ass to my psych quiz that was at 10. I'm currently finishing off a venti coffee frap with 5 shots of espresso in it

 

i have confirmed that that current handle is cocobolo, I just had never seen it with the lighter color in it, but a little research revealed just that.

now, to figure out the best way to finish it....

 

Hey Jim... you can get rid of Captain Feathersword now. That was quick... how chatty were you in the last 2 days?

Jen, glad to hear you got the dorm thing done in time.... and your psych quiz.

 

For me that'd probably be sufficient caffeine.
For the uninitiated, that would be enough to allow you to phase through walls not unlike Kitty Pride.
You're a college student so you're probably somewhere in between those two. :happy102

 

I use to work at a coffee shop, if I put less then 4 shots in my coffee I don't feel it

 

Ahh, sweet!
but, are you saying you're not a Captain Feathersword fan?

 

When you first posted that avatar, I thought his name was Captain Ticklefeather.

I don't know where my mind was...

 

As I recall, he was one of the more annoying aspects of the show... at least he was a few steps above Dorothy the Dinosaur.

On the other hand... I feel like I have been a razor rippler for too long. Maybe if I knew what that meant. I guess it still beats Mr. Clubman.

 

apparently somewhere we weren't supposed to know about......tell us more!

 

yes, it's hard to beat Dorothy the Dinosaur annoying, but he tried real hard!

I'm surprised these last two titles were fairly short lived, it always seemed like the higher the post count, the longer the title stuck for some reason

who knows
at least I'm not masticable all the same (over here, anyway )

 

good morning HYDers! Quiet in here again looks like.

 

Who's Dorothy the Dinosaur?

 

You'll go blind doing that anyway.

 

Try "Shave Bandit".
