i don’t want to be ninety when i stroke out carving my last horsie thingie
if i build a chess set, i’m going to want to play with it in a week
i need a stylized design for a knight nick nack off a lathe
kinda like the slash across the bishop’s head in a staunton
perhaps something under the chin snick snack
no more “i thought that was a pawn”

Whatever. It’s your legacy.

eat shit and die

that’s a damn lie
or maybe a statistic
the feet on the tub are actually talons
if i had looked closely, i would have noticed
the table is all 45 and triangle
i think the end off the foot on the bottom leg could look like a talon
four chisel marks
kinda like a private joke
i’d be privy to
in the privy
i could go on but i hope you got it

Yes , it was a griffin.

I suck at using a jigsaw. Or my jigsaw sucks. Was trying to get good at it because didn’t want to lose fingers on the scroll saw.

a jigsaw takes infinite patience

I used to use jigsaw like crazy when I was young. I loved cutting with it.

I just talked to my cigar friend. He quit smoking. I’m so glad I didn’t waste time making him a humidor. Maybe I can make him something healthier. A wooden trash can to throw his cigars into.

He probably could have used the humidor as a pencil box.

I’m glad you didn’t build that. Nasty habit.

a 7 1/4 inch single bevel miter saw with a 60 tooth blade you can buy when the 40 tooth blade tries to kill you when the clamp fails and the shards fly is a decent compromise twixt the chain saw and the hand tool
i would not attempt a humidor
