Fixed some issues with the lids with a few little adjustments of the nuts & bolts holding on the hinges, there's still a warp in the top door that's vexing me. It doesn't lay flat on the left when closed...hrrrm

I read a heat gun and water might be the solution. Getting dialed in otherwise :)

Okay, still want to paint, not totally happy with the lid, but I'm a little bit fried on this so done for a bit. I'll live with it and figure out what works and then make any final tweaks. Got to get to using it, and doing more drawing!

Some time-lapse of placing the hinges to mark the attachment points!

Some more progress on my secretarial hall desk.

Hinges arrived so was able to get back to this. Tomorrow I'll cut the top door panels and get that assembled, then I can use wood filler on some goofs, prime the whole thing and paint it. The last thing to add will be the magnetic black whiteboard I ordered for inside.

Bit more work on the desk. Have some cool hinges coming in a few days, but think I can cut the panels for the lid. Think, I'm going to make it segmented in two parts, and set some small magnets into that so it has a partial open mode to grab things off the shelf.

The other thing I've been working on this past week is an external brain extension for the hallway.

A wall-mounted low profile secretarial desk to keep track of shit and help manage my ADHD, diabetes, and all the things better.

#Maker #carpentry #art #craft #selfcare #woodworking #desk #AuDHD
A shot of the secretarial desk raw bones. Built out of a mix of hardwood, finishing quarter inch pine for the backboard, and a couple of pieces of pine for a little shelf and reinforcement/mounting bar underneath the desk top. Some parts on order for hardware, It'll have a Ferris black back board for notes and things, and think I'm painting it. Wood is always lovely, but I have something in mind for the look and finish a bit more lived in. Shot of my sketchbook where I designed the wall mountain desk. Originally thought of it as being a little bit bigger but had to adapt when I cut some pieces slightly off so it's not going to be as wide or tall but proportionately very close to what is seen here minus the bottom pegboard.

Made a stand this morning from some nice chunky bits I have in the shop. Been thinking about doing much more sculptural work but didn't have a medium that would suit my needs sorted out before this. Kind of hyped now. - salgoodsam.com/a-good-week-...

Carving to do but almost there - in the course of making it stable to stand, I made a comfortable handle/grip for holding while I draw!
All the awkward angles are just there now. Don't have to think about that again 😉
The best week in the studio in a while.

Finding the personality - I kind of love the wire frames on their own, and the current level of machined rough not quite refined form on the white surfaces. Giving me ideas, going to order a big pile of sculpey.

Fired the ears and beard on this morning ... constructive procrastination turned into over due cleaning (the shop corner) and some learning dopamine.

I initially The Box #Art was a kind of automatic drawing, letting myself make everything up as I go. Fun but #comics, so eventually you need to start repeating #characters. My whimsical #fay goat soldier lead was proving challenging to repeat. Decided I need to #sculpt a #bust to work from for it.
After baking I've added the ears and goatee, shaping up nicely but taking a break for the night... Rotation of sculpey covered muzzle and skull and neck for the bust, before being baked Copper wire frame wrapped in tin foil Copper wire frame for character bust

Generally, anti all authoritarian police states.
That includes the fascists too.
Small cat loafing in a cat shaped hole, in a pink tiled wall. With text over and under it, that reads FUCK YOUR WALLS! FUCK YOUR BORDERS! KITTY WON'T FOLLOW YOUR FUCKIN' ORDERS!

He didn't engage in good-faith debate, he used the pretense of debates to stage rhetoric designed to get his hateful far right rhetoric out to a wider audience, then selectively edited clips from to make himself seem reasonable. He was not and he supported what was done to him in fact!
Tombili, a famous street cat from Istanbul Turkey seated behind the 'charge my mind' meme table with the text 'he was not 'open for debate'. He used the pretense to platform his hate propaganda to a wider audience! A list of some of CK's most odious and hateful recorded positions, to underline the point that he was a far right propagandist who was never open to debate and in fact prompted and advocated for political violence. -Gay people should be stoned to death -Most people are scared when they see a black pilot flying a plane -Taylor Swift should reject feminism and submit to her husband -No one should be allowed to retire -Leftists should not be allowed to move to red states -British Colonialism was what "made the world decent" -The guy who assaulted the Pelosi's should be bailed out -Religious freedom should be terminated -Multiple black politicians "stole white people's spots" -MLK Jr was "an awful person" -The Great Replacement Theory is reality -Hydroxychloroquine cures COVID -Vaccine requirements are "medical apartheid" -Guns deaths are acceptable in order to have a 2nd amendment -Women's natural place is under their husband's control -Parents should prevent their daughters from taking birth control -George Floyd had it coming, the Jan 6th protestors didn't -The 1964 Civil Rights Act was a "huge mistake" -Encouraged parents to protest mask mandates -Mamdani winning in NY is a travesty because Muslims did 9/11 -Muslims only come to America to destabilize Western Civilization -Palestine "doesn't exist" and those who support it are like the KKK

Shaiel Ben-Ephraim is I think, a deconstructed Zionist, and a strong critic of the regime in Israel-Palestine that I tend to mostly agree with.

But, on the up side #Canada should thank the US for all the great #scientists who will be looking for somewhere sane to go to do their thing.

For the moment we're one of a number of attractive options.

Thanks Eh!

Screen cap of a Linked In post by Cadey Dreier. Chief of Space Policy at The Planetary Society. He's criticizing the latest executive order regarding federal grants: This is a shocking executive order that undermines the very idea of open inquiry. It turns federal grants into dispensations, subject to arbitrary and capricious withdrawal should the recipient say or believe the wrong things. The EO calls for: - Political review of every new grant by White House-appointed officials - New metric for merit is whether the grant will "advance the President’s policy priorities". Not the nation's priorities, the President's. - Denial or cancellation of grants for expressions of "anti-American values", the definition of which is left intentionally vague, or if the recipient "denies" the "binary" nature of sex. - Retroactively revises the terms and conditions of existing grants to permit immediate termination for convenience if the award **no longer** aligns with agency priorities. - Freezes *all new grant opportunities* until these systems are put in place within every grant-making agency.

For a high school dropout, I sure went to a lot of schools...lol.

Is that nostalgia, or trauma?

Here's my #studies from last nights session at @synstudio.bsky.social, the 2min poses were mostly #ballpoint, then I shifted to col-erase #pencils, a new toy my Pentel Multi 8, and a Palomino #Blackwing. #Paper is a Daler-Rowney ivory soft cover #sketchbook with perforated pages.
