Why does Rick have two dustpans and brushes ?

I have two, but they don't hang next to each other. They are at either end of the workshop and I bought the second after i noticed how often i was walking about looking for a hand brush,

Why does Rick have two dustpans and brushes ?

Two hands! You'd be amazed how often 'one from each side' to pick up a huge mass of shavings makes a big job easier. Using a dustpan and a hand works too, but your hand is smaller and, you risk injury from sharps.
Only downside is, buried implements or fittings risk "getting thrown out with the b̶a̶t̶h̶w̶a̶t̶e̶r̶ shavings".

Wow that's insane

Because it's a miracle if he can ever find either when he needs them....... So he tells me

Needed to make a super quick gift for someone, saw some tea light holders that had storage for match box, thought it was a nice simple idea. Most of them were made from single bit of wood but thought I'd inject some colour and interest by using padauk(?).

Few mistakes here and there like making it a bit too small and rounding over the top slightly which I only just noticed ha, but for a quick build generally happy with how it turned out.

Tom. Hi!
I certainly don't want to be a kill joy and I do like your idea in general BUT those tealights can get extremely hot sufficiently so to ignite wood. I believe that it has caused house fires in the past. I'm sure someone here will have direct experience probably as a fireman. Sorry but better warned.

All good, I appreciate the heads up and will do some research.

Real neat, simple and useful.

Finished my latest project the scoops.4 in total, developing them as I went along. Still loads of room for improvement I think.
No 1 (the disaster)

no 2

no 3

no 4

altogether

and in their pot holders

sadly for me this is going to be a little while till I get back to turning again as I've got other projects which are going to take me away.

The carvings aren't bad either

Hi, guys.
My daughter asked me for a high feeder for Draco, her big dog. I found some data to estimate the highness of a 27-inch tall dog.
It was difficult for Apollo, the smaller dog to take its measurements. I made a second feeder hoping that Apollo would be higher or taller than Draco.
Some pictures are attached

May I ask what's the story behind the dark rings? First look tells me walnut, second look tells me I'm wrong, now I'm thinking it's the same wood, but chared? I'd love to know more. End result looks really good.

Amazingly your almost 90 percent right, yes it's all the same wood but burnt four decorative rings and walnut stained in between purely for decoration based of a Roman bowl design I did a while back

Awesome, thanks for the note. Once I get a bigger garage, i should get some turning projects going. Looks great fun!

This tea light holder I made a few years ago, has burnt over 40 tea lights in the tin holders, that I know of, and hasn't shown any signs of burning. It's cut out of Beech with a Danish Oil finish.
