I think tonight will be a short post on my part, but I’m hoping that you will make it longer by adding your responses to the following question: What project are you working on right now?
So, back in later November/early December I watched a video series on making your own long bow. Yes, like Robin Hood. I started it, made a mistake or two (luckily, they fell in my favor), but I’m sad to say I haven’t touched it in several weeks.
A combination of crappy & inhospitable weather – my garage is a 3/4-car storage room, so I do everything under the car port – and my deeply ingrained procrastination have frozen that project in place. And I really had in mind at the start that I would be able to finish it by New Year’s. I’ll get back to it sooner or later.
As of a couple of weeks ago, I’ve been watching videos of wooden bowls created by power carving. It’s pretty damn cool. And so, I’ve gotten a few pieces of equipment for the task, and tried my hands and tools on a few scrap pieces. Soooo much fun! My only issue right now is that all my big logs are at the bottom of my wood piles, and therefore inaccessible. I’ll need to source out some larger logs, or we need to get the fire pit in the backyard going.
And a third “project” that I guess I’ve been working on, albeit extremely slowly (read: years) and with arguably negligible results, is that I’ve been trying to increase my web page building skills by relearning some old coding skills and attempting to acquire new ones. Definitely not easy for me anymore.
That leads me to my original question for you. Please drop in your comments – it’s very interesting to hear what it is that people do outside of the normal level of interactivity with others.
P.S. – I can’t believe that I forgot to mention this blog! Just goes to show you how easy it is to forget that you’re wet while treading water.
