I know you all have issues to resolve. Wounds to heal. And Personally, I often cringe when someone at Church or in Town, sticks out their hand and asks boldly ... “HOW HAVE YOU BEEN?” Well, you can lie and make up a tale that may suit the personality asking. You can tell the truth and be a real bummer to folks. Honestly, they’d most likely prefer choice one. Or, if the soul asking is a true friend, you might engage in a conversation that deals with yourself AND your friend. And “How have YOU BEEN?”

I try my best. Try not to be a bummer. Try not to wear them down. Try to support and encourage.

Enjoy






There is a wealth of opportunity when you become proficient with the Art form of “Coining”. I enjoy it. I am adding to my body of metal Dies.

You see some test Press/Strikes.

I’m thinking those introductions are like ice breakers to initiate a conversation. Sometimes I just say I’m doing fine because if I tell them how sore or painful I feel then it turns into a how bad they are doing and we all know everyone has issues . But then you might as well go sit at a bar and drown your sorrows .


Sooo how’s the weather ?? Haha

Hey those dies look like you’re goin to town . I have trouble with those micro things the older I get . I can see a lot of tedious effort there . I can’t wait to see the results from the ones you’re carving now .
Keep up the good work!

Thanks

Thank you my friend. I appreciate the encouragement.

Today I worked on a bench tool that will help create the Scalloped Edging that looks nice around the Primary Image. It’s all coming together.

Time to get ready for tomorrow afternoon in the shop. Good Night.
