The box for our Lost Cities card game (two-person version) is long lost. This week I made a leather card case to replace the missing box. And, yes, the ‘E’ is backward. It gives it ‘character’

This week I made a set of stacking trays (boxes?) for organizing ongoing project parts. The idea is to stash in use (but not necessarily done with right now) parts, tools, etc. in something that keeps them from getting lost or mixed with other sets of ongoing projects do-dads. The trays stack and have a top—everything closes up and looks nice.
The boxes went together pretty well. I used a jig to drill the holes for the dowels that reinforce the corner mitre joints (the ovals). The jig was a bit of a learning experience…and some of the dowels look better than others.
I still need to figure out a way to secure the trays together when transporting or moving them. I considered using magnets, but thought it might get in the way if using with metal parts.

The trellis on our front gate was coming apart. I think the trellis was originally intended to keep the deer out of the front yard, but the deer just go around anyway. So, I re-assembled the remnants of the trellis in a spiral. My favorite part is the shadow the swirly gates cast in the late afternoon (picture below).

I have been using a large handled knife that belonged to my great grandfather quite a bit in the workshop. The large handle makes the knife super comfortable to use. I made a simple leather sheath for the knife.

A photo of a hastily etched (by someone) rusty smiley face in Fort Worden State Park. I really like the dueling textures a and the angle of the sun on the face.

I made a little laptop stand/table to enable a laptop to function better as a second monitor and raise the camera (in said laptop) to a better angle. The stand was 90% complete in one week, but somehow tweaking with the thing and adding the shelf above the drawer took up a second week. So, this time, I present Kevin’s Art Project of Two Weeks (KAPOTW)….

I ‘enhanced’ a recent photo of a series of circles/windows in a concrete structure with some digitally-painted additional color and texture elements. The biggest change was increasing the size of the second (smaller) circle/window and fixing its dynamic range.
The ‘enhanced’ version
