Catch Of The Day

Found some Nitro Clickers at Goodwill for 7 dollars in great condition

flour baking soda salt parsley butter

Italian parsley just cut from the garden

Making parsley dumplings just like my mom from the midwest that i never had used to make them.

So i was sitting around this morning with a cat toy and a cheap pair of bushnell binoculars, with day 2 of the little guy hanging on my leg and screaming every time I leave for just a second i decided to see what i could do within a few feet of my computer. I took apart the binoculars and decided to perform creative photography.

These cats decide to start checking out my ride, it was really kind of cute.

Glassed it just like a surfboard. 

Fiberglass cloth and epoxy resin with pigments for that acid swirl effect...

Laminated another layer of maple (?) to firm up the flex and sanded a lot. ~J

Wheel "cut-outs" with a belt-sander. ~J

This is the warp, haunting me.

My kind of off-road vehicle. ~J

Big Country

I took this in the winter of 2005 on the North Shore of Oahu. Then I messed around with it in gimp. This was one of the smaller waves -- about 20 feet on the face.  It is impossible to communicate the size and power of a wave in a photograph… ~J

Welcome to our blog of the hand and mind.  We started this blog to projects we’re messing around with, things we like, things that grab our attention,  ideas we have, and generally just to make something.  Take a load off, grab a cold one -- or whatever makes you mellow -- and enjoy…
