End of an office. End of an era. Returning the space to its original use as a guest room. Maybe in keeping with my new career I should do a lot of built-ins in here.

The base is a mortise and tenon construction and likely grossly overbuilt for a coffee table. The interior of the drawers are lined with resawn grain matched thin maple. The hatches can throw a remote across the room. It’s very extra. But what a learning experience. Glad I stretched myself.

It has two drawers, two shelves, and two hatches. The base is soft maple. The top is birch veneered particle core edge banded with birch iron on.

Finally brought home my case piece from college. It took a few dings. Mistakes happened in the process. But I’m pretty happy with all the fancy things I made happen on this coffee table. #woodworking

Broke a kitchen mallet this week. Had some ash scrap, a chisel, saw, and some time. Now I have a replacement that I’m sure will crack on that darker vein. Maybe that’s why the wood was in the bin to begin with? I’ll just glue it back together when that happens. Finished with bees wax. #woodworking

I had some spare time last week while I wait on hardware so I knocked out this staked stool prototype from my classmates’ off cuts. Poplar with cherry wedges. Octagonal legs. Not so sure about the cross member for connection. Maybe I just do two non lapped diagonals next time. #woodworking

It's a classic null episode, all our good things will be perfectly negated out by bad things.

This week on the Motion Design Hotline we lookout this photograph. Every time I do it makes me laugh. How did Kyle get in that frame? And why is every day the same! That's right we're looking at at looping video technique in After Effects tomorrow at 12:00 ET right here: youtube.com/live/RMlDYvD...

No motion design hotline this week. @kylasaurusrex.bsky.social is away on vacation. When I asked him how long he sent me this? Not sure what it means.

This week @kylasaurusrex.bsky.social and I are talking about changing perspectives and transitioning in After Effects. I'm taking a 3d approach going from UP to FORWARD and some whirling in there too. Join us at 12:00 ET over on @adobelive.bsky.social here: youtube.com/live/c7WQBzX...

@kylasaurusrex.bsky.social and I are coming around the motion design Monday Meeting for a chat today. Drop by MondayMeeting.org to join in! It's an excellent podcast, a chill hang, a valuable resource, and just a great way to start your week. See you at 11 ET!

I have built my first workbench. It’s meant to be quick and temporary, but also heavy, and able to accommodate dog hole hardware for work holding. The pieces are lap jointed but covered with angle iron because they will absolutely loosen and try to warp. It’s made for now, not forever.

This week @kylasaurusrex.bsky.social and I are getting into some FUI concepts on the hotline. We're in an era of Santa depictions where he's either steampunk or jet-aged, but what if it was more... Weyland-Yutani inspired? See you today at 12:ET! www.youtube.com/watch?v=4t49...

Today's Motion Design Hotline is an event about events! @kylasaurusrex.bsky.social and I are getting into graphics on a grand scale and talking about the technical troubles behind these titanic treatments. See you at 12:00 ET on @adobelive.bsky.social! www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cOA...

Some folks here may know that I’ve gone back to school. Here’s my first larger project: my first ever dovetail carcass. I’ve never done hand cut dovetails before and these are some pretty rough ones. But what a great experience. My confidence and capacity on hand tools is way higher now.

Today @KylasaurusRex and I are thankful for everyone asking us for more collage-style tips. I'll be mushing together photos using effects to reshape and remix assets. Like how we make leftovers into a sandwich... that's on theme, right? 12ET right here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=umGa...

Show me your pets and what they’re named after? His papers said Sherbert, which we assumed was an incorrect spelling of sherbet. He was much more orange back then. He’s greyed out quite a lot in 7 years but he’s still just as sweet.

Bowls of orange sherbet and orange slices. An unpleasant dessert option compared to almost all other confections.

Kyle and I are playing a classic game of Effects Roulette on the hotline today. We each get 10 minutes to make something good from 3 random effects. Place your bets now! Come hang out at 16h00 et on Behance.net/ecabr… to join in the action!

Pink and dark blue Vapor wave graphics with bright text. Text reads: Motion design hotline. Effects roulette with Evan Abrams and Kyle Hamrick. Two attractive geniuses are pictured thinking deep and useful thoughts.

Did a lovely stream all about fabricating flags and fireworks for this festive fourth. If you're interested in too many techniques for each watch the replay: www.behance.net/videos/8c0120f2-d6f…
