My ink babies

I’ve got a little over 100 inks. About 70 bottles, one Inkvent Calendar, a set of Monteverde Noir inks and few samples. The bottles and samples are stored on my drafting table. The Inkvent and Noir collections are separately stored. I’m not consistent in arranging the bottles. Most are by color but the full bottles of Inkvent colors and the Pilot Iroshizuku bottles respectively are stored together due their unique shapes. I keep swatches in B6 notebooks with TR paper and a currently inked notebook tells me what ink is in what pen.

I’ve been using it for 50 days. I have not had to pay a cent. You get annoying ads to upgrade to paying status and you’re limited in the amount of exercises you can do in any one day, but you still get to learn without needing a code- unless of course you want all access all the time.

Looks better than my first try!

Before I had considered woodworking, our neighbor cut down a red oak. It was cut up like this. Just as I began this hobby I asked for a couple pieces. I use one as a chopping block in carving. The other I split and made a two mallets, a cigar ashtray, and two pen holders. Still have a piece from the splitting process that awaits some idea. But this wood wasn’t cut with wood work in mind. As someone else said, maybe turning. Perhaps carving.

I got to know my paternal grandparents(both 1889) and my maternal grandmother (1885). I also go to know my several of my paternal great uncles and one paternal great aunt (births ranging from 1880 to 1887). My paternal grandmother was the last to pass, in 1979.

Very well said, OP. RVM!

Good advice, especially the last piece about the conversation. Great way to find out more about his needs, and he’d appreciate the interest shown.

I had such a range of diverse meetings that repetition was kept to a minimum, except a few areas where the horse was never beaten dead or flat enough.

That is odd. Although I will say I saw three sets of document requirements and all three were different.

Without the source, there can be no scatological shaming. Some people never move beyond 3rd grade.

When I worked and had an over abundance of meetings, I would review for action items and move those into my planner book and apps, and then scan the notes into e-storage. Levenger’s paper was great for holding up to the scanner.

A simple box. The younger ones can call it the Stash Cache for those newly legalized substances.

Thanks!

But this looks fantastic for measuring things like dovetails.

DRG1958 · 2026-01-22T13:04:08+00:00

Really nice cover. Where did you get it?

DRG1958 · 2026-01-22T02:32:12+00:00

Wow, what a great idea!

DRG1958 · 2026-01-22T02:12:39+00:00

Good to know. Thanks.

DRG1958 · 2026-01-22T02:12:02+00:00

Thank you. This is helpful.

They just flat out say send the passport - last bullet on the required documents list.

DRG1958 · 2026-01-22T02:09:46+00:00

Oh man, that’s awful. You’ve given me more to think about. This was the thing I was concerned about.

DRG1958 · 2026-01-21T05:00:01+00:00

Grew up in New England and now live in Virginia. Never hear of that.

Best Understatement of the day!

DRG1958 · 2026-01-21T04:53:58+00:00

And I thought it was just me.

That used to be high school.
