<span style="font-size: large;">Can it be that March</span> starts next week? Is that right? I'm getting my March off to an amazing start as I will be vending my screen printed wares at an <a href="http://overlap.org/events" target="_blank">Overlap.org</a> event at <a href="http://publicsf.com/events/overlap-presents-christopher-willits-ghostly-international-6986" target="_blank">Public Works</a> next Thursday, March 1st. The mission of Overlap.org is to bring creativity and community together. That will certainly happen next Thursday as the evening kicks off with a presentation about the creative process from <a href="http://christopherwillits.com/" target="_blank">Christopher Willits</a>. There will live music, food and other vendors (including one of my personal favorites <a href="http://www.davemarcoullier.com/Site/home.html" target="_blank">Dave Marcoullier</a>). Tickets here: <a href="http://overlap030112.eventbrite.com/" target="_blank">http://overlap030112.eventbrite.com/</a></div>

Well, I got all modern on you with this one. I tried looking at old Valentine's Day cards to get some inspiration for a design but quickly realized that most vintage cards rely heavily on terrible puns and blatant racism/sexism. I was not inspired at all. In then end, I decided that I didn't want to smack you in the face with Valentine's Day but rather coax you in for a closer look. It's subtle enough to keep using all year long. At any rate, they are available on <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/91287745/hearts-red-on-white-flour-sack-dish" target="_blank">white</a> or <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/91288035/hearts-red-on-natural-flour-sack-dish" target="_blank">natural</a> towels.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We all wish we could</span> make amazing hand-made presents for our loved ones each year, don't we? But, please. Like we have that kind of time/ability. I ended up going with a cutting board for my wife. Yes, I have some woodworking abilities but there was no way I would have been able to craft a homemade cutting board for her during the busiest time of the year without her knowing. So, I picked up a sturdy wooden board from <a href="http://potandpantry.com/" target="_blank">Pot and Pantry</a> instead. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
It didn't occur to me to customize it until my wife mentioned she would like that. That reminded me of a party we had, years ago where a woman brought over some fruit and put together a fruit salad. It looked delicious but, as another party-goer remarked, "Is it just me or is there something <i>savory</i> about this fruit salad?" Sure enough, she had cut the fruit on an onion-y, garlic-y cutting board. It was gross and I had to choke the whole salad down because of good manners. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Lest the same fate befall me or my wife, I decided to take my wife's mention to heart. Originally, I thought I would go with the same ink I use on my dish towels but then I remembered I had some non-toxic gel stain from a different project lying around so I went with that instead. So far, it's held up to water well and I kept the screen, just in case. Below is the process I went through to get it made.</div>

Some are huge projects and some are little things that I've just been wanting to do. Some are things I've already committed to do, so that's kind of cheating but who cares? Last year was about staying the course but I think there will be more innovation and growth this year.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We've been slowly putting together</span> a dining set over at our house. A few months ago we found some chairs in need of some love on craigslist. A friend re-covered the worn out seats. In the meantime, we had scored a table from a store in Santa Cruz and our dining set was almost complete. Then, a day after our chairs came back re-covered, padded and looking great, one of the chairs snapped. I wasn't too surprised and I had already noticed that two of the chairs had already snapped in the same exact position. Luckily, I have the skills and tools to fix such a crack. </div>

You can see that I used enough glue by the way it's gushing out of the crack. Also, those little wooden blocks are to protect the surface of the chairs from getting marked up from the clamps. I also wrapped the wooden blocks in packing tape so they wouldn't stick to the glue. </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I've talked a bit about how I switched</span> my office job's old desk with a standing desk. I had hoped that <a href="http://theheatedcristina.blogspot.com/2011/08/stool-for-standing-desk.html">this stool</a> would allow me to rest my feet on the lower rung when I wasn't sitting on it but there wasn't enough room for my knees to fit underneath the seat. I remembered seeing a project via <a href="http://makezine.com/">Make</a> a while back for some low saw horses and I decided to just make one as a foot rail. This was my first attempt at doing joinery with hand tools only. I learned a lot and the project turned out just fine. Here's the tutorial from Make if you're interested: <a href="http://makeprojects.com/Project/Low-Horses/813/1">http://makeprojects.com/Project/Low-Horses/813/1</a></div>

