I need to start making some things to sell so that I can support my armour upgrade. I am considering benches and chairs in different woods with the lowest price being in pine and the highest being oak. I can do some pretty spiffy benches with scrollwork using the scrollsaw and give it a bit of character afterward with chisels. I think this might be a neat way to create a savings account to fund an armoury and get started doing some metalworking.
I need to get a higher amperage run out to the garage and I need to start situationg the ceiling so I can hang more lights. I want to eventually get it to a point where I can work out there in the winter time and not be freezing my ass off all the time. I want to slowly start insulating and sealing that bitch up so the wind does not cut right through it. I think I can make do with my current garage for another 5-10 years if I stop the bleeding now so to speak. I can slowly do what needs to be done and replace what needs to be replaced without having to build a brand new garage.
The armoury plans look better and better. I think after Valor and stuff I am going to ask to step down as Caltrop and just concentrate on having fun and working on metalwork and woodworking. I no longer see a need to do this stuff, I can help out without being an officer and I don’t need to be wrapped up in the high school politics anymore. I just want to enjoy myself and learn to fight in period armour that I made.
This whole Ren Faire thing is getting on my damn nerves, I would not have a problem with it if people were not badgering me about shit that has little to no bearing on anything. I finally got fed up last night and told Melisende to send me a list of what she wants done and I would make sure it gets done.
Anyway, got a lot of plans for the next few years and I want to seperate more from the Barony and just do what I enjoy doing. I don’t have to be in the spotlight to have a good time.
