been doing a lot of wood shop stuff lately. metalworking is what i ultimately want to be doing, but wood tools are cheaper and easier to accommodate in a garage, and we have a LOT of wood-based projects for the new house that need doing.

pictured is today's makeshift, cobbled-together, single-use wood lathe. there's a ~secret project~ chucked up in it right now that I've been trying to make progress on for YEARS. finally getting somewhere :)
