LOL I don't need an excuse. I just love quality tools. Mostly doing repairs and stuff around the house. Some modifications for my compu-dobby loom. Have a shit load of Purple heart, Walnut and Hard Rock Maple I plan to use to build a loom and a Spinning Wheel and a few other things.

I need to go down to Bonhoff Lumber and pick up some decent pine (only shit local). Plus I just love wandering about their yard. You can pick up some steals on gorgeous exotics if you're willing to dig through their bins. I'd like to make a real quality hand spindle and I dream about what it would be like to create a work of art like this:
http://www.dropspindle.info/spinning/triple (I am not capable of that) nor would I use it.

What I would like to make is a Production Wheel that isn't as fragile as my Quebec wheel that I could actually use for flax spinning.

Rumpelstiltskin


It took me 4 tries to spell that it kelp spelling rumpelforskin

Had a prospect over.. Told her I was just watching Netflix and chilling.. Next thing I know she's got my crank in her hand making up a secret handshake and I had to reiterate I was trying to Netflix and chill like actuall just chill and she's distracting me from the chill part. Now I'm finally back to enjoying Netflix and chilling.. Kids these days

I used this roll of silver paper I got from Walmart craft department, in a wardrobe moving box.. that thing was like an oven.. :fire:
My first real go at indoor was in a 2'x8'x6' tall box i built in my mommys garage in '89. Painted white. My mom didnt want me to be making a mess in the closet in my room anymore. Only reason i remember '89 was because i was a junior in highschool. I had fluorescents on the lid, and on the walls. Sort of like a big phototron. It worked pretty good. Had a fart fan in there and everything.

As soon as i graduated HS, i moved out and built my first what are now aeroflo tubes. Scored some old school diamond brand ballasts and hoods hps. Been growing ever since.

Big shout out to Hahns lighting in San Jose. I miss you Merideth! I heard they shut down :-(
