Squid Ink and Tentacles
Started roughing out the tentacles on the squid and have the first phase of the walnut “ink”. The walnut is from the tree we took down to build the garage shop.
Turning Ink
So, yeah. This walnut wad is a little bigger than my lathe likes, but shooting chips that hit ceiling is always fun.
This will be the bottom half of an urn for one of my closest friends. The top half is a squid. This part is intended to become the “ink” that projects the little guy to the heavens.
Squid En Route
This piece of Holly is sooooo precious. Fits the subject. Now just to walk the fine line of not exploding it on the lathe.
Do Not Order Online From Teknatool
These Kiwis may make great chucks, but the ecomm part and the user management side of their site is FUBAR.
Placed an order for grinding jig. Got to an order conf page and printed it out. No email conf. So far, no charge to card but info is now floating out there.
Call to US rep leads to realization that they have stranded him with no product until Feb and no way to help me out with the site/order issue other than trying to use their broken ticketing system. Been waiting weeks for some kind of response.
Order from Amazon or only buy product in hand.
