I'm still playing with the 2 part, 30 minute epoxy. I have refined my set up and application process. I am still learning. Here are some rules I use a low RPM manual setup to regulate RPM 1. MOST IMPORTANT! Clean your lathe and surrounding area of all dust. Just one little mistake will show up and stay. 2 Apply slowly with a small brush while turning at slow RPM 3. Go over any areas that look like they need it. Remember that curing time can creep up on you. 4. Once you are satisfied, allow the piece to continue turning for 45 minutes (curing time is 30 minutes on the epoxy I used) 5. Shut down and allow it stand in the lathe for 24 hours for a full cure. It does look like glass. NOT everyone likes Christmas ornaments that look like that. I do.

As the isolation gets more serious and we stay at home away from crowds, I am finding that I am doing those things that I always said "I'll get around to it someday" I am using that wood that I had put away for a project I'll do some day. I also am reorganizing those shelves, cabinets and tool storage areas that I'd do "someday" The wrenches and other tools........yep them too. I seldom use them so they are just laying near the area where they were stored in my tool box. When we have warm, sunny days I do small jobs in the yard that I'd get to next Spring. If I run out of things to do, I hope my wife don't know it, if she finds out, then she'll want her stuff reorganized too I am hoping that a preventive vaccine will be available before next winter, but I am not holding my breath.

I don't like to make any two alike and this proves it. I don't know all the wood types. I can guess but so can any one of you. Some exotic, some common, some I'll never know (Christmas gifts)
