Yes, oh, I'm sorry dear voiceactor. I know, maybe the creator is deaf.

Also love the juxtaposition of the archery and wood topics with the baking and handcrafting posts. Maybe I'll try to get some pics of my loom and spinning wheel to post. Sort of on hiatus right now, though.

I love the posts about identifying and working with wood. My father taught me a little but I haven't had the opportunity to do anything myself - mostly buy him fine woodworking books and enjoy what he makes.

Please do this. I would love to Be. Impressed.

Are you being serious, do you know the person who made the video? I know you're tied in to the deaf community... Sorry if I offended.

A birthday cake, d'uh.

RE V's link

Lajos Kassai is my hero. I'd love to move to Hungary and live there and study. I think I posted a link of him in super slow motion.

The red headed Russian gal is equally astounding. I showed her video to the older home school girls who were taking a bow making class with me.

shit. I spoke very poorly, ambiguously. I'm sorry. I meant, "Yeah, I know! Computer voice?! What a dumb choice."

then, a separate thought, but mashedrightthehellinthere

"Wait, maaaaybe the video poster was deaf, and used the computer text to speech to narrate his video."

really poor articulation of my thoughts. No offense meant, none taken, but I'm a little embarrassed by my poor communication.

It's not impressive, not a floor loom - that's for my fantasy future house, in front of the window. That energy-efficient small maybe log house with a woodstove that I have in my mind's eye. Anyway - for now my favorite thing is weaving blankets, and on my current loom they're lap blankets/sofa throws. I'd like to get into bigger stuff. Placemats etc. bore me to tears.

So, it may not Be. Impressive. But I'll try, after this week or two go by.

I share a similar dream of living off grid in a beautiful mountain valley. It would be a small ranch, self-sustainable. Oh to be able to sit on the porch and smoke a fine cigar while I feed the deer and elk

We wish you a Merry Christmas

and so on.

Lovely! Wish I could listen ... haven't heard In the Bleak Midwinter in ages.
Don't forget the mulled wine/wassail/glog!

Just click on the links, or are you reading this on your iphone while you are at a concert or something?

orthodoc · 12-22-2012, 04:12 PM

No such luck ... lying around drifting in and out of naps and not firing on all cylinders, is all ...

Sounds beautiful, Limey!

footfootfoot · 12-22-2012, 04:15 PM

Naps are the best, I love that feeling of drifting in and out of dreams and sleep.
