interesting.. though for our 20th wedding anniversary, I created a photo book for the wife called "just for you" which has about 40 black and white photos I've taken over the years.. Believe I got shutterfly to do this photo book for me.
I made this crossmember for installing a T56 in my 64 Comet as well as the stand behind it to hold the transmission upright while installing it.
Knife #4. Since we chop a lot of vegetables, this was an attractive next project. It's basically a Japanese Nakiri ("vegetable cutter") but strays from convention with a C-profile for better food release*. The "freckles" near the handle hole are from impacts by a carbide ball peen hammer, necessary to straighten the blank after heat treat. Handle material will be desert ironwood.
*The concave surface is only on the right-hand side of the blade and is intended for a right-handed person.
I've got a Nakiri, it very quickly became my favorite knife. Nice!
I had to have a tree taken down, it was very sad as it was one of the defining trees of the front tree line. But it was dangeous and had been butchered by the power company over the years. I had the tree service leave a few feet of the stump and finally got around to executing my plans for it. In the daytime:

It's not perfect, but I'm happy with it. The realities of mounting something you want to appear flat onto a round and very lumpy tapered cylinder became apparent once I started working on it. Some of the numbers are not quite on the same plane but it looks decent enough. The lighting is good but I would like the last 0 to be a little better lit. I'm trying to stick with "good enough," though.
