now that i'm on vacation, i have a bit more time for this stuff. while looking for the tightening knob for the pen mandrel, i found that i had a bit of the ambrosia maple i bought a while ago. now i have 10 blanks, and turned them all to round today. now, if i can find a couple more blanks, i'd have a dozen...

another busy day in the shop (all of 8 1/2 hours!). got six more done, and found that the slab of peroba that i had gotten as a gift works out just fine for the last three, to round out the dozen.
so far, 9 finished, 1 broken, 3 to go...

got the last three turned to round, and then to shape. drilled all 12 through, and drilled the pilot holes for the screws. now all that is left, is to screw the mills to the bases. once again, the behemoth has earned it's keep.
