He was only three when his mom died of unknown causes and the family suddenly had trouble making ends meet. With his dad running a Singer sewing machine shop in nearby Amritsar their aging …

My chisels have been living in a roll-up fabric pouch, which I have to unroll and place somewhere whenever I need a chisel. Not a very elegant solution, to be honest. Time for a chisel rack! I own a set of Ashley Iles butt chisels, some bench chisels MKII, some “firmer chisels”, and I own a few other chisels that I want to store in a proper, easy-to-reach way. They …

Photographer: Patti WeeksSummary Author: Patti Weeks Why does the center of a sunflower develop in such a fascinating way?

I don’t know much about them, but talking with ChatGPT is leading me to believe that elements of such a concept exist already in …

Three days in San Francisco to celebrate my birthday? Uh, huh! The City by the Bay… The Golden Gate City… and never, ever Frisco or San Fran. We’ve visited San Francisco innumerable times during our working years attending meetings, conferences and conventions and it was always one of our favorite cities. Our first non-business ‘dinner date’ was in San Francisco. We spent our honeymoon in San Francisco. We hadn’t been …

LOBSTER JOHNSON HELLBOY REACTION FIGURES (SUPER 7) Okay, who’s ready to punch some Nazis? Well, a good chunk of Golden Age comic heroes, for sure, and also some retroactive additions to that time period as well.
