The school auction for the “Neighborhood Art Project” happened. It ended up being in the silent auction instead of the live auction. I don’t know what it went for exactly but I know it was more than $500 which is good for the silent auction.

The table is put together, I just need to do a little sanding and finish. It seems to not be as tippy as I was worried it might be.

I have been working on a dining table. This is the design, and it is on course to look like this. It has been taking a while as every detail seem to present new complications.

To initiate the new lathe set up I turned a sphere from a chunk of walnut. I was going to make it into a Death Star, by cutting a trench and turning a dish into it. But then we came up with making it into an 8 ball. The project is done I am putting the video together.
