I've been so busy with our investment properties I've hardly turned a thing lately. Plus, the shop is really just now getting to where I can work in it. I just this weekend completed the lathe enclosure so I can have tools close. My sharpening tools are still in the garage, 20 feet away from my lathe. It will take a good part of the winter to make this how I want it, but at least can work on some pieces for the art show coming up.
If you live in the Denver Metro area, be sure to visit us at Art in the Park, being held Aug. 23-24 in O'Brien Park on the corner of Parker Rd. and Main Street. We should have our tent where we've always had it, right on Main Street across from Baskin Robbins (very handy for getting Cappuccino shakes!). This is our most fun event, because so many of our friends and neighbors come by to say hi, and we do very well there to boot. We may even get lucky with the weather this year. This coming weekend is supposed to be in the 60's, which will feel like freezing compared to what we've had! Last year was like a blast furnace at the show, and although we still did pretty good, most thought attendance was way down because of the heat. We're hoping for cooler weather this year!
I've included a pic of my shop from last winter, before drywall or even electric. I need to get a few recent pics and will post those for contrast. It's a lot different now!
