If you research the internet, you’ll find all kinds of self-help and support information to keep you going. You can sift through anything from investment advice in the stock market to how to survive the coming collapse of civilization as we know it. Most of them (give or take a few fruit loops) contain some [...]

If you had told me as a kid what I’d be doing as a man, I’d have looked at you and laughed. Dealing with stone, well, that’s manly, but I never imagined myself saying words like ‘twitter’, ‘facebook’, ‘xml’, or ‘open source’. Now, here I am, going blind trying to stare at a screen and [...]

Designing in stone is an interesting process that takes concentration and a focus on what is functional and beautiful. In designing my stone table, I wanted a design that was simple, elegant, and yet uniquely functional. The pieces of the table easily disassemble and the table can be used indoors or outdoors. The beauty of [...]

As I tilled my garden with hand tools only today, I stared around me at the most beautiful October sky and wondered how it is we all forgot the most basic of joys. Working with your hands gives you a feeling that nothing else can offer, a sense of passion that’s hard to describe. When [...]
