Todays Project - What did you do today?

[TOM REED]

I like hardwood especially the type :I get for free, I get from one of my local truck dealers the odd bunking timber that they use when shipping new trucks, they are about 6x8 inches and 4 feet long, some are oak, ash, hickory or some other mystery wood that I don't know but 2 of them across thew frame support the weight of the front of a big truck across the country and they are free. I have used them for many things including a stock I made for a benchrest rifle (some of them even have a very nice grain). They make nice blocks for across the ways when removing a chuck. A little work with a carbide blade and they can be made into many useful items. I have thought of making a similar cutter to make blocks for my ER40 collets. Now another project on the to do list,
I don't think I will live long enpugh to get everything done. tom

BY THE WAY VERY NICE BLOCK.
