ResMed AirFit P10 Pillow Mask

Today, I got a new mask for my cpap machine. It is a pillow mask. It is very minimalist. The AirFit 10 by ResMed.


New Box

I made this box for the new wood-burning tool I got for branding my shaving brushes. I had a nice piece of solid 3/4 wood that I split to make the box.


The tool came with four tips. I made a place to hold the tips, too.

Parker 51

I got this Parker 51 back in the early 60s when I was in Junior High. I had the nib replaced once, but it has been damaged since, and it has not been used probably in over 40 years. I decided to research some on pen restoration. As a result, I have disassembled the pen and ordered a new nib for it. The following pictures were taken on July 8, 2016.





Update: July 26, 2016

The new nib arrived yesterday, but I was not home to sign for it. I went in to the post office and got the package this morning. Now, I have put the nib in its new home. I have to find me some ink now.








Box for Lathe Turning Tools

I bought an inexpensive set of turning tools at Harbor Freight. I decided I needed a dedicated place to keep them, so I made a box from woods I had on hand. The corners are mitered. The top and bottom are 1/4 inch plywood that is secured in a rabbeted slot. Henges are recessed. The top is secured with a latch. I also made cradles for each of the tools.

I have used stain/polyurethane that is on hand. I finished the box with pecan stain. Here it is hanging to dry.



I added foam to take up the space and prevent rattling when the box is shut.
