The longest "straight" line I've ever cut by hand.

Finding the "right" pull for drawers is exhausting to me. I much prefer the less is more approach to pulls or hardware when I can.

Fun find at HEB today. Pot by me. #pottery #cactus #cactuspot #succulentpot #gymnocalycium

A mesquite cube with some oak that was stained black. I'm never really more than marginally happy with how anything comes out, but this one is pretty good. It's about 8x8x8 and it was a fun deviation to make a cube and add a little door. #wood #woodworking #woodworker #mesquite #boxmaking

I just gently pull them off if they are sticking. If they still won't move with me giving some gentle pressure I give it another day or so and come back and they generally slide off.

Those look variegated to me. Not a question of to much/to little light. A lot of people will be interested in getting those from you.

I had some odd shaped scraps so I made a sword. Made sense in the moment. #wood #woodworking #woodworker

Sowed two types of #adenium seeds and was worried about getting them mixed up, but one of them was a one hundred percent failure so it should be pretty easy. #adenium #caudex #desertplant #desertrose

I have limited space as well, but I would hate to go back to not having one. I think the term game changer is over used, but they are really handy to have.

That grain is great.

I bought a smaller used Jet, and it's incredibly useful.

That is so cool. Being able to open and close the wings makes this so much more fun.

Another pot ready for another plant. My goal is always heavy, heavy texture. #pottery #cactuspot #ceramics #cacti #succulantpottery

I was talking to someone on here and she was talking about wedging in rolled oats and firing. All for the same reason, to create voids and texture.

That would be more interesting than me just dumping it in the yard.

The dust of my saw.

I just flipped through that issue. I like the idea of Adirondack style chairs that are easy to get out of. The tool chest in that issue looks great as well.

Sepultura. “Refuse/Resist.” 1993. I can’t think of a metal album that’s aged better than Chaos AD — why say anything, just let the music do the talking #Metalsky

Someone told me about pieces they saw that had sawdust and wood shavings worked in. But I've never held anything like that and don't think I've seen it either.

I have a few... And I will save the seeds. I've germinated them before but they are slow slow growers. I'm more likely to pick a few up here and there and graft them to faster growing stock.

I've got one blooming right now as well.

These are such a great design.

I've been pushing perlite into some of my clay before firing and getting some melting and a few interesting effects. I honestly was hoping the perlite would just burn away and leave hollow spaces though.

You put lava rocks in the clay body?

I remember when this was new and it blew my mind.

I may or may not have used the "If it looks straight" line a time or two.

I have some faces I've been working on to put in my Agave/rock garden, and now obviously want to add skulls.

A reel from a week or two ago I posted on one of those other platforms. I'm a fan at texture as you can see. #pottery #potter #ceramics #handmade #cactuspot #cactipot #cactus

Ready for some high fire! A lot of my pottery are for my own plants. I plan to repot one of my Boophones in this come spring. #pottery #potter #ceramics #cactipot #succulantpot #handmade #cactuspottery

I keep not buying one of those green pika pencils and regretting it. I think you can put a white lead in them?

Small keepsake box I completed a short time ago. All the pros know that the roof of the car is the best place to take pictures of your projects. #wood #woodworking #walnut #keepsakebox #boxjoint #woodworker

I bought the pig sculpture from Jon Nelson about a month ago. I like it so much that I built these shelves for it. The other items were just at hand and I threw up there to see what they look like. All for my "office". #wood #woodworking #walnut #shelves #sculpture

Yes, spalted pecan. There is a saw mill not far from me that usually has some, so it's easy to find in my immediate area.

Simple done well can often be called elegant as well. Nice box.

A few more of my pots back from a cone ten firing. I make these for my #cacti #pachypodium and #adeniums #pottery #potter #ceramics #cactuspot #pottersofbluesky #handmade

Another pot back from firing. When it comes to my pottery I'm a fan of oxide, texture and skulls. When it's other people's pottery I have a much wider range of things I appreciate. #pottery #ceramics #handmade #cactuspot #succulentpot