We recently sold the hallway table and I realized that the crate didn't have to lay flat anymore. I used some copper wire wrapped around small nails to make sure the mail doesn't fall out. I ended up adding two more rows of wire after the initial two pictured below. I also gave it a good once-over with some sandpaper because you know I like it smooth.We've hung it up and it's been working perfectly for weeks now.</span><br />

<i>This post has more swears than usual. Please make a note of it. </i></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In an effort to continue to improve my woodworking skills</span>, I took a woodworking class at the Randall Museum this summer. I knew that I would be familiar with a lot of things we were going over but it has been a while since I'd been in a professional shop and wanted to gain some new skills.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Unfortunately, the class was a total failure. Our class had ten students in it and we were all trying to do the same operations at once so each operation involved waiting and waiting for the other students to finish. Often, other students asked to go ahead of me, "just real quick". I always said yes even though any woodworker with even the smallest amount of experience will tell you, nothing happens quickly in woodworking. The class was titled "Zen and Sawdust" so I tried to get my zen on by not getting all bent out of shape with people cutting ahead of me. This proved to be a mistake.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
This was also the first time I felt like some of my classmates were sexist.This never happened at the woodworking classes at City College. But at the Randall Museum, there was a moment, standing at the table saw, where two guys stood there and gave me instructions. I was shocked. Number one, the advice they were giving me was unnecessary (which I know because I've been using a table saw for two years. I didn't tell my classmates I had experience because I didn't want to sound boastful but TWO YEARS OF EXPERIENCE). Number two, as this was happening, I thought, "They would never do this if I were a guy." I mean, I don't have proof of this, or anything but it just felt like bullshit to be in a class where we should all assume everyone is at the same level and have some people assume they knew more because of their gender. I hate that shit.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
I'd also like to say that the safety training was extremely lacking. On the last night of class, I was giving two classmates instructions on how to use the table saw. My advice was to stay to the left of the blade and to not move your left hand at all. One of my classmates said, "I don't know. It seems like if it was going to kick-back, it will fling the board off to the left of the blade." I then watched him inch his left hand closer and closer, just begging the saw to take his fingers off. AND THIS WAS THE LAST NIGHT OF CLASS!!! There are now nine people who think they know how to use a table saw who actually have no idea. As a huge safety nerd, I find this completely unacceptable.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
So, fine. It was crowded, mildly sexist and not very safe. And yes, I missed one class. I asked if I could make up the class but was told not to worry about it because it would move faster if I was out of sync with the rest of the class. That turned out to not be the case ("just real quick") and when we got to the next to last class and my teacher said I might not have time to taper my table legs. So, I busted ass to get them ready to be tapered because that was literally the only operation in the class I hadn't done before and I wanted to learn SOMETHING. But the teacher didn't have time to help me so a classmate helped me taper the legs instead. This too proved to be a mistake.</div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> About halfway through the very last class, I realized that two of my legs were tapered incorrectly so my table wasn't even going to fit together. The teacher said he had some extra legs somewhere, then wandered off to help another classmate taper her legs correctly. I waited around for maybe ten minutes and talked to another classmate whose table was also not working out. Not only did was her table a complete failure because she also had to ask a classmate, rather than the teacher, for help, she had also noticed how bossy the males in the class were. In short, it was a complete waste of time and money. I didn't want a table. I wanted to know how to taper legs correctly. My only thought at that point was, "Fuck. This." I gathered up my stuff and walked the hell out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> So, if you're thinking of the Randall Museum for woodworking, perhaps consider City College first. It's free and superior in every way. You may have to be on a waiting list for a while, but it's so worth it. You can take the class four times too! For free! If I hadn't already taken it four times, I would be back there RIGHT NOW! "Furnituremaking and woodworking" is the name of the City College class and it's on the Evans campus. You can find it listed under "Construction"</span><br />

Like always, this comes on a flour sack dish towel, which in my mind is the only dish towel material worth having. It's my job to dry the dishes in our household so I actually know a thing or two about it. The flour sack is thin enough so that it actually absorbs the water and then it dries in a snap. Anyway, of course I'm biased. Allow me to introduce <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/80753336/the-heated-camper-on-white-dishtowel">"Camper"</a>.</div><br />

