    So everything is in place now. I’ve got the website up (here). Legal papers have been created and customized. Insurance has been purchased. Equipment is at the ready. All I need now are…. customers… I don’t know anything about marketing. I mean, I’ve been a web developer in some fashion for many many years. Along…

    So saga of my Tent rental business continues. Some of the tents that I’ve purchased for rentals are called ‘pole tents’. These tents have a canopy section (the part that’s shields the folks from rain/sun) and, (wait for it…) poles. These poles live at the 4 corners (and the 4 sides) of the tent (if…

    So I decided a few weeks ago to throw my hat into the Entrepreneur Arena and start my own business. I thought I might enjoy a Party/Event rental business. The profits seem ok. The work seems easy to understand and do (setting up/delivering/maintaining equipment, paperwork, business general stuff). So I looked at my financial situation…

    I don’t take time to update this blog. It’s not at the top of my priority list. In fact, it may not even be ON the list at all. So I don’t have a whole lot to say here today. What I can say is that I’ve been intrigued by the idea of starting an…

    So for the last year (yes, it’s been a year now) we’ve been slowly redoing many parts of the house. I’ve replaced ceiling fans. I’ve mounted Televisions. I’ve replaced baseboard/trim in a couple rooms. We’ve repainted. We’ve hung floating shelves. Everything said, the house is coming along nicely, and it almost seems like human adults…

    So I completed my first Asa No Ha Kumiko panel. It’s in the image below. This took me several hours to make because: It’s made of basswood which is pretty soft, and cuts easily with various methods. It all began with an ~8ft board of basswood, approximately 8″ wide by 15/16″ thick. I started by…

    So my attempts at woodworking are coming along nicely. I have completed my first project. I’m calling it a Shoji Lamp. It’s a small wooden lamp that utilizes a battery powered tea light as its source of illumination. It stands around 11.5″ (or ~345mm) tall, is made of ash and maple and shoji paper. It’s…

    So for 2 sessions now (Fall 2022 and Spring 2023) I’ve been playing pool in an APA League. Last session, (Fall) I did pretty well (for not having continuously shot pool in some years). My record was 8 wins/3 losses. This season (Spring ’23) has not been… so good… I started off with 4 losses.…

    Yesterday, the weather was fantastic. It was clear and sunny, the high was around 74º F. This is a nice change from the recent high temps of less than 50º F 🙁 Because the weather was so good, when I got home from work, I promptly put on my ‘work clothes’ and headed out onto…

    So I’ve been hard at work in the shop. We’ve moved to Decatur (last August, 2022). The house we bought has a 1200ft2 out-building. I’ve began renovating it by adding insulation/plywood cladding to the walls. Also, I’ve been buying woodworking tools (table saw, miter saw, sanders, bandsaw etc) to begin making small furniture/etc. projects. I…
