1/20/11 - 3:00 finishing
I had a problem to solve; I needed to hold my didgeridoo and paint Shellac onto it simultaneously. My solution was a rake. The first coat sat for 30 minutes, the second for and hour and a half, the third sat all night until I buffed it with some steel wool.

not in my underwear please.
Time 3:00
1/10/11 - sanding
1/11/11 - research
1/15/11 - sanding
I am being more gental with the sanding this time and doing it by hand. I also had to fill a thin spot with epoxy resin. I feel that I could spend days and days sanding it to perfection.

slack cracks

I went very slowly back over most of the cracks, making sure I had filled each one to the flush level. Any number of those cracks could have been disastrous had I experienced an inconvenient moment of distraction.

I got the two halves glued. I cut up the inner tube of a bicycle tire into strips, then after I applied the glue, Billy and I wrapped the rubber strips as tightly as we could around both halves as if we were putting together a very intense puzzle.

Bottom of the well

12/3/10 - 2:00 woodshop
I finished gouging. It was actually a decently stimulating activity. My perception of time was altered dramatically in this state. Hours become minutes. It feels more akin to play rather than work. For safety, it must be intensive play. I also finished the bore with Shellac, to keep the spit that accumulates in it from damaging the wood. It brought out the deepness of all the pigments and inspired me more to finish the outside and have a finished-looking product.

For the first time it has really stricken to me how much power I have in this endeavor. The quality of the product, both physical and mental, leans much more on me than anybody else.
