It’s that time again! The Abiding Love Holiday Market is set up and ready to rock for tomorrow morning. See you there at 9am! The Craft Fair is in Southwest Austin this Saturday from 9am to 3pm. With lots of handmade gifts it’s a grea
Get out & do it y’all.
That moment when your feelings all the Texas feels! What’s better than hanging out with your ever-lovin’ on a patch of grass listening to Willie Nelson play live for the Austin City Limits 50th anniversary under the open stars and a harv
Finally made it back to the shop after way too long away. There’s nothing quite like having your fridge and microwave go out at the same time to focus one on the basics of life. This little rustic bowl came together from a piece of reclaimed
Hey @vancityreynolds, I must have loved Deadpool even more than I thought… I went to the shop for a little stress relief at the lathe this weekend and wound up meeting a friend of yours. Say hello to Vasepool… Turns out this guy was
A small cedar bowl from a tree in our backyard that came down after the freeze a few years ago. Looking good in those pinstripes! #Tinkery #atx #woodworking #carpentry #dustylife #shoplife #sawdust #make #handmade #gethandsdirty #craft #craf
Finally getting around to making a home for all those clamps to get them out of the corners and off the floor: #clampchamp #Tinkery #atx #woodworking #carpentry #dustylife #shoplife #sawdust #make #handmade #gethandsdirty #craft #crafty #worki
Got a sister bowl out of the pear branch donated by the wind. I think this one came out even better than the first one. It’s pretty green so I decided to see what happens with the shape as it dries. I’m sure it will go somewhat pear sh
Why wait ‘till Christmas? Acacia wood stars are always in season! Found a few acacia wood scraps at the bottom of the bin and decided to do something better with them than the disposal. I think they came out pretty well! #Tinkery #atx #wo
The wind took out a few limbs from a local pear tree. I was excited to try my hand at turning a new wood for me. I think this guy came out ok. I finished the piece with @triedandtruewoodfinish danish oil and the color & shape of the piece remind
Using a few @magswitch_automation magnets and a few @rockler_woodworking fittings to Improve the dust collection situation on the lathe. #Tinkery #atx #woodworking #carpentry #dustylife #shoplife #sawdust #make #handmade #gethandsdirty #craft
Going a bit more refined on this one with a companion vase for the rustic cypress bowl. It’s hard to believe that these two pieces came out of the same tree but they each shine in their own way. The graceful curves of the vase offer a stark
A rustic bowl this time. No lathe but lots of chisels, grinders, and even more sanding. From raw log to finished bowl, this guy came out of the same raw cypress log that produced the bowl that I posted earlier. This one has its own rugged beauty t
From raw log to finished bowl, this gorgeous cypress beauty turned out great! #Tinkery #atx #woodworking #carpentry #dustylife #shoplife #sawdust #make #handmade #gethandsdirty #craft #crafty #workinghands #woodturning #lathe #make #behindt
A beautiful cypress turning takes shape on the lathe! The juxtaposition of the symmetrical bowl with the rough exterior provides a beautiful contrast that still lets the grain sing. The rough exterior made it a challenge to sand it through the gri
Epic times today as we hopped into the Hill Country Highways out of Austin to outrun the clouds for a better chance at a clear view of the eclipse! We managed to get a clear view and couple of epic photos between the clouds off the side of the road
A few more glamour shots of that oak burl vase now that it’s done. I thought it looked great after sanding but man did it pop with some finish on it! I sanded it to 220 and gave it a friction polish with my homemade polymerized linseed oil a
Turning an oak burl into a beautiful vase on the @lagunatools 12|16 lathe. There was some wild grain on this little guy and the wood is incredibly dense. It is way heavier than it looks. The burl grew into itself and the black areas of the vase ap
Found this pic from a few months back. Batching out hearts before Valentine’s Day! These little guys are made from hardwood, batched out with a jig on the router table, and then sanded up to 220 to make them nice & smooth before adding a s
That moment when your clamp handle breaks, you glance at the scrap bin in the corner, and think to yourself “It’s Go Time!” Used the lathe to turn a copy of the original handle out of walnut, then used some epoxy to hold it in pla
