What did you accomplish today?

[DarkWeb]

Yeah, the Steam Punk craze would make creations like that in demand, I would think.

Spoon art is pretty decent and easy to accuire.

Thank You, but I don't sell. I do sign the pieces though.

Places like, https://www.etsy.com has person after person selling their scrap metal art. From cheap to hundreds of dollars. Some crappy and some nice.

It's like everything else in life. Unless you're famous or your artwork breaks out the norm. A person won't make enough money to make it worth giving up things that gives you emotions as you walk through the house.

Money is ugly. I'd rather have the art myself.

I knew a guy that makes a shit load of money with old railroad spikes.......he's happy.

I read another chapter in my "Organic Chem Lab" book, and it had me lol'ing. I can hear cannabineer "teaching" the class in my mind! I have read four chapters so far and it is great, and I'm normally not much of a reader. Very light, easy to read, and lots of humor inserted!

I think next I'm going to make a loaf of fresh banana bread, and maybe have a burrito for lunch. I made burritos last night from leftover beef roast, and I have leftover burrito fixins' !



This is good stuff too!!

Like knives? If so, that's where there's decent money.

I've never got into blacksmithing. I mean I've beat on hot metal but making something out of it. Never have and I don't know why...

In the morning I had some Greek yoghut and fruit, did 2 hours cardio in the afternoon then two hours weights had a light lunch, in the night time I ran 1/4 marathon and dined with a lovely partner but before I could do anything I woke up.

There is. Definitely where a name has to be made though. That is something that is more than art......it has to work right and be beautiful.

There’s a Russian on YouTube who makes Damascus steel from cool stuff like ball bearings. User: shurap

I've seen that. Cool stuff.

Lots of knives are laser etched I've noticed..."damascus style"

Production and art is a tough balance.

I would wake myself up trying to scream.

Today is round 2 of lawn mower wars.

The craftsman won't start and the Husqvarna has a broken power drive.

Pretty sure the problem with the Husky is worn gears on the rear driveshaft.
Should be an easy test to verify... since the front wheels work fine, I'll swap the gears from front to back and see if that makes a difference.
If it's not the driveshaft gears, it's the gears on the wheels which can be easily replaced.

If it's not a gear problem, the rear tranny is probably shot -- and that's a $94 part.

I bet there is one really good mower between them.

Well they are both AWD push mowers w/Briggs & Stratton motors, so it's possible that some parts are interchangeable.

Hell I think the motor is only mounted to the deck with 4 big bolts.

One of them is "Abby Normal"...

Most rear trannies are.

So , who likes bagels? I have got to do a couple stops next week near a couple of these and find an edible one.
It's been a decade without something acceptable, like trying to find a decent pretzel.

Best bagels

Ah it's probably just a different color with different stickers..........which one has more displacement?
