I create the designs in a professional engineering, 3DCAD software program. Then I create the patterns and turn them into cutting files. I cut them on a professional quality digital die cutting machine. All the work is done by myself, I have no employees and everything I make is my own original work.

Rather than getting better organised I seem to move tools and materials from box to another, usually bigger, box and am not gaining anything as I still need to label everything and am forever searching for stuff I know I have! I wish I could be as minimalist as you are!<br /><br />IdskeIdskesminishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00096142682173969377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6445525077694788224.post-24730305211983816872023-04-21T17:44:18.518-07:002023-04-21T17:44:18.518-07:00Karin, Hi!

But some health issues with my vision and a few other health incidents kept delaying my departure as well as getting the renovation finished. Quite a lot of people do choose to spend their retirement years traveling in RVs of various types.

This ty...tumbling would not work to age the bricks. This type of clay is primarily made of paper. There would not be enough abrasive action. The second reason it would not work is the material is very light in weight so there would be no grinding action, they would just bounce off. The third reason is they are too fragile to take the many hours of tumbling that RL cement stones go through.<br /><br />Rounding over of edges is only one aspect of what happens to bricks as they age. However having the edges uniformly rounded over is not what RL aging of bricks actually looks like. Without having some areas of crisp sharp edges they would not look real. One of the major flaws people who artificially age objects make is thinking that every edge gets rounded under all circumstances. When in actuality aging is an ongoing process and in a material such as brick and stone there is also flaking and spalling going on from issues such as freeze and thaw cycles in addition to rain, wind or people walking on surfaces which leads to the rounding of the edges.<br /><br />Aging is a subject which takes some in depth investigation into the physics of the RL processes nature and mankind puts materials through.Karin Corbinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14558132883050492387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6445525077694788224.post-60713304655272052492016-01-05T15:02:15.058-08:002016-01-05T15:02:15.058-08:00Les chats adorent quand nous bricolons, mais ils n...Les chats adorent quand nous bricolons, mais ils ne sont pas les stagiaires les plus efficaces.
