Milaana. Lana. LANA. LANAAAA! (TM2/TP80/BAK/FW9)
Some stuff from the last two days.
Flattening mouthpiece blanks so they're easier to chuck on the lathe.
Some custom tooling for all of the mouthpiece measurements.
Roughing out.
Spot drilling.
Marking out the total length and the length of the tenon at the same time.
Putting a bevel on the tenon to match the angle of the drill point that I will be using for the mortise hole. This will allow the tenon to fully seat into it's mortise so that there is no glue line on the inside diameter of the airway.
The finished mouthpiece blanks.
Boxes all glued up.
The shop at dusk. Usually I keep the doors open all day for a nice breeze. I get a lot of dragonflies flying in to check things out...and inevitably get hypnotized by the overhead lighting. The other day a hummingbird came in for a quick hello!
Truly like a fantasy life out of a novel, to be a dragonfly in that shop looking down...
