Depression
Nose under water. Hard days. Netflix and rumination. No medicine. No help. “Too proud to beg, too dumb to steal” (Sting, but it fits). The non-option option. It’s a struggle to breathe. Wishing I could stop.
Years ago as a young fella I died and came back, now I’m broken, physically and mentally. I feel like an old warrior that lost his chance to die in battle, now cursed to die a death of living decay of both body and mind.
“He who works with his hands is a laborer. He who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman. He who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist” - St. Francis of Assissi.

I got the materials for the last touch on my entertainment unit.
A little carving I made in agatized jasper while waiting for the tumbler to finish
After some delays and distraction I've finally gotten back on track enough to finish a few things that were cluttering up my shop. This coffee table is made from a variety of reclaimed woods from a variety of sources. The pine top and walnut trim are all wood from pallets, oak end caps and cross bars are wood from a couch, the legs are pine from a box spring matress and the glass was rescued from a throw away pile. Another persons garbage and my skills equals coffee table.
My first go at working stone. That was fun, I have ideas.....
“What civilization is, is 6 billion people trying to make themselves happy by standing on each other’s shoulders and kicking each other’s teeth in. It’s not a pleasant situation. And yet, you can stand back and look at this planet and see that we have the money, the power, the medical understanding, the scientific know-how, the love and the community to produce a kind of human paradise. But we are led by the least among us - the least intelligent, the least noble, the least visionary. We are led by the least among us and we do not fight back against the dehumanizing values that are handed down as control icons. This is something, culture is not your friend. Culture is for other people’s convenience and the convenience of various institutions, churches, companies, tax collection schemes, what have you. It is not your friend. It insults you. It disempowers you. It uses and abuses you. None of us are well treated by culture. Yet we glorify the creative potential of the individual, the rights of the individual. We understand the felt-presence of experience is what is most important. But the culture is a perversion. It fetishizes objects, creates consumer mania, it preaches endless forms of false happiness, endless forms of false understanding in the form of squirrelly religions and silly cults. It invites people to diminish themselves and dehumanize themselves by behaving like machines - meme processors of memes passed down from Madison Avenue and Hollywood…”

Absolutely!
Coffee table top, half done, made from reclaimed pallet stock and some oak boards reclaimed from a couch demolition. As a frugal wood nut I explore every potential for free stock, free is misleading though cause depending on the donor piece and fasteners required to assemble it, there is a lot of work required to clean the boards up for use, I love nail holes and broken up edges though, it all adds character.
For want of a place to sit while I break in my micro shop. Adirondack chair from reclaimed pallet stock and some left over cuts from my entertainment stand project (twice reclaimed fence boards!) for the back.
It was wet and a little loud, river stone coasters, just thought I'd give it a try.
Finally out of my imagination and my little workspace into service in my livingroom. Every piece of wood was from pallets and old fence boards. My first go at bending wood using hot water (I'd use steam but I live in a small apartment).

Corner shelf, T&G cedar scraps with pine strip accents.
Necessity being the mother of invention, I used a half pallet to build a clamp jig for larger glueups. Offset pivots on the rounded ends of pinch boards applies pressure when rotated, it's been working out very well.
Can I get an AMEN? #wisewords #quotestoliveby #ReclaimedWoodGoods
Some hand made knick knack shelves, all reclaimed wood from pallets. Oak, walnut and pine sp.
Small shelf from pallet scraps, this one is a work in progress. I'll put pictures of the others after finishing.
