Finished assembling the figure, but am still working on all the decorative accessories.
So many little pieces. So much sanding.

Temps and humidity are approaching Hell’s front porch levels, so I spent the early part of the afternoon updating my wall of happy behind my desk in the janky add-on room that serves as my home office. Some creative work from myself, some from Kiddo, and some from @KeybillyJefe’s awesome postcard art project.

I know my dreams are atomic and I can take any flack
Wrapping up 1984 with an eclectic mix of songs about love, dancing, ADHD, obsession, BDSM, and the end of the world. Plus, the best ABBA cover ever recorded!
After six 1.5 to 2 hour mixes we are only just now approaching the middle of the decade. I don’t know how many mixes total this will end up being, but MixCloud only gives you 10 for free, so I might have to make them longer from here on out.

I made some shelf brackets out of a hardwood scrap, oak I think. my friend’s shelf is dark wood, so I reduced a cup of coffee down to almost nothing and brushed on a few coats and dried it in the sun. it raised the grain a little so I sanded it with 220 super fine grit. removed the dust and wiped it with coats of Danish oil until it filled all the end grain, 3 coats, I think.

Do they have a sort of coffee smell?
Nice work!

probably not after the oil, if at all.
[checks]
you can definitely smell the oil, but putting my nose right on it you can tell there’s coffee with it, but it’s extremely faint. like, maybe confirmation bias faint.

Have you tried the vinegar/steel wool trick with oak? It reacts with the tannins and darkens it to a similar look as walnut.

Am I the only one who thought, “reducing a cup of coffee” meant you drank the coffee?
