What colleges have you attended? Listing off the schools that I’ve attended probably won’t be all that interesting to read. Well, I guess, it might be more interesting than what you’re about to read if what I write next is not of interest to you. The most interesting schooling experience that I’ve had was when…

I’ve been humming and hawing over buying a lightbox for several months. It’s not the cost so much as the idea that it’s a bit unnecessary. I thought I could build my own or just use a large sheet of white poster paper. I tried both. Both worked. The lightbox just feels more convenient. I…

European round top pen and video views
I made this pen about a week ago. I like it but it’s not a style of pen that I would use, I don’t think. In other news, I’m not sure what’s going on with the YouTube algorithm but my view count is way up. I keep checking it, thinking it’s not right. I’m excited…

New lightbox and a walnut pen
I was only able to make one pen today. My lever for the tailstock of my lathe broke just over a week ago. It’s an easy problem to work around but it’s a nuisance. It took me at least a couple of hours, I think, to fix my self-centring vise today — the knob to…

$600 4×6 Photo
One 4×6 photo cost me $600. It’s a picture that I took. I probably won’t even put it in a frame. I even printed the picture myself.

I watched one YouTube video and now I want to start a zine
When I picture what I want my YouTube channel to look like, Sean Tucker’s channel is pretty close. I like the way he sits on his couch and speaks to the camera about an idea that he has. Along the way, he’ll share some pictures and explain a few things. After watching one of his…

The story behind five of the day’s pictures – January 9, 2021
The sun was shining when I woke up today. As I stared at the reflections of light in the mirror, I told myself that I had to get up and get outside today. That was the motivation I needed to get out of bed on what I was hoping would be a rather lazy Saturday.
