start a woodworking collective in Seattle

Really, who needs to own everything (and who has room for it all)? A space with a table saw, bandsaw, router table, and some bench space, plus room for people to keep their hand tools, is all that’s needed. A planer? Sure. A CNC Shopbot? Why not?

scan old slides and negatives to see if I've learned anything.

have I learned anything? 3 years ago

Mostly, that my eye was not as sharp as it could have been. The old adage “if you’re pictures aren’t any good, you’re not close enough” applies to a lot of my old stuff.

I’m happier with the BandW work I did, so far.

bake bread

easier than you think 3 years ago

Flour, water, sugar, salt, yeast: who knew you could combine these things in so many ways?

Need help?
