Etching Glass Coffee Mug – Video

Several months ago (maybe a year), I purchased a Dremel Stylo. It’s a lot smaller than your standard Dremel. Meant for detail carving or etching. It’s meant to be able to hold like a pen. I only ever etched one thing with it. The missus was recently gifted a glass coffee mug she absolutely loves.…

20 Read in 2020

Every year I set a Goodreads book reading challenge. For 2020, I set a goal of 20 books. I have never been able to reach the goals I set but I was determined to hit the goal this year. In the beginning of 2020, I was building a lot of furniture and that is when…

A Conflict with RSS – James Van Dyne by James James (jamesvandyne.com)

The major difference between the feeds of the Social Dilemma and your RSS feed is one is algorithmly designed to addict and manipulate, while the other is just a chronological list of stuff you’re interested in reading. What I do in these cases is I give a quick glance at the unreads for something…

Sal’s Tables

I am still building furniture. I am working on this five foot dining table at the moment. The end of last year and the beginning of this year was the busiest I had been building. The COVID-19 virus kept me from actively reaching out to people that had requested a piece. This order came from…

Instagram

I think I prefer Instagram for keeping up with friends on Social Media. Going to keep Facebook for business and to see what’s on special at my favorite restaurants and who’s doing curbside. Blogging would be much better. A few friends still blog. I keep trying to blog more but I fail. So, I won’t…

Working From Home

For the passed two months, I have been working from home due to the COVID-19 virus and because of remodeling being done at the office. I fell in love with it. I mentioned it to a few friends that maybe I should look for a permanent full time work from home job. That lead to…

14 Years Washing and Drying

When I was approved for my home loan around 14 years ago I was surprised that I was going to be able to move in without putting down any money. Little did I know, I was going to end up spending a good chunk of change on appliances. The house was only going to have…
