Sewing
Haven't sewn a garment from fabric and a pattern before, but there's a point when flat-felled seams have to go somewhere other than fragment's you're practicing on. You can only repair so many things until all of everybody's clothes are mended and you have to start out into clearing off the whole damned kitchen table.
I'm going to make a torch table, pretty much the same way I made my steel workbench-- excpet the torch table's going to have sarificial slats in it. I had an idea today of how (even) I could accomplish this. I haven't asked anybody. Maybe I will, before I get around to it.
My new angled-pein hammer is working the way a hammer should. The angled pein does what it's supposed to do, and the head's not even coming loose from the handle-- not yet, anyway. I'm working on another double-edged carbon-steel knife. It's not an athame, because, after all, How Could an Atheist Make an Athame? Wait a minute, write that down, I bet that could be a story idea. Or at least a seminar topic. Heidegger: Horseshit or What?
And then I need a new hammer, a heavier hammer, to have a go at something damascus.
Next payday: lumber for raised beds.
