Well, I finally got the big birdhouse done, only 2 1/2 weeks *after* the recipient's birthday! Blew up three blanks along the way. Don't ask...
30" tall. Got young James to carry it in... big ceremony complete with Tibetan bell. He could barely carry it. Doorlink found a nice quasi-medieval tablecloth to wrap it in, and everyone played along. A good time was had by all!

It got easier as I went, since I was perched on a mountain of shavings. Hmmmm... maybe I should lower my lathe stand...
Thanks,
Bill
