A good day in the studio
by Tony Peters on December 2, 2011
In general this week was horrible I got Gastro and lost a half my remaining class days to finish the pair of sculptures I'm working on.......however today was good I got about 3 hours of alone time in the studio, just my my tools (a pair of angle grinders with wood cutting/shaping disks) a block of wood and a dust collector......... I put about 5 inches of chips in the dust collector and got a good start on the last piece. they are a dancing couple I call them bride and groom the groom is nearly complete I have another 8 hours on the bride.

Thanks Scott, I finish up the power tool portion of the sculpting the Bride today and turned some tool handles on the Lathe. It was a fun and productive afternoon in the studio though I am coated in Sawdust and in desperate need of a shower

I read Daily Beast for mush of my news because I like the tone and because there aren't many conservatives left who don't deal exclusively in hate (Hannity Rush etc) I actually used to consider myself a conservative but I can't reconcile their embrace of ignorance nor their dismissal of a changing word. Anyway Meghan McCain wrote an interesting piece on the old guard's disregard for the internet Go »Beyond annoying...
well I'm officially retired now, sorta looking for a job but content to work in and around the house for a bit. My one task that I need to accomplish is to complete my VA claim and boy is that annoying....I have my medical record all 5 inches of it and I have to prove each issue that I am claiming and when I first had it treated....this Go »Irene.....what a b!tch
the storm was past people were starting to move around and then I hear what sounds like a gunshot coming from the south east corner of our house......we walk out side and a tree half a block away crashed into the power lines ripping my transmission line off the house along with a a bunch of siding. Joy. Go »argh
I got a phone call this morning from work (I'm on vacation) wondering if I know that I'm transferring in 2 weeks???? SAY WHAT???? yet again (this is the 3rd time) the Navy is transferring me to another job in the same area. Go »Under water and leeching
yesterdays rains have lead to a flooded power station, 24 hours of no power, a river that looks like class 6 rapids and me sitting in the parking lot of my local Midas drinking DnD coffee and leeching Wifi trying to find out if I've got school this afternoon.....I hope we have power by tonight I would really like to cook diner instead of take out again.

It's looking good so far. Sometimes taking a long break to be creative and focus your mind on a project can be just what you need to relieve stress. Kelly speaks often of the therapeutic feeling she gets sometimes while working on crafts with her hands. We spent one night of Gothic Earth constructing voodoo dolls, and one guy at the table, the least inclined to indulge in this sort of thing, said it made him feel so relaxed and happy after an aggravating day at work. I say keep at this bride & groom and feel better. :-)
