Properly Named

This proves that I named by blog properly.

I just had lunch with my father. During the course of conversation while we were waiting for our food, I mentioned that I am excited about finally building my foundry. For those who do not know, this is an apparatus that will allow me to melt metal, then pour the molten metal into a mold. The possibilities are endless. Anyway, I shared my excitement about this pending project with him and he replied "So if you build this foundry, what exactly are you going to do with it?"

I mentioned that I had named by blog the very same thing and we both laughed. However, I am still going to build the damn thing. And what am I going to build? Whatever tickles my fancy. I might make a clock, or door knobs, or drawer pulls... like I said, the possibilities are endless.

Besides, with the acquisition of a cement mixer and this foundry, there will nothing that I can not build.

Now all I need is a few minutes in the garage!

No, they will look at what you have built and ask "what are you going to do with that?"

They will look at it in awe. They will wonder how much time and expertise went into such a masterpiece. They will marvel at the intricate detail. And they ask... "What the heck is it?" Just kidding. Good luck Jake.

They will wonder if your building it is what's keeping you from posting to your blog...
