I don't know how much reach my feed has in to the #UK #Construction industry, or to folk who know someone trying to get their first break as a construction #professional but please #boost this so it might reach folk who need to see it.

Our friends at AG Surveying in #Ware #Hertford are looking to offer #employment for their next #apprentice #QuantitySurveyor and are taking applications right now. It's a short deadline and will be competitive but certainly worth a look:

I was chatting with an artist friend last week about an artwork we have long admired- Francois Morellet's Deconstructed Circle- where the artist suspends neon arches that would make a circle together. It appears that the tubes are hanging from their electrode wires- a big electrical no no that seems to be working for him.

I have a bunch of 10 foot straight neon tubes collecting dust across the warehouse, and a big fancy test transformer, so I gave it a go. Felt wrong in every way to suspend those tubes like that... but seems to work just fine (they aren't heavy).

My apprentice came by and saw my crazy test before she finished welding up her first bamboo stick using some of my fancy scraps- one of the fanciest beginner bamboo sticks I have ever seen. I walked her through bombarding it too (its rare I get to teach that). Apprentice Claire is learning to bend the rules like the best of them :)

Der #Zauberlehrling (The #Apprentice) oder: "Die #Geister, die ich rief... werde ich jetzt nicht mehr los." #Trump zeigt immer wieder mal sein wahres Gesicht und seine totale #Gewissenlosigkeit, auch seinen eigenen #Unterstützer/n gegenüber. Wenn alles nichts hilft, schiebt er es auf die #Demokraten. Die Half-Term-Wahlen werden spannend.

A fresh, candid article on our Patreon page about the Bookbinder's Apprentice, Sharon Smith, and her latest accomplishment, a design binding on a paperback to hardcover conversion. She did a great job.

While pride may be a sin, there is a certain level obtained when your apprentice does a fantastic job on her first paperback to hardcover rebind and nails it.

More details on Sharon's project tomorrow with lots of pictures!
