A5 this is almost impossible for me to answer. I use so many different mediums I don't even know what I'd say is "not my own medium". And I appreciate that's a cop out nul answer. Sorry.

A4 I'd probably go for my sewing stuff. Needles, snips, thimble, pins. It's all very portable and minimal.

A3 aside from the obvious of clamps. I could really use a better selection of chisels, different sizes, shapes,.etc... I really only have the bare minimum currently.

A2 I have a set of three chisels I for €5, and they are utter crap. I really only keep them around for things like opening paint cans. Utter waste of money.

A1 well this week I'm hobbling around on crutches, which has really screwed up my plans for making anything this week. And then this evening I missed makershour as I was helping replumb the makerspace. As much as I can help when I can't stand for very long.

@MakersHour Q5. Describe as in Alt Text a work by another maker, that is not in your medium. Why did you choose that?

A5. A giclée print framed for wall display showing the coastal hills, grass, flowers, cliffs and ocean near Big Sur, California, originally carved as a polychrome woodblock print in Japanese style and reproduced mechanically via art-print quality inkjet.

I visited Tom Killion's Point Reyes workshop after admiring his work in coffee table art book form, and this was the print we chose to buy. The artist said that he was pleased with the print process and that the larger scale worked well with his very detailed woodblock carving.
