Must have done a good job getting MIL's house ready for sale because it was under contract before the week was out. Now I am *finally* able to get caught up on some projects in the queue.
First up were these crochet needles for a Fediverse acquaintance who does amazing things with yarn. She said these are for a machine that she makes hats on. Cool!
Next completed item from the #woodworking / #woodturning queue is a cue.
Well, a pen made to look like a pool cue, anyway. Pen is 8.5 inches long with the cap on.
Although challenging to make, the hardest part turned out to be finding a gift box for it. Ended up using a bracelet gift box.
That pool cue pen is devilishly hard to manage. At 8.5 inches, no pen box or display fits. Normal pen pots tend to tip over. Something had to be done so I figured why not manage it like any other pool cue and make a cue stand for it?
Voila! #HotOffTheLathe today are the two cue sticks used as the uprights for the stand divider. The rack is 3D printed. The base is #shapermade and the divider is laser cut. Used all the toys on this one!
@Rajiv No, I'm not quite up to that yet. The inlay kit and flame maple shaft are from Kallenshaan Woods (linked). The pen kit is from PSI.
