Okay. And maybe this LED sign.

After the fiasco of 17 moving boxes filled with merch from when I worked at Blizzard, I’ve been trying chill the F out. That said, I’m very fond of Clive that I paid full price for.

Bluesky CEO Jay Graber is the Sun Summoner. Mush and Zuck are both Darklings. May they be similarly defeated.

Had a beach day at work. So relaxing. This was the photo I was taking when my coworker took the photo of me.

Scenes from today in the workshop. Finally back to glue-up phase. Got a branding iron holder for the drill press. Such a great idea.

What a time capsule. It probably also has an alarm that goes off at 2:30am.

Is it weird that I sung that to β€œCopacabana”?

Workbenchcon will be the first woodworking convention I’m attending in almost 20 years. I barely knew what I was doing back then. A little more skilled and confident now. Looking forward to learning and meeting the folks that inspire me.

Tried them for the first time a few weeks ago. Excellent tacos!

I recently acquired an old Craftsman No 78 Rebate Plane. Blade was in bad shapeβ€”wasn’t square, chipped on one end and severely tapered on the other. Ended up grinding away 1/16 in. of material w a belt sander/disc. Then I noticed the backside wasn’t even flat. After 6 hours of this, finally usable.

Progress comes in slow, imperceptible increments. I often wonder if I’m getting any better at woodworking. And then I come back to building something I’ve made many times in the past. And I can tell that this is the best cutting board I’ve made.

I had to embiggen my shooting board to accommodate 18 inch long stock because, for the life of me, I’m still not at a skill level where I can plane freehand and maintain a 90Β° edge.

A little more sanding and applying of finish, and my album stands are done.

Latest satisfying thing to do when I get a call from an unidentified number:
Pick up but stay silent. If the other end is also, then it’s voice-activated automation.
Hang up. Block the number.
They’ll keep coming, but at least not anymore from these numbers.

I avoided getting another flat traversing these tracks, only to get rained on my way home.

Haha. I’ve joked that I pronounce Bluesky as in β€œbrewski”. And that’s how Siri just said it.

Didn’t feel like it, but I made some progress today. I made another version of the box joint jig to allow for ΒΌ inch joints, which allowed me to put together the sides of a box I’m making with possibly the cleanest finger joints I’ve done yet.

A long process. Spent a day making Chestnut Shibukawani (stewed with inner skin). Made Meringues. Made chestnut paste. And came together tonight as a Mont Blanc.

After not being very impressed by the offerings earlier this year (last year?), I revisited the TooGooToGo app. Now places like Eataly and Honey’s Kettle are participating. I picked up this bag of Sidecar Donuts for $7!