Our final was to take a still from a film noir and draw it in charcoal. My teacher was really impressed that I went to the library and found an actual book with pictures, rather than just finding one on the internet. Yeah, I'm teacher's pet and I don't care who knows it. I think I picked up a lot of valuable skills from that class that I've already been able to use for The Heated. <br />

The album will be called <i>The Projector</i> and these tickets will play a part. Notice how the outside ring of tickets are tan and the inside ring of tickets are blue. That's because the sun bleached the heck out of them. I thought I was buying tan tickets but blue is good too. </span><br />

They were kind enough to give me a little lovin' via <a href="http://www.missioncommunitymarket.org/">their site</a> today. Check it.</div><br />

I've been actively working on correcting my posture for years now and feel that this is a step in the right direction. Plus, my butt cheeks have left permanent indentations in my office chair and that's just wrong. I've changed my schedule at work so that I'm down to only four days a week so the timing seemed right.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> But just as sitting for nine hours a day can't be good for me, neither can standing, so I picked this up at a thrift store over the weekend. When I'm not sitting in it, it's under my desk so I can use the ring around the bottom as a foot rest. </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> The new set-up really blew my co-workers minds. One woman seemed almost upset at the idea. It's weird when people react so strongly to something that does not affect them at all. I've joked about putting up a sign that says, "Ask me about my standing desk" because nearly everyone wants to talk about it when they first see it. So, be prepared for that if you want to make the change.</div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> My feet have been fine. The only thing that's caused me some discomfort is the back of my calves where they hit the backs of my knees. Who knew that little muscle did so much for standing?</span><br />

I didn't end up taking too many pictures while we were there but I'm pretty excited to be able to blog more regularly. My old digital camera has been a real trooper but the batteries run out after about ten pictures and it's a total pain in my ass. Plus, Angry Birds.</div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Anyway, we stayed with our pals Natalie (who runs </span><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/missnatalie" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Miss Natalie</a><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">) and Ben (who runs </span><a href="http://www.saltandtime.com/" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Salt and Time</a><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">). A good time was had by all, despite the fact that is was over a hundred degrees every day we were there. It really made me appreciate the cool ocean breeze of San Francisco. </span><br />

I'm one of those curmudgeons who actually takes the time to write angry letter to my representatives so it shouldn't surprise you that I taped the broken cutter to a note explaining that it had broken and could they please send me a new one. <a href="http://www.speedballart.com/" target="_blank">Speedball</a> sent me a whole box of them, which proves to me that they have got their customer service department together. Thanks, <a href="http://www.speedballart.com/" target="_blank">Speedball</a>.</div><br />

It's one day of well-selected local designers selling rad stuff on the street behind <a href="http://www.theeparkside.com/">Thee Parkside</a> in Potrero Hill. I've met some really cool people from this event. Plus, it will give you an excuse to shop and listen to bands (or DJs if that's your thing) while drinking and eating good food. So, it has everything! Say hi if you come by.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.indie-mart.com/events/indie-mart-is-back-july-24th-12-7pm-thee-parkside-for-our-4th-anniversary/" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghBRY_zM2rtKznvcjuhDOqGfCvc8Ji5oDuluj_WWgsDZWmh0O3AXEM4XqyYM4-46gvzQ0zrXWM4Zj9Ld83EgUqzFgnApvK8zXojx6Fa8sPG8RuF1qPyF8Y3wXpSNwMdf2_nqfSumj4GRs/s1600/indie+mart+july+24+flyer.jpg" /></a></div>The Heatedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03291321595391107887noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7450587083692171403.post-61443448444303023482011-07-06T17:27:00.000-07:002011-07-06T17:27:43.271-07:00Renegade Prep<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Last night we assembled</span> a mock-up of our Renegade Booth (which will be booth #82, by the way) last night in our kitchen. Usually we merchandise while we're in the booth but this time, we actually planned where everything is going to go. It feels like we're getting it down. <a href="http://www.renegadecraft.com/san-francisco">Renegade</a> is this weekend (July 9th and 10th) so I should hope that we're at least somewhat prepared for it.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
