All burnt and ready for a little colour. But before that I'll do some different ones while I'm in the mood, so I can stain and varnish them all together. Saves some time 👍

Been unproductive and going in circles for a while but tiny step by tiny step I'm getting back to it. One thing that was annoying me was getting an image program I was happy with. Tried all the free ones and in the end I bought Adobe Elements 2026 👍

This has been ready to post for a while but as is my usual timing (don't have a deadline, don't have a rush then) it could be some time or no time till it's posted.

Well, the final coat of varnish after the last final coat of varnish is not the final coat of varnish after all. Taking pictures and I noticed a small blemish in a very visible spot, so guess what I'll be doing for the final time (again 😂)
If you were wondering, that will make 5 coats of varnish.

Well Adobe CS2 isn't supported anymore which is unfortunate because now I have to look for a replacement. I didn't use it for anything intricate but I was used to it. Anyone got suggestions for a replacement?

👋 been unproductive for a while and then all of a sudden I'm at the staining stage of another skate deck.
No spoilers of what it is.
It feels like it's taken me longer to sort the imagery than burn it but they're kinda even because it had to be right, for the person it's going to .

Picking games to play on game pass is like renting a video in the 80's. You base it on the cover art and an overblown sales pitch.

Quite pleased that when I was sorting pics on my phone into albums, I got an alert saying, I have an event coming up and I was also saving a book/magazine. Also that I was saving a picture that people could identify me from. These are the pictures 😂

Work came to a halt because the cheapest fitting on my otherwise well built lamp broke. Tricky and costly to fix so I just spent my time shopping for a new lamp 👍
