Had a beach day at work. So relaxing. This was the photo I was taking when my coworker took the photo of me.

Scenes from today in the workshop. Finally back to glue-up phase. Got a branding iron holder for the drill press. Such a great idea.

Workbenchcon will be the first woodworking convention I’m attending in almost 20 years. I barely knew what I was doing back then. A little more skilled and confident now. Looking forward to learning and meeting the folks that inspire me.

I recently acquired an old Craftsman No 78 Rebate Plane. Blade was in bad shape—wasn’t square, chipped on one end and severely tapered on the other. Ended up grinding away 1/16 in. of material w a belt sander/disc. Then I noticed the backside wasn’t even flat. After 6 hours of this, finally usable.

Progress comes in slow, imperceptible increments. I often wonder if I’m getting any better at woodworking. And then I come back to building something I’ve made many times in the past. And I can tell that this is the best cutting board I’ve made.

I had to embiggen my shooting board to accommodate 18 inch long stock because, for the life of me, I’m still not at a skill level where I can plane freehand and maintain a 90° edge.

A little more sanding and applying of finish, and my album stands are done.

Latest satisfying thing to do when I get a call from an unidentified number: Pick up but stay silent. If the other end is also, then it’s voice-activated automation. Hang up. Block the number. They’ll keep coming, but at least not anymore from these numbers.

@malik.newmeta.gg I’m finally making my way back to Atlanta in Feb and you’re not there anymore. 😢

I avoided getting another flat traversing these tracks, only to get rained on my way home.

Haha. I’ve joked that I pronounce Bluesky as in “brewski”. And that’s how Siri just said it.

Popped into my head today and I had to call it up. Needed this. For Japanese GenX, this is the lullaby. 日本昔ばなし

Didn’t feel like it, but I made some progress today. I made another version of the box joint jig to allow for ¼ inch joints, which allowed me to put together the sides of a box I’m making with possibly the cleanest finger joints I’ve done yet.

A long process. Spent a day making Chestnut Shibukawani (stewed with inner skin). Made Meringues. Made chestnut paste. And came together tonight as a Mont Blanc.

After not being very impressed by the offerings earlier this year (last year?), I revisited the TooGooToGo app. Now places like Eataly and Honey’s Kettle are participating. I picked up this bag of Sidecar Donuts for $7!

Think it’s time to bring out that British head of lettuce for some of these goons.

As I’m not ever going back the dead bird, where my gaming and woodworking peeps at?

A whiteboard from our Jan 2023 team retreat where I wrote down our goals, and the top one was “10k user signups.” We’re growing by 10k users every 10-15 minutes right now.

When I did the Ride the Coast Century a couple weeks ago, I was wearing this Bungie/Destiny jersey. A @dadsofdestiny.bsky.social gent gave me compliments. I told him they were the OG! Should’ve at least asked for a gamer tag. 😅

I’m doing what I did in the early days of Threads all over again. Hitting likes and engaging wherever I can to encourage people to keep posting and stay.
