ready as i'll ever be.

well, i guess i've finally finished this thing. overall i'm pretty happy, in the sense that i made something and it actually feels pretty solid. it is full of mistakes though, some obvious and a few you can't see. some of the joins dont fit quite right, a couple gaps here and there, and i totally butchered it in one area. however, i have learnt an unreal amount whilst making this, what i can do, what i can't, and what promise it shows to me of what i may be able to achieve in the future.


clearly, this stuff does not come naturally to me in anyway, at all. to be honest, at somepoints i was like "seriously why the fuck am i bothering this is gnarly. and i'm getting blood all over it." but i carried on regardless, not even forcing myself, so i guess i naturally wanted to do it. plus it was too wet to skate. i could sense i was getting marginally better though as it went on, so that was cool. plus there were a load of different processes involved in getting to the final piece from the scabby bits of wood tim gave me so it's hardly surprising i'm not great at any of them. it'd definately going to take a while.



even though i'm not 100% with it, i absolutely loved making it, and i am definately going to keep making crappy things until i make something decent. no idea what the next project is yet still.

anybody want a bench??
