March

March 26, 2017

The Illuminations project in progress. On the wall is the working mock-up. On the table are a little over 30 polished alabaster panels cut from large alabaster slabs. I spent about two months scraping currency to get the collected dust in the tubes and bags on the table. I'm almost set up to begin inking the panels. Each panel is also treated with a solution of 5% Paraloid B-72 and ...

Pre-Amp Circuit Board

September 25, 2016

A Pre-Amp tube kit that I've had on the backburner for years. This came from Australia. The tubes are very old from the mid 1980's. A practice piece and a nice Sunday project to get up on the learning curve for my EleKit Amp and Preamp upcoming. I've learned to read resistor, capacitor and transistor values. The component design and why it works is fascinating. Am wanting to introduce an ...

The sawdust will conform to the uneven surface on the newly re-sawn alabaster to prevent cracking and breaking during the pressure from my sanding and ...

Flat File

September 09, 2016

I started this 8 drawer flat file about 2 years ago. Paper storage was the main reason I began to build it but the new DHR commission is the reason for it's completion. It measures 42" x 52" x 29" and is big enough and stout enough to hold the slim alabaster panels that I will create over the next two years. I built it upside down without a plan but enjoyed making it up and problem solving as I ...
