@stefano Having software that’s “done,” doesn’t fit into any business plan people can think of. And yet it was always what I aspired to, as well.

Called the bowl done today, after getting tired of the long cure times with Tried and True Varnish Oil and switching to Birchwood Casey TruOil gunstock finish on the outside. I think it came out looking pretty good. #WoodTurning #Resin

Finished putting together a table saw blade case. I don’t **switch** blades on the table saw very often, but I have enough different blades that moving them around and keeping them out of the way was becoming a problem. No more. It currently holds 6 blades, but I can easily add storage for 2 or 3 more if that’s needed. I’m pondering painting the MDF sides of the case, but haven’t decided on a color or design yet. #WoodWorking #Storage

Finished up the ex-shop-stool and now it’s my “putting on socks” stool. Looks pretty sharp, too. #woodWorking

No photos today; when I inspected the bowl this morning, I figured it’s about as good as I’m going to get it, so I started applying some Tried & True Varnish Oil. Got the first coat on and buffed out, and now it has to sit until tomorrow before I can scuff it with 0000 steel wool, and apply another coat.

I also cut some live oak scraps into equilateral triangles. I’ll cut some similarly-sized walnut or bubinga triangles. Plan is a big hexagonal blank which will be part of a bigger project.

Another morning working on the bowl. This morning was almost entirely card scraper work, though there was a little sandpaper for a few spots. Then a coat of 50-50 tung and orange oil. I’ll let that dry, give it another inspection and then on to the bulk of the finishing if all is well. More deets in the alt-text. #woodWorking #Finishing #FinishingPrep
