Blarg!

Destroyed two hours of work in five minutes with a band saw in class today. Am pissed I didn't see the issue beforehand (but at least Jim and I agreed it was needed).

Need to study more for GREs.

I have a splitting headache and am feeling quite out of it.

And would someone please explain why, in all hells, I've been sick more times this semester than at any point since I came out here?

Power tools?

Part of me wants to justify using power tools (1/2" industrial hand-drill + diamond-crusted metal saw = incomparable batch of awesome), but I know, deep down in my leatherworking heart, that Ianuk's got it right.

As for the illness, blame Fred.

It's the wooden part of a sculpture for class. Due on the 3rd. There was no way I was going to get the basic form done without them. That happened was that the wood wasn't doing what I wanted, and getting it that way with hand tools would have been a nightmare.

So five minutes on the band saw, followed by an hour and a half with a file yielded something usable.

Fred is innocent.
