I get a shop day!

[GoodTurns]

My wife and her Mom are off on their annual pilgrimage to the Philadelphia Flower Show so I have the house to myself! Taking the afternoon off from work to go play...I have a stack of to-be-cut or turned blanks that I can't do with her in the house...ebonite, antler, horn, bone...all the stinky stuff! Supposed to be warm here the next couple of days so I can get the house opened up and hopefully "refreshed" before she gets back! All of the above materials are banned from use when she is around... and she wonders why I don't mind dropping her at the airport to go visit Mom...:biggrin:

After all that has happened with the USPS you deserve a good day in the shop.

Fortunately, Ah keep my feathers numbered for just such an emergency .... I still have a blank or two to work on!

Based on the avatar I'd say he's a winter caretaker for a remote Colorado mountain resort.

Lucky you!! I am in the same boat of not being able to turn or drill "stinky" material when my wife is around. No doubt though she will still smell something when she returns even if I have been airing out the house the whole time. Have a great time!

Yeah, women are crazy sometimes. If I turn an acrylic pen, my wife can smell it a mile away and complain about it being so "strong", yet she'll sit down in the living room and paint her toenails!! With acrylic nail polish!!

Well, it stunk.... left the house fan on today, hoping it will be clear when she gets home tonight...

Did all the cutting and drilling with the full respirator setup, so didn't smell a thing, until I took the mask off for a drink...gaaaaa... I now have a bunch of dismembered gators, giraffes and ebonites (where do they live?) to work with!

I use to work , now I do nothing all day. And some days I don't finish ,so I have to try to finish doing nothing, the very next day. It's a hard life ,but someone has to do it.....
