Yaaay Marie!!!
Deal report! It always looks so official when it's on Publishers Marketplace. I'm delighted to work with @tangentgeoff.bsky.social at @apbooks.bsky.social as this book comes to life.

Quick tip 1: empty your dust collector more often.

Quick tip 2: if you don’t remember the last time you emptied it, it’s too late.

Quick tip 3: tell a friend what you’re doing before you open the filter bucket… just in case.

Quick tip 4: AHHHHHHGH..*

Picked up some 1800’s handles for my tool cabinet. I’ve fallen hard for Victorian cabinet hardware.

I wish there was a cheap matte PETG. I love the material but I don’t care for the glossy sheen.

That’s some pretty lumber. I’m really pushing the limits of my pokey older tools on this project.

Welp, the 2 page synopsis is done. The initial query list is pretty much done. I’ve just got to get personalized query letters done, prep the excerpt pages, and then… wait.

Because querying starts in January. And it’s still December.

Hot take: walnut sapwood is gorgeous and should be featured, not cut away.

Lathes are hard y’all. I have so much respect for anyone who turns a pile of gifts every year like it’s nothing.

I’m trying to turn one damn thing and it’s kicking my ass.

An important reminder: we don't have time to lie about wanting to see your next work.

If an agent asks to see future projects, they mean it!

It occurs to me this morning that when Leia says “Dantooine” to Tarkin, she is knowingly throwing an *entire inhabited planet* under the bus to save her own “peaceful” people.

Beta feedback has been great so far. There’s still plenty of research to do, but come January I’m back in the query trenches.

This is fascinating.
In 1890, the X and Y chromosomes were discovered. It was found that the men who were tested had 46 chromosomes, including an X and a Y, while women who were tested also had 46 chromosomes, including 2 X chromosomes.
So obviously the conclusion was that the Y chromosome defined masculinity.

The hand wringers in the 3D printer community worried about backlash against the hobby forget that this country has proven time and again that it lacks the collective will to do *anything* about guns, even the *wrong* thing.

Recent gift for a my best friend of 30 years. Walnut frame with an oak panel… the oak was one of those pieces of wood you have sitting around waiting for the perfect project.

Kaisen foam insert, the tools are all vintage Starrett or Browne & Sharpe.
