What a piece of work is cat, how splendid in form, how noble in feeling

More boxing this week:

Getting a smoother and tighter form and finding "the straight in the curved" on the lid, making for better transitions with the inletting:

Footwork:

Continuing to develop the combos of wood stain and gun oil on the leather, and leather dye and leather cream on the wood. Polishing the techniques of riveting and application of the finishes:

If I had the money, I'd definitely buy one. It looks like the ideal travel case.

I kow how it is, saw every episode when I ws a kid, that is what got me into martial arts...ironically....David Carridine (the star) knew none at the time

That's nice of you to say

They're still a little too rough around the edges - literally - that I'd be ok taking money for one.

I like the clean sharp edges, but it looks unfinished. I've done mock-ups to see how burnishing transitions from the bonded portion of leather and wood to the lid, and it looks messy. Any kind of liquid or cream that would color the edges bleeds to the underside/inside and I'm wanting to keep that as clean as possible to retain the natural tanned leather if only for aesthetics. A brown felt pen might be a simple fix...

Looks good

“Unfinished” good example of “taiji”

My sister and I have very different parenting styles. She does all this modern parenting with patient explanations and all that. I'm more of an old fashioned "Do it. Now. Because I said so" kind of guy, but the irony is they listen to me!

I watched this series all the time when I was kid, thoroughly enjoyed it.

I did as well, partly because we only had 4 channels. Admittidly, there was a Lot I did not understand.

I took one to the local shoe repair shop where I buy my leather and asked one of the cobblers if there were any tips or tricks, and she said people don't really care about that and that a lot of pricey leather shoes have the same edge.

Taiji...a work that's never done

The final round:

Same box in different camera modes trying to show the grain


Moving on to other things, for now

Learning the eight brocades qigong exercise today. My theory is it will help with the colossal soreness I have from using a scythe.

 

[Prince_Alarming106]

Prince alarming casted 8 brocades. It's super effective!

 

[Prince_Alarming106]

Sod makiwara for the moment until I can build a real one. For now, I've hung up my bag and found my bag gloves

Also, the self employment is working out great. I now have 3 clients and put together I'm making nearly twice what I would be getting on benefits
