You know who's strong with the force when it comes to Christmas cards? James at @maltandmake, that's who.

James has a vintage Heidelberg printing press that he restored and used to produce these absolutely stunning holiday greeting cards.

Thanks so much, James! I absolutely love the card.

This ancient image just popped up on my Facebook Memories. I'm not sure if I've very shared it on IG.

This is me and my sister Janine in Southern California, just after I graduated from Pepperdine University in 1991. Or, as my sister Sharon says "It's David Cassidy picking up Farrah Fawcett at the rehab clinic."

I still have the same amount of hair. It's just the location(s) that have changed.

As far as I'm concerned, half of getting good at anything is learning how to make fuck-ups look like features.

So, the round hole in the cap-lifting tab on this #bottleopener was last night's fuck up (at the time a crack/ fissure). A little work with a Dremel tonight and I'm unusually pleased with it now.

Yes, my maker's mark is on upside down. I could also unfuck that, but I've decided to quit while I'm ahead.

Teasing no more! Here is a Cthulhu-inspired pipe s

Teasing no more! Here is a Cthulhu-inspired pipe stand made for @andrew_mog_morgan as part of the annual @fwtpodcast Treasure Trade (#FWTTT).

If the term "Cthulhu" is new to you, it refers to a body of fantastical horror stories written by H.P. Lovecraft in the early 20th century (mostly in Providence, RI). If you're still not familiar, then Google will fill in the gaps ... there's a lot out there.

This piece combines traditional forging, MIG welding, filing, the liberal use of an angle grinder, as well as more liberal quantities of panic, frustration, and late nights. I'm going to say that about 80% of what you see here is stuff I've never done before, or not done in this context or quantity (hence, the frustration, etc.).

The coloring was achieved using metal patinas from Sculpt Nouveau (@sculptnouveau). It's a hair under a foot long, 6 inches tall, and about 5 inches deep.

I'm happy with it. But I think I'll go back to bottle openers and chopsticks for a while...

My "tease" project is finished and going overseas

My "tease" project is finished and going overseas to its recipient. It's a surprise gift, so I can't do the reveal on social media until that person receives it.

Hopefully, it won't be very long... but it is going overseas...

I'm just going to leave this here... . . . . . . .

For this year's Fools with Tools Treasure Trade (#

For this year's Fools with Tools Treasure Trade (#FWTTT) I was lucky enough to have Jon Wills of Jon Wills Woodworking (IG: @jonwillswoodworking) out of Virginia as my secret Fool.

I got the package earlier this week, but have only just now had the chance to take pictures of the *amazing* contents of my holiday gift. I did let Jon know that it arrived and I loved it (I'm not a monster...).

Anyway, my gift items included a Viking-inspired treasure chest (with something very touching inside of the lid...). Also, a Serenity Christmas ornament and newborn Alien face-hugger (naawww...) done in wood and resin.

Thanks so much again, Jon! And many thanks to all awesome people in the Fools with Tools Podcast group (IG: @fwtpodcast)!
