Well I guess that was supposed to be "friend" not fried. I built some bookcases this fall but it turned cold before I could get the stain and Polyurethane on them.

Nice! I bought a wood lathe a couple months ago and a metal lathe last week. They were cheap and need some work so more projects. They are both small, I just don't have room for much here. My saws and grinder...even the forge is on wheels so I can roll them out and use them, then roll them back in. Wife gets mad cause I get sawdust all over the car, but it blows off. :roll: 8-)

looks good mite, what finish did you use on the dip tray? It looks like it was coated in a thick wax almost.
