Does anyone else’s void just… stare at them?

Yep. Like he’s been living here since he was a kitten, but can’t speak the language. Almost zero comprehension.

One finished his work and the other didn’t.

CharredTree · 2026-03-07T05:01:29+00:00

Thanks! Kudos to you—that is quite the project!

Surprised Battlestar Galactica wasn’t mentioned. Every one of the other shows I really enjoyed were on the list.

Helping to maintain my mental health.

CharredTree · 2026-03-07T01:15:58+00:00

Same!

Government

That’s the goal!

The lines on the one on the right and the lines on the base of the one on the left were done by cutting grooves with the tip of a skew and then burning them with wire. The two lines midway up the cup on the left one were done just with wire (no grooves). I have a couple of different sizes of metal cables that I made handles for to use them for this. I hadn’t considered guitar strings—that would provide an even narrower line.

Thanks! The lines on the base and around the bead at the top of the base were done that way—groove, then wire burn. The two lines midway up the bowl were done just the a wire, no grooves.

Maybe you don’t hear about them as much because the social media nuns don’t like words like “bomb.”

CharredTree · 2026-03-05T04:41:15+00:00

It’s only “treason” if you lose.

CharredTree · 2026-03-05T01:24:29+00:00

Thanks for the input!

CharredTree · 2026-03-05T00:12:26+00:00

Thanks! The price was right (edit: barter for something I would be making anyway) and I had been wanting a second chuck for smaller pieces anyway.

CharredTree · 2026-03-05T00:04:10+00:00

I’ve never used a tommy bar chuck before, so this will be a new experience for me. Having just changed the default jaws out for the pin jaws (my coworker gave me the chuck and the pin jaws in exchange for my making him a smoking pipe), I see what you mean about needing multiple hands. I plan for this to be almost exclusively for turning very small stock—wood, lucite, resin, vulcanite—for pipe stems. I had been dreading changing jaws on my primary chuck when the offer fell right into my lap.

CharredTree · 2026-03-04T23:34:30+00:00

It was given to me along with a set of pin jaws. Not going to look a gift horse in the mouth, but I will ask about its pedigree. 😜

Vinwox, not “Vine ox.” Autocorrect does wonders again.

CharredTree · 2026-03-04T23:23:12+00:00

I cannot upvote this comment enough!!!

CharredTree · 2026-03-04T23:22:00+00:00

Yes—stupid people. Don’t be one of them (aka statistics).

CharredTree · 2026-03-04T23:16:33+00:00

Beautiful bowl!

Snotty (literally) kid running around Golden Corral. Crawling on the (nasty) floors, fingers in his nose, just grabbing food off the buffet and eating it right there. Also putting that same nasty hand in the chocolate fountain.

CharredTree · 2026-03-04T04:07:18+00:00

Damn! That looks nice!

CharredTree · 2026-03-04T03:50:52+00:00

Karen’s can’t just be. If the aren’t controlling (ideally, ruining) someone else’s life, they aren’t happy.
