Lathe Projects

Here is a few of the pillar candleholders I have been making on the lathe lately. The ones on the right side are the more recent creations. Most of the creations I make I leave natural finish & some a light stain. Notice there is one black one on the table. I actually have several other black ones in the drying process. When I paint them I get a bit anxious for the paint to dry. Too much heat from the heat gun & ....oops the paint bubbles. So I have to work on them more.

After things sit about one day in the shop they soon become covered with a fine coating of dust. Candleholders have been my projects now for a couple of weeks. Starting tomorrow I am changing projects. I will be going back to making kerosene oil lamps once again .I ordered some different burners that use a half pint jar instead of the tin canister I used in the past. These will be a lot cheaper to make.

Lat week I cleaned up the shavings that have been accumulating by the lathe for a couple of months. I hauled 3 – 16 gallon loads of shavings out that day. Today I started on making more shavings.

Frosty Bear Lake

Not to make everybody who doesn’t live in “Gods Country" jealous but...........This was taken a few weeks ago during our foggy spell. The east side of the lake was clear, but the west side was socked in. We drive out by the lake just for something to do. Neither one of us likes to just sit around on Lynette’s day off. I much prefer driving out by the lake rather than drive to Poky or Logan. The drive to Logan is pretty but the Wal-Mart trap always sucks us in for about $100.bucks. I am trying to save money for my greenhouse & Wal-Mart does its best to keep me from saving towards it.

My CUTE Lady!

Lynette modeling some of her new clothes. About every time we go to a store she finds clothes for a good deal & she gets some. This isn’t even her Newest clothes. She even likes her picture taken since she has become so cute.
