Yep, The easiest way isn't the best way. The best way is the best way. Easy to pick the winning solution if you make the effort. Got the scars to show for it too. Guess trying to cross wildcats with bears wasn't the best of ideas . grin And of course we all know that the best payment isn't always in money.
always enjoyed building prototype tools/devices. Always trashed them with no concern if need be. Whatever it takes to get to a ergonomic end. First build is sacrificial lamb if need be. especially a device that gets used regularly. Tumblings not cheap nor easy to make. Tumbles not worth much monetarily. But loads of satisfaction and admiration. Hate to have to make a living selling tumbles... Pity the fool thinking they can get rich selling shiny stones. Better to be enjoyed with friends,. Such elegant beauty in a enduring stone. I get great satisfaction building things, a house, a bridge, a chicken coop. Just like the progress the changes daily and then pride in the finished product. Plants don't count just construction.

We must do the things we must
before the things we may.
we are unfit for any trust
until we can, and do obey.
Aye,aye, pull pull ahoy
But all work and no play
makes Jack a dull boy.
What more is there to say?

Nothing like a pile of materials cut and fastened together to a fine end. And similar, little seeds and propagules turning into a big beautiful plant. Amazes how a pot can weigh nil till that big plant fills it up. |

Go figure, the next 4 were 42 to 48 inch pits. Liking the trailer. 9 pits in 2 trips verses 9 pits in 5 trips to freight company. Trailer balances perfectly for ATV hookup. Must use jack to hang on truck. Can't win em all. Pits stay put at 65 MPH. Freight company impressed. I drop more freight at that dock than about any other private hauler. Always flirting with the army of secretaries. Absolutely the best freight company in both pricing and affability. Next step is to get a tag and install wireless running lights. Add a small storage box on tongue for chains and blocks.  |
