So the Covid has got oilrigs not allowing anyone to go to their rigs unless called. Our shop closed up for the week yesterday and basically just sitting until someone calls us. And with oil prices dropping to $22 today, looks like a big crash is definitely coming. So I needed to get my mind off of the pending demise of our industry, again. So I decided to glue up some tubes in a couple sets of the blanks that I got from Exotic Blanks thanks to their Bash donation. They tuned out pretty cool. The wife already took the red and black one. I changed the orientation on that one on purpose. Lol Both are on slimline kits. Thanks for looking!

As my business is moving literally all of my tools are in storage, along with my blanks kits, wood. I actually chopped up a scrap of walnut and turned a 12c pen on a 1640 jet lathe, using the garbage tools i had missed in a draw today.
 
These are beauties, Bobby!

I can't resist this quote from transcendental philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson:
"Guard well your spare moments. They are like uncut diamonds. Discard them and their value will never be known. Improve them and they will become the brightest gems in a useful life"

Keep up the fine work - Bob
