Great lookin' stopper! Sorry about the bowls. Can you salvage them?

Did you at least LEARN something from the blow-ups?

If so, all is not lost. We ALL have blowups now and then and have to remember what we did wrong, so it doesn't happen too many times.

That's HARD for us old foggies................"Senior Moments" you know!

Keep the faith!

I said killed not injured. I went through the bottom of one cause I did not take the hole I had turned in the bottom to chuck it into account when measureing my depth. The other piece had a bunch of cracks in the wood and split in half when I had a catch. I did learn that I was smart wearing my face shield since one of the halfs bounced of my shield.

I like the shape you chosen for this bottle stopper Mike. It's conservative and classy. It would make piece#1 of a very cool set! :)

Too funny Mr Conklin!!!:D

Then it was a GOOD day, Mike. No bumps or gashes or bruises!

There's Always MORE WOOD.
