The shop is absolutely trashed in the aftermath of @thewoodworkingshows ending two weeks early. Still don’t have everything back yet, that will happen tomorrow. I am sorting inventory, loading the website and digging my way to my own machines so I can start creating again as well. Been a little down the last couple days as sales have tanked with everyone running scared. You know what? Screw you, COVID-19. You won’t take me or my business down. I’ll be here when my customers are ready to start shopping for nonessentials once again. #survivalmodeactivated #wehaveTP #inventory #showseason #thewalnutlogstudio #wood #woodworker #woodworking #woodturner #woodturning #lathe #cleanmyshop #selfquarantine #lifeandbusinessgoeson #buymystuff #motivated #stl #stlouis (at The Walnut Log Studio And Supply) https://www.instagram.com/p/B97PKYvgY9z/?igshid=1n8xqqj15ud0s

Ahh, the glamorous side of running your own business...buying boxes, tape and packing peanuts. I prefer the pink antistatic version myself.

While at the Hartville Hardware Tool Expo last weekend I had the fortune of spending a little time talking to bandsaw guru @alex.snodgrass. He has probably forgotten more about bandsaws than the rest of us will ever know. Hell of a nice guy too. If you don’t already follow him you need to. #bandsaw #bandsawlife #snodgrassmethod #thewalnutlogstudio #hartvillehardware #wood #woodturner #woodturning #lathe #friends #stl #stlouis https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqds78dgO5o/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mvdj6swqrgij

Tea time! One of the things we brought back from our trip to the UK was a love of tea and a strong desire for a daily cuppa. This not only gives me a treat to look forward to but it forces me to take a break. That’s the key, coming in from the shop, relaxing for a few minutes and having a little snack. Cookies and mini donuts are not usually the treat but made for a good pic. Don’t over do things, especially in the heat of summer. #tea #teatime #uk #usa #woodturner #woodturning #art #artist #break #breaktime #hydrate #cookies #relax #stl #stlouis #thewalnutlogstudio #pen #penmaker #penmaking (at The Walnut Log Studio And Supply)
