More work on the arm.

Over the past couple of days, I have come up for the concept for a third attachment that will let me use the various hand tools that I have with the centering arm.

I have still to work on the dipping problem.  It is probably the last major obstacle to creating an opener that makes levered, flat  and repeatable holes. I have some photos of my work and observations that are related to this task.

website work

Off from the studio for some time.  I have a lot of photos from the centering arm that I would like to organize into a guide or story, and It is quickly becoming apparent that the task at hand will take some day of organization and or work rather than the few days that I had envisioned that it would. sketched up some ideas in my notebook this morning and hopefully I can flesh them out.

open sesame

 

Worked on my concept of an opener to go along with my centering arm. It has so far been a process of trial and error in building it, but I think that I have the concept refined enough to at least test its viability. if it works well, I hope to expand its capabilities and iron out whatever kinks that I encounter during the testing process.

For right now, quality is taking a little bit of a backseat to the ability quickly refine the arm and its components. Still have to work on that Artist’s statement and I decided that I need a better logo than ” make the everyday elegant”. Marketing is less fun than creating and tinkering.

Off to two shows.

busy in the studio

i have been trying to get my website updated at least once a week with a comment or so, but recently i have lost track of time in my studio. I have been working on a set of berry bowls, trying to get them done as quickly as possible. i might add a picture or two that i took with my smart phone.

I am getting a firing done for market days and some other upcoming shows. I have some pictures on my camera of the process that I will upload when I Get back to update this site.

I have been busy in the studio, but not busy with updating  the site. I realised this and have decided to get some more pictures posted in various places, and have gotten some more photos to upload into the gallery.
