Updates

I have a daily habit of working on side projects, and I've come to appreciate the benefits of tracking that habit out in the open. If I'm doing work on a software project, I track that on GitHub. If it's more hands-on, I like to post an update here.

  1. Notebook #6, without a cover, one side finished.

    Finally found some time to continue working on notebook #6. Spent a lot of time sanding it. One side finished, another started. Still lots of sanding to do.

  2. Notebook #6, in the book press, mull and bookmark glued on.

    More progress on notebook #6 last weekend: Mull is on. Bookmark is on.

    The next step on notebook #6 is completed: text block is sewn.

  4. The inside of my printer enclosure, a small self-activating fire extinguisher glued to the roof.

    Better safe than sorry: I just installed a self-activating fire extinguisher into my printer enclosure. In case of fire, this thing is supposed to saturate the enclosure with some type of gas that quenches the fire immediately.

  5. A stack of signatures.

    Started working on notebook #6. Signatures are done. Next step is sewing them into a text block.

    This will most likely be the last notebook I work on. It was a nice hobby, but I want to focus on other things now.
