I posted about our Luggage tags before we traveled and many people mentioned they would be interested in them. We are selling in sets of 4.

One more day of beautiful sunrises, then back to the cold Ontario winter. The wind blowing and the sound of the waves are magnificent. Just wish there wasnt sand.

I haven't been posting, sorry, but the weather has been terrible where I am. I have no choice but to sit beside a pool and read... It's terrible.

Good morning, hope you all had great sleeps. I had a few minutes this morning so I engraved a few luggage tags for some new luggage we bought. The red goes well with the blue, and I think the Canadian Maple Leaf looks beautiful on that red background.

What are you up to today, have a great day!

Tonight's dinner was Butter Chicken, damn good. Love this meal.

Supper tonight was really good. Two spatchcocked chickens, and corn, peas, and rice. Everyone is in a rush so simple meal. Love it.

Afternoon, I finally turned my first salt cellar. I need more practice and a few more attempts till I find exactly what I am looking for. Also needs a lid. This is Sugar Maple, I might use a softer hard wood to make this.

Yesterday while I was in the garage being angry with myself and pouting, I made a shot glass for myself. It's made of sugar maple, I just need some UV resin to line the inside so Alcohol can be poured into it.

So my inability to do anything this morning led to me making this, a new handle for my wood vise. The old one was used to make a paper press for my daughter when she took up paper making. Made from one piece, but cut and hallowed out one part to fit through handle.

Turning some wood today and this showed up, an inclusion inside this sugar maple. I am just really happy it didn't explode on me during the turn. I can fix this, it will be beautiful when it is complete.

Tonights dinner was a Mexican inspired ground pork. My wife and son made burrito bowls, I am currently no eating carb filled meals, so I had a salad.. it was delicious.

Supper tonight was stunning. Fresh homemade Italian sausage, with a wonderful sauce using feta and cherry tomatoes. Just, ... So good. Also maybe a little bit of Parma.

Stopping snowing please, anytime now.

Making a rolling pin for an American customer. Sugar Maple, kiln dried. It's gorgeous smelling and incredibly hard. With even the slightest care this will last a lifetime. Just need to put a light finishing coat of beeswax and mineral oil for stain protection.

Breakfast is served, sorry you are missing it. Cheesy Scrambled Eggs, with Fire Roasted Anaheim Peppers along with a couple slices of Maple Cured Bacon. So good, all tariff free!

Do you play crib? How would you take this loss. My wife had first count, she was in the line, then my count and I didn't make it, and when I counted my crib I had 3 points...

Breakfast is cheeeeesy scrambled eggs with fire roasted Anaheim peppers. It really is a fantastic breakfast.

I am always amazed at how different the engagement is here than on threads. Two exactly the same posts.

Its so hard to get engagement here.

Hey friends! I just made a Puzzle Lid Display Holder, and I’m pretty proud of how it turned out. It props up your puzzle box lid or game box cover so you can see it while you’re working on a puzzle or hosting game night.

Laser marking (anodizing) stainless steel 25mm plugs for a local woodworker. He is going to use these instead of a brand. They look incredible.

We had the Tamales for supper, and let me say I am stuffed... To the gills, they were amazing.
January 26, 2025 at 12:17 AM
Alright, Tamales are done. I am actually pretty happy with the end product. They will only get better from here. Had a lot of fun with the group from threads doing this.
January 25, 2025 at 9:15 PM
There are a few of us making Tamales today. Figured I should start, red sauce peppers getting set up to be toasted in the oven. Easier to do it this way than on a cast iron pan. Just too many of them.
