Wow, this is amazing. What area of central Florida is your shop. I need to stop by and get some pointers. My wife wanted me to get a new hobby (and not buy another tank). I have always wanted learn some woodworking skills so I am setting up a small shop in my garage. Unbeknownst to her, I will soon be able to make my own tank stand. :)

Not really woodworking, but it is made from wood...lol. A fun little Sunday project. Finally got around to replacing the fence destroyed by Irma a year and a half ago. Procrastination is my strong suite. :cool:

Been turning about everyday and each item gets better and better. Made these today.

Those are beautiful. I really need to practice more on my turning. That's one thing I'm really not very good at.

Man I gotta get my lathe set up! Nice work!!

Thanks guys. There are a few oppsies on the bowl but that is what makes it unique. ;)

I do enjoy the occasional wood project. I made this mini arcade cabinet, and these chairs.

Let's discuss the darker side of wood working and I'll start with a question. Table saw vs. a thumb - who wins? Judging by the stitches I acquired this afternoon, I'm going to go with the table saw. :mad:

Classic case of "Stupid is as Stupid Does."

Oh no! How bad did it get you? Praying for a speedy recovery for you David.

Honestly I got lucky...deep but not bone deep. Blood thinners didn't help the situation either ...lol.

I'll be fine, just embarrassed. Just posting as a PSA to be careful in your shops. :):cool:

Ouch!!! You're lucky....not too bad.

I have a table saw, but am a Radial Arm person. I think I've used my table saw maybe five times....

And your finger is the reason...too dangerous for me (and I was raised on radial arm...that's what my dad had.)

Now that said, I can't watch anyone (my son-in-law) use my radial arm....it freaks me out with that spinning blade so close to fingers and arms.

Glad to hear it’s not too bad!

Paul...the radial arm is a tool I don't own. This was a classic case of stupidity and I know better. Fun fact...my push stick was laying on top of the fence!!!

I have a table saw and have used it many times and I still get a little nervous every time I flip that button on. Hope the finger heals up

dang, you’re very fortunate that it’s still attached.

Much like reef keeping, I’m getting back in to woodworking after a long hiatus. My tank stank was one of my first major forays back in to the hobby (i actually designed it to match a TV stand I built her). Now the wife has tons of woodworking projects lined up for me.

That is some beautiful work there my friend.
