Workbench
The rough map of what I work with.
This is not a studio tour. It is just a way to keep the different messes from becoming one big mess.
Analogue photography
Photography is now its own area: Photography, Albums, and Contact sheet.
The workbench side is the process: cameras, lenses, film, scanning, selection, printing, and the small notes that make the next attempt less random.
Pen plotter
Generated lines, SVGs, pens, paper, and the path from screen to page.
Current pages:
- From Pixel to Pen
- Gantry
- Tracer
- Generative Art
- VHS
- Primitive
- Vectorize
- CityPlot
- SVGToolBox
- SVG2WaterColor
Linocut and block printing
Drawing, transfer, cutting, inking, printing, and finding out which part of the process I underestimated this time.
Useful pages here can be a finished print, a block, a transfer method, a paper/ink note, or a failed attempt with a useful observation.
CNC and 3D printing
Parts, jigs, fixtures, test cuts, useful prints, and machine checklists.
The main value is often not the object. It is the setup note that prevents the same mistake twice.
Electronics and small devices
Small circuits, recorders, sensors, buttons, batteries, and the slow process of becoming less bad at physical electronics.
Current seeds:
Software
Small tools, systems, scripts, web apps, and occasionally overbuilt things.

Discbound notebooks
Pages, sketches, lists, diagrams, and places where thinking leaks onto paper.
This is not a diary. It is for selected pages and notebook systems that are useful to look back at.
Draft pages:
Archery and bow making
Bows, tuning, material behavior, form, feedback, and repeatable checks.
This fits the same pattern as everything else here: try something, observe what happened, adjust the process.
Music, books, travel, philosophy
These mostly live under Collections and Notes. They are not separate from making things. They are part of what feeds it.
