The trellis is built and installed. I'm really happy with how it turned out, especially for a first welding project.

13! If she doesn't chicken out, she'll be heading to Girls Rock! DC. You can all come see her at the 9:30 Club on August 16. No kiddin'. Rock!  link | 0 comments

So, I've had some lame-ass FreeCycle experiences, but the Ovation Deep-Bowl guitar with on-board electronics I just got is definitely not lame ass. Well, OK, it was pretty busted up--the neck was broken off, and there were several loose struts. A little wood glue, some super-glue gel, and improvised hide glue made from Knox unflavored gelatin, and everything's sweet. I plugged it into the amp I got from FreeCycle and rocked out--Free Bird sounds quite excellent on an amplified acoustic.  link | 0 comments

You know how rebar has those little ridges on the sides? You know how we've been welding rebar recently? I now have a blister on my pinky in the exact pattern of those little ridges. I don't think it'll scar, but I kinda wish it would. I mean, what a cool fingerprint that'd be!  link | 0 comments
