Been a while...

No real house stuff has been taking place. I have been working on building, acquiring the stuff I am going to need to reenact a 1860's miner this summer. Have been doing some woodworking towards that end. We are now selling on etsy under nelsonstudios, my goal is to make enough $$ from one hobby to pay for another. So far well I have sold one thing. Oh well. Built another slab table that is really pretty, if that one sells we will be well on our way. (http://acme66.blogspot.com/2008/01/natural-spalted-apple-wood-slab-coffee.html) I have the wood to build two more but that is the biggest one. Put lights in it to, overachieving little shit ain't I?

I love the top of the little coffee table but the legs are badly out of proportion to my eye anyway. (http://acme66.blogspot.com/2008/02/bb-table.html) Guess I shouldn't say that here huh?

I also still need to rebuild the motor in the Jeep before I take it out so add that to the hobby list. I sold the rest of the eBay stuff I could find and was lucky to pay for the listing fees.

Looking at buying a lot in Alder Montana, word of mouth, friend of a friend type deal. Has a trailer from 1959 on it, I doubt it will be salvageable but if it would serve as a place to cook, shower and wash clothes that would be great. We can always live in the camper like last year. We haven't seen it but the place hasn't had anyone stay in it for more than 8 years so the chance of everything being ok are quite small. I wonder if the local fire department would look the other way for a while?

Comments:
Oooh, very nice table! Yeah, I think that the legs are a little on the small side, proportion-wise, but again, I'm a snooty designer, so what would I know. ^_^ I'm sure plenty of people would snap it up just for the top piece. Keep up the good work!
