Hat's off to you guys actually succeeding at your projects.
Aside from the latest pen project (I wrote up a thread on) all projects lately have been disastrous. Some of these disasters occurring in the last seconds of work.
Case in Point!
I've mentioned before that I buff my pens for final polish. I also mentioned that you need to hang on those suckers. I was on my last pass for buffing when the buffing wheel grabbed the pen barrel and flung it across the garage.
It turns out that Polyester Resin and high speed impact with concrete are not the best combination! This was the result.

This blank was hand cast by me and I only have 2 more like it; 1 of those is already cut up for a slimline stylus. 2 other pens failed during turning, 2 other turning projects either chipped out or didn't turn out as desired and have been shelved.
My entire weekend in the shop was fraught with issues like this. On top of that I detected a noticeable wobble in the quill of my SS. Time to replace the quill bearing again. I did manage to turn a Christmas tree finial for one of the chipped out projects. And I was able to glue up 2 sections of plywood cutoffs to form a square my wife wants for a project so the weekend was not a total failure.
It's just been rough the last couple of weeks.
On the plus side, I did make a lot of chips and sawdust:rolleyes:

Coffee Travel Mug
Hey, I can't always compete on Talent, but I can do lathe blowouts with the best of them! 
This is my 3rd coffee travel-mug in 4 years. This one actually is the prettiest I've achieved, but it was not without some disintegration during the turning/paring processes. All is now recovered -- good thing since this is for the better half.....

Hey Joe,
We call 'em "rack jacks." It's a thin piece of oak (maybe 1/4" or more) about 1-1/2" wide (or less) by 8-10" long. It's function is to pull out the hot rack in an oven and shove it back in when baking stuff. The women in my family (the ones that cook anyway) love 'em. Pretty simple to make. Can probably give better info if you're interested, maybe even a pattern!

Brilliant! I've never heard of these before but I want to make a set. I'd certainly appreciate a pattern or other info.fiatben wrote:Hey Joe,

We always called them an "oven doofer".
