When you make a big change and can’t screw around with it anymore and it costs you an arm and a leg. Literally that arm that I drew 2 years ago held me up making big changes because I was so proud of it. I got too precious with it and psyched myself out. Man, where is Isabel when you need her to tell you it sucks and you need to make a big change despite the work you put in. Motto for the rest of this year is: It might not be better, but it’ll be different. But it’ll probably be better if take the leap.

I made a mini-anvil out of oak too. About 3 full days of work. @frankcastlebjj wanted one, and I can make you one too.

Clamping up that oak for my oaken anvil. And I do not have enough clamps.

New entry on the blog! What I had intended to be a series of thoughtful essays is quickly becoming more manic, irreverent musings. And that fits I guess. I write it you read it, if it sucks you tell me. That’s how these things improve.

Today I made this big ass workbench from the old workbench and a small cart I had made. Studio feels bigger already, but man organizing is a motherfucker.
