Genuine Plumb Carpenter's hatchet and shipping crate

The carpenter's hatchet continues to be my favorite "all season" sort of a tool

and

this Genuine Plumb is an excellent example of a striker that will serve the new owner amazingly.

Just as a reminder, not all hatchets are made to hit with the poll. The carpenter's hatchet on the other hand is just begging to dish out some beatings (from the cutting edge and the hammering poll). This striker can play any role: from a diverse camping tool - to a truck tool - to a fine woodworking bench companion.

Genuine Plumb carpenter's hatchet and leather sheath ready for the new owner

To protect both the owner and the tool, I included a hand stitched my typical axe/hatchet sheath. I recommend keeping the sheath on when just using the hammer pole of the hatchet. After all, the swinger will be raising a blade toward themselves in every swing of the hammer side. If i had my own way I would put a sheath on everyone's bladed tool. 

Framed for viewing, the Genuine Plumb stamp.

Getting readjusted with a new endeavor (adult coloring postcards) and an additional website

Sorry for the delay in posting 

but

I have been working on my newest endeavor of amalgamating meaningful correspondence and design work.

I am currently working on a Squarespace site. I have been desperately needing to have a place to better showcase a few of my ETSY ventures and add a couple more of my favorite subjects for some flair. There is no denying the refinement that comes with this upgrade. Currently, I am planning to focus on Advanced Card Making (my newest venture), Tool Restoration and then eventually more of my Extreme Croquet Mallets.

For some flair I am adding my Chronodex endeavors, themes around my personal desk and my appreciations for the sky.

I invite all to join me in this site: nobleignitus.squarespace.com

As of now, I do plan to keep this blog running on my original purpose for my sons to see what nonsense I am up to.

My adult coloring 4"x6" postcards with a built in message/photo pocket will be another post but since I have just posted them to my ETSY shop I would like to give a quick visual share:

on the 4th of July, i managed to blink away 20% of my right eyes cornea (recurrent cornea erosion). of course my right is my good eye. left always was crap. so very glad that all is healed and with glasses all is clear again.

water plains: coppers vs steel fleet

We have established the beginnings of two forces:

the steel fleet 

and

the coppers.

the youngest help set rivets and prepare the boats.

water plain attack: steel fleet coming in from open waters

 the copper already had a great patina on them. being exposed to the element should make for some excellent texturing!

water plain defend: the coppers are ready to repel

the steel fleet comes in from open waters to attach in the coppers waters.
