Couple of new 'jigsaw' fountain pens: if you're thinking "wow, that looks like a lot of work!" You're right. :) Come check out the Pewter toned one 613flea March 9th.

Examples of beautiful ballpoint pens: hand made from (for the most part) Ottawa area woods: Available online locally via Givopoly or in person at the next 613flea at Lansdowne.

It is possible that we cannot blame Stuntman Stu for the weather coming. I put my snowblower at the very back of the shed on the weekend. Or maybe the people who got their motorcycles out already? Nah… Its Stu’s fault. :)

I haven’t been here in a while: and I realize I haven’t missed it. Especially when every second item in my feed is an advertisement of approximate quality to the old after midnight infomercials. Wondering why my ad blocker isn’t doing its job :(

There is something really f***ing wrong in our society that we can find millions and billions for sports palaces, but can't provide enough thousands & tens of thousands to support charitable organizations supporting special needs kids and their families. #ottawa

haven't been here in a while: a couple of examples of recent new woodwork: Come find me 613flea on July 6th at TD Place and Aberdeen pavilion & Aberdeen square at Lansdowne

A beautiful new walnut bowl in progress: the ‘slow motion’ shot of the oil going into the wood grain is always lovely.

Not sure that anyone pays attention to what I have to say, but most of my social activity is over on Instagram now: but for anyone who *does* still follow: A lot of my focus right now is supporting Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada and their "light the night" fundraiser: lightthenight.ca/stories/joseph…

If you come to 613flea today here in Ottawa and purchase one of my beautiful wooden bowls: 100% of the purchase price goes to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada My thanks to Justin Trudeau for the very kind letter he and his team sent to my daughter in support of the fundraising effort.

This is a gold lantern: its from the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada #lightthenight fundraiser. It represents someone who is no longer with us due to Leukemia & Lymphoma. There were far too many Gold Lanterns Canadian War Museum in the light the night walk tonight. Donate ⁠secure.llscanada.org/site/TR?pg=tea…

Over on instagram, I posted a 'story' talking about my concerns about political leadership in Canada and how it impacts Canadian's medical care. If I trusted this platform more? I'd post the video here. Except: I don't trust this platform :( (I obviously understand the irony)

If a dad tweets into a void, does the chirp echo?
