Here’s a couple of mugs I made in Madison’s mug class, and a cigar ash tray I made in Beth’s hand building class a couple of months ago.
Metal shop got a new press finger brake from Swag offroad. @TBJK welded it up, and I did the first round of powder coat this morning. Saving the rest for later since we have more to weld on the top piece
Ceramics recently did a Cone 010 firing, here are some of the pieces!
Smooth pieces: Tile 6 terra sigillata over various clay bodies
Sparkle Death pieces: New Mexico white mica clay

Ok, so after finishing the diy Arduino I screwed something up. Decided to just get some damn nanos and finally finished the dang thing!
Excellent work – so glad you took the time to make that for them…
Wrapping up two projects this month. #1: I took my ancestry DNA test and purchased masks from the regions it indicated I’m from, sliced them up, cast parts in glass and reassembled the masks. I promise no antiques were harmed in this project! The glass was cast offsite. Can’t wait to get more glass kilns!
Another Beraht Stream Table has made it to the finish line after a few trips through the Space. The Cherry Lake Diner began as an estate sale find with a great pine pedestal base and a warped wood top. Milled the top flat on the Multicam, then added distressed cherry in a way to create a “lake”, flattened everything down again on the Multicam, then finished the base and apron in an espresso color while keeping the cherry natural. Added some Caribbean Blue fire glass and a 1/2" thick glass top and it’s all ready to find a new owner!
Finished table is 54" diameter, 31.5" tall, pedestal base is 22" square
Gorgeous!
And some other words of admiration to surpass 20 characters
The butcher block lives. Unfortunately now that its together I don’t think the legs work with the top. This was my first time turning legs. The top is 7" thick end grain walnut. Started with 56 bd ft of 8/4 rough walnut and this is the finish. Huge thanks to @jeffbob for the mesquite I turned for the legs and huge thanks to @mblatz for the lessons on turning. I love the legs and I love the top, i just don’t love them together.
They are really cool legs. Kudos for some masterful wood turning.
And this NOT a criticism, but when the casters are to the side, I’m reminded of the leg lamp in A Christmas Story.
Looks good but I think you have it right about the legs.Leave them on for a while and see if you get used to them.If not, now you can turn some walnut ones and then I can get you a nice slabof mesquite to put under them.
Do ya think the butcher block is thick enough? LOL.You did well and learned in the process.

The bartender sure is eyeing it with a silent nod of approval.
Just as a curiosity, roughly how much do you reckon this weighs?
