Things I learned today.

Wood carving is hard. And tedious.

Thats about 3 hours of work. I don’t think I’d have the patiences
to be a wood carver. Yup, three hours to create a ugly chess
piece of some sort. Maybe next time I’ll try the dremel. Or wait
till I get old and spend the time whittlin’…

Also learned that I don’t have much in the way of painting skills.
Definately need to work on my brush skills, since I generally want
precise, fluid lines with smooth edges and consistent shading, and
well, I’m not so good at that. Sneak peek at a sample as the
background for above pic.

Also learned there are at least two welding supply stores
in the raleigh area.

There also seems to be lots of motorcycle shops in the area.

Killing Joke’s “Extremities, Dirt & Various Repressed Emotions” is
an excellent “driving around randomly” album.

It would be cool to learn how to do
pinstriping. They have cool brushes
