wow it's almost as if putting a handle on your hacksaw instead of gripping the fragile blade between your fingers makes it easier
#moth and compass real in 3d#[podcast voice] This Lighthouse Is Sponsored Once More By Granddad's Bighuge Solid Aluminum Knife Handle#also. my room is full of sawdust but that's the price we pay.

it's really good that I don't live in the times where you had to lick the ends of the radium paintbrushes or stir uranium glazes with your whole forearm because the thing is that I simply cannot stop putting the paintbrushes in my mouth

drinking air out the window in little sips instead of slonking down five-minute epoxy fumes. i'm so good at this.

the thing is that I will never be satisfied with the number of dollhouses I have. a dollhouse for every situation. when I die they will turn my house into a small museum and let the children come and look at my dollhouses.
#moth and compass real in 3d#current projects actually going are the lighthouse and a late victorian house (altho' we're still debating how to furnish the second one)#next up after those are a tearoom and a chandler's shop. and after that ideally an indoor/outdoor rotating room box of ardroy#which is going to have to be Biglarge on account of the scale of the existing dolls.#but also. medieval study with cat so I can use those fifteenth century chair patterns I found.#also my mother would like to make a post office and if so I would like to make it desk-suitable so I can attach a folder for my actual mail#and also a bookshelf room for jopson. and also now I want to do a roman house very badly.#and I have the clay bits done up already to make a laurence and temeraire. do they need a room to live in. what room would I make for them.#this begins to sound like a cry for help.

while the heat and brightness may be utterly incompatible with human life, it IS great for flash-drying all my painted dollhouse pieces in the great oven of the outdoors
#moth and compass real in 3d#I am PAINTING I am INHALING FUMES I am THINKING ABOUT THE PORTRAIT OF JOE BIDEN I WAS FORCED TO DRAW IN 2020#I did not Wish to draw joe biden but it was for School. you know what. college may suck but at least nobody makes me draw joe biden.#also. given that it's HOT and BRIGHT and DRY with a LIGHT BREEZE and some FOOL is lighting off FIREWORKS.#please. let this week end with people here largely safe with their homes intact. Please.

I can only assume that people who do more model-building than me can determine which is the 1/4" by 1/8" stripwood from the 1/2" by 3/32" stripwood on sight.
#moth and compass real in 3d#my ability to actually imagine inorganic and geometrical objects in my mind is not up to the level here

going to be quite real with you. I really don't want to paint 96 tiny tiny little dowels for this silly little lighthouse.

'wow this five minute epoxy is sticky,' he said, unaware of the fact that he was already several minutes into epoxying his fingers together.
#moth and compass real in 3d#fingers have been de-epoxified. beacon is reassembled and smells horrifyingly of chemical glue.
