Things I have made, and also things I started to make but gave up on, as well as ideas of things I plan to make, and some things I wish other people with more skill would make for me.

The Perfect Circle
I have discovered, to my relief, that I am not insane, as I have been unable to cut a perfect circle out of MDF using a jigsaw. According to Mollusk, only people who are clinically insane can do such a thing.
I am studying to be a primary school teacher, and work part-time in a call centre. During one call with a very old man, I was surprised to discover that my name was not what I thought it was.
"Good afternoon, you're speaking with Lachlann."
"What? What? Who is it?"
"My name s Lachlann."
"What? Lankwood? Speak up, boy."
"No sir, Lachlann. My name is Lachlann."
"Lankwood? Strange name. spell it, spell it phonetically."
"...uh, Lemur, Alpha, Charlie - "
"No, no Lankwood, Charlie doesn't stand for N!"
And so Lankwood it is.
you CAN, however, use a jeweller's saw...and attain the perfect circle. perfection? meh.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if anyone would view my imperfect MDF circles as potential jewelery. I've made a couple now, and they need to be used for something.
