Sawdust Samwich

I tried to take some photos of the dust that gets generated from the sculpting process. Even though I’m nearer to the end, I’m still taking out a shopping bag of dust almost every night. These aren’t real bad scenes overall. When it gets bad, you don’t tend to want to stop and get the camera and take any photos. There have been one or two times when I’ve thought that I should take a photo because no one would believe it.

My favorite die grinder died yesterday. A Milwaukee, 1/4 inch, 4.5 amp job. The first big purchase I made back in 1992 or so do these large figures. I’ve changed the brushed numerous times and even sent it back to have the bearings repacked. I won’t send it out this time even though it cost over $300.00. The reason? The die grinder to the left with the orange handle is a cheap made-in-China job that goes for $50.00 and if it ever dies, I will toss it and buy a new one. Tools that I only dreamed of in the 1990’s are now so cheap they are virtually disposable. And that’s because of all those inefficient, polluting manufacturing plants over there in China that are not going to stop belching their carbon gases no matter what silly laws Arnold passes in California to hoodwink gullible and mis-informed taxpayers about the cause and solution to the current warming trend that’s in all the papers.

That’s why I was surprised one day when she KNEW that I had eaten critter crunch cake sprinkles with my coffee for breakfast (I didn’t have time for anything else and we didn’t have a lot of options).

To which she led me to the coffee pot where we saw this:
