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:

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.

Current pages:

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.
