He's got a point. I'm a bit tired of being asked to apologize for wanting to exist in peace and safety.

Interesting - Bluesky doesn't seem to want me to post this image, specifically.

The second box I've completed recently, this one in a Japanese style. The main box is red oak, ebonized via steel wool soaked in 30% vinegar (a traditional method). The pegs/studs are poplar, the wedges are unstained red oak, the end pieces and hand holds are maple, and thin walnut strips on edges.

Doesn't look like much, but building an entire joist structure on top of the existing joists in the attic so that we can get a full 12"of insulation isn't a small thing for someone of my age and shape (which is to say: round).

A few pictures of a project I finished with the close of the year. It was both a proof of concept and a gift for my elder son, and based on a video liked. The main wood is wenge, and the cover and splines are tiger maple, with one stripe of curly cherry. About 2.5" by 4" and about 2.75" tall.

Apparently, people do this sort of thing here, so here we go:

Work in progress:
Small box, wenge and curly maple.
I may also add some curly cherry.
A second box of similar materials and size, but slightly different design, is also in progress.

That would be this one (What GIF pops up when you search your name).

If you see this, quote skeet with a famous landmark you've seen.

La Sagrada Familia
Barcelona, Spain.

That's because it's still too much A and not enough I.

I was thinking just this while reading how some news outlets proclaimed Trump the winner last night. Apparently, the *performance* was more important than the actual issues or truthfulness. Postmodernism: the triumph of surface over substance. Well, who knows? Maybe there was a substance involved...

Well, when you put it that way...
