Moth found on Harry's tire.

Sometimes inspiration comes from strange places, like a bug on your boss’s tire.

Anyone reading this blog knows I have a preference for earthy colors and particularly love the patterns of moths. Tuesday when I arrived at work I saw a moth that had a particular color and pattern that I’ve not seen before. It was tan and green, with a transitional pattern that could work in a wooded area, or hay field. The colors were a good match for the business cards I just had printed so I thought it would be fun to try and build a WordPress theme around the colors.

My design skills are pretty week, so I’d love to hear your feedback.

I’m a big boy I can take it.

Here are a few shots of styles that did not make the cut.

60 lbs. of lead bars

Shipment of 60 lbs. of lead bars.

In woodworking when I need to apply weight over a larger area I commonly use lead weight to press materials being glued together. On a project I’m working on my stockpile of lead was insufficient to do the job so I contacted a lead casting buddy and asked if he had any surplus to sell. He offered up a lot of 180 pounds of the dull metal that had been cast with antimony [and therefore was not useful for his ultra hard cast product] at 30% over spot–which in such small amounts is a really good price. I took possession of the first shipment yesterday (about 60 lbs).

Another shipment arrived. Check out the pictures here:
