And this is my "worktable". See my crossword and my crochet? This is not an exciting job, but I have met some interesting people. Doing this completely reinforces my decision to stay home. I think likes some SAHD time. More coherent posting when I have a real keyboard!

Built from reclaimed marble, recovered by reuse action (reuseaction.com) from a lavatory renovation in one of the Buffalo Public Schools. It was a stall partition, so a close inspection shows who loved who, and all sorts of school age nonsense scratched into the marble. We cut it down to size for the customer and left the markings in the marble as part of its charm. The legs, undercarriage and mounting brackets are all made of reclaimed house trim. The marble installed originally in the 1920s, most likely by Italian immigrant craftsmen. In this city the old wood work was done by Poles and Germans, while the stone work was done by the Italians. crafts they brought from their home countries. Without rescuing this material it (and its heritage) would be in the landfill.
Each piece we build is unique and imbued with history...and keeping materials out of landfills.

The Stacks at 224 is an exhibition by Forrest Sincoff Gard, 2023-2024 Artist In Residence at the Office for the Arts Ceramics Program. The exhibition features all new work by Forrest that was conceptualized and made during his residency.
The Stacks is the newest addition to his Built to Play body of work, which highlights the importance of play throughout our entire lives. In the Built to Play series, Forrest focuses on the mundane parts of life, such as toasting a waffle, folding socks, or putting a book on a shelf. He turns those moments into ceramic art objects as well as risk-and-reward games that are specific for the gallery, often challenging expectations for that space.
Sincoff Gard drew inspiration for The Stacks from the bookshelves in his South End apartment as well as from Boston Public Library, Harvard’s Widener Library, and MassArt’s Morton R. Godine Library, which is where the artist collected discarded books that he used to make plaster molds. These molds were used to create the ceramic books on display. The Stacks also features other objects one might find inside a library—a large hand-built globe, a playable board game, and a wheel-thrown wall clock. Forrest’s decision to include an open plaster mold was inspired by the worktable seen on display as part of the Glass Flowers exhibition at Harvard’s Natural History Museum. He desires to share how the work was made and to remind viewers that these books were made out of clay.
During the reception, visitors had the chance to interact with the work by playing a stacking game. The player who made the tallest stack won a prize: their choice of book from the stack. There was no penalty for smashing a book.

My tiles were always slipping around on my krapht worktable. Ta-da! A little velcro has taken care of that problem.
Fancy worktables, pre-illustrated with generic state diagrams. They could have made great improvised whiteboards... and we are still a few sephirot short of a full diagram.
This is what my worktable looked like, organized confusion, while I was getting ready for TCC. A fabulous event too, I might add!
First entry for '10. Haven't touched this in months. I used all scraps that were either on worktables or the floor, in an effort to clean up.
A tap and tool grinder machine is a specialized grinding machine used for sharpening and reconditioning cutting tools, such as taps, drills, and end mills. These cutting tools are widely used in various manufacturing processes, such as machining, metalworking, and fabrication.
The tap and tool grinder machine typically features a rotating grinding wheel that is used to grind and sharpen the cutting edge of the tool. The machine may also have an adjustable worktable that allows for precise positioning of the tool during grinding.
To use the machine, the operator typically mounts the tool to be sharpened on the worktable and adjusts the grinding wheel to the appropriate angle and position. The machine is then turned on and the operator uses the grinding wheel to sharpen the tool. The operator may need to make multiple passes with the grinding wheel to achieve the desired level of sharpness.
Some tap and tool grinder machines may also have additional features, such as coolant systems to keep the grinding wheel cool during use and digital displays to provide precise measurements of grinding angles and depths.
Overall, tap and tool grinder machines are essential tools for maintaining and reconditioning cutting tools used in manufacturing processes. They help to ensure that these tools remain sharp and effective, which can improve the quality and efficiency of manufacturing operations.

On the right is the 3-story "townhouse" I am building from a cardboard product display box I snagged at Sam's Club. All of the way over to the left, on the table, is a cigar box shrine tribute to *my* Jersey Shore.
Built this inexpensive lighttent for photoshoots at work. About $120 including a coupla underpowered lights, before I replaced 'em with more powerful ones... and a second sheet to cover, after the twin bedsheet wasn't big enough.
I'll be raising it up onto a makeshift worktable once we get the guys over to build it for me. For now, I'm on the floor.
