Stopped by the salvage yard just to look around. Didn't plan on finding a project, but this #rusty #fork caught my attention. Easy #restoration, right? Yes, but it still took several hours.

Managed to get a couple of ribbons at last weekend's carving show. The little spoon on the right also won 1st place at another show during the summer. Now it will be a gift to someone special. Yes. I know one of the ribbons says 2009. I have no idea why, but whatever.

Nothing more fun than rummaging through a salvage yard and using your imagination. Found this junk in a bin. A little clean up and it's now a heavy-duty awl.

More experiments with laser-etching. This time, it's my drawing etching the reflective backing of a mirror.

A friend and I were playing around with a laser. We took one of my hand drawn pictures and laser etched it onto anodized aluminum. The final image is the size of a business card.

Got a chance to take a tour of Seattle's Georgetown Steam Plant last night and stuck around to watch the movie Parasite. What a fantastic venue to take in a film! I'll definitely be back!
