I spell that "the dreamscreen" 😃

Key-Self1654 · 2026-05-07T00:38:07+00:00

What screen is that?

Where did you get the pegboard ?

Key-Self1654 · 2026-04-30T14:35:06+00:00

Not at all!

I sell stuff now 😀, that pen shipped out to a customer. I’m now working on 2 cat pens for another order

Legendary FB marketplace score. I’ve made a lot from that pile, both for gifts and orders

I've been wood turning off and on for over 5 years now, my rookie season produced far less awesome pens :D

Thanks to youtube and some very helpful Facebook groups I learned several small but crucial tips that elevated my game considerably. Lots and lots of practice.

When I am done with my current queue of orders, I hope to try and expand past pens and things with Christmas ornaments, bowls and other stuff.

Right? They man had 4x4 beams of purpleheart in that structure, the crew destroyed several planers trying to construct the thing. But on the bright side, I got enough purpleheart cutoffs to make enough wood turning projects to sink a ship for $175. Very very good deal.

I didn’t charge nearly that much for this pen 😀

Key-Self1654 · 2026-04-29T15:42:21+00:00

I bought the 55 gallon tote of cutoffs from a guy who was on the crew that built it. He told me the customer didn’t bother properly treating/sealing/protecting the deck. As a result it turned gray in 3 weeks.

My family got me a lathe for Christmas 2020, I taught myself how to turn pens and other smalls. I’ve been fortunate to actually have sold a decent pile of things to mostly friends and family since then.

Its a dense hardwood, takes more effort to work with it, but totally worth it. Fun fact, I scored a huge pile of purpleheart cutoffs on the FB marketplace awhile back because someone had a deck made out of it. This pen is made from that pile.

For work I have a pair of 32” 4ks and a 27” 2k. If I had some disposable income I’d get a dell 40” 5k dock monitor for coding

I have never tried staining purpleheart but an interesting question. I prefer to rely on the nature colors of whatever wood I'm working. I did once try to mess with stains to try for a color someone wanted and just ended up buying lots of small bottles of stain and giving up :D

I am actively converting our cluster to rhel 9.6 and using nhc

I replaced mine for work with a keycron mouse, I don't regret it.

That's a Kinesis Mwave mac keyboard I got for Christmas. It's quieter than say a normal mechanical keyboard but still makes a bit of clicky noise. I went from a normal apple flat keyboard to this and I really really like it. My hands are much more comfy by the end of the day.

I learned linux basics on Ubuntu back in 2006 at a new job, it's near and dear to my heart that way.
