Thanks again for the comments. The boxes will have lids eventually and they can be used for jewelry or stuff that collects on my wifes dresser. Everyone likes boxes for their "stuff".
I try and do a few shows a year and right now I am getting into high gear making stuff for a christmas show. I just started getting into pepper mills and they have been a challenge. It seems every new project requires a few new tools. One of these days the wife will get wise to that.

Real coffee beans cast in acrylic
This has been a challenge but they are real coffee beans cast in an acrylic. It is not easy to machine because the beans are soft and the acrylic is hard. Well worth the challenge.
Let me know if you want one $50.00 plus shipping.

circuit board pen
Here is one that was one tough pen to turn on the lathe.
The polyester resin is like glass and has a tendency to blow out at the wrong time.
This is an actual computer board wrapped around a brass tube and encased in polyester which you machine by hand down to the exact size and then hand sand and polish.

very nice. Even if those PCBs were flexible, it must have been a treat trying to make them stay curved round, especially where the ends met.
Portable defibrillators were first invented to save the lives of linemen. Where's yours?

Stamp pens
Here is a first of what I hope will be many.
I pulled some stamps out of the old collection and did my magic with about 12 coats of super glue over them, then wet sanded and polished.
This week I should have a new prototype pen with pics posted made just for the Lineman. Keep looking it's coming.

Featured SponsorrThe lathe work is in the application of the super glue and the sanding and polishing. There is a real trick to applying super glue to a spinning object.
Also super glue is not cheap. But it makes a great finish.
