2/2/2014 2:49:37 PM: running an old idea through my head again.. in my younger days i made a complete manacle set for myself.  ankles, wrists, waist, collar.   all with rings for interlocking chans.  ive always pondered making another complete set for a woman.  some possible things...  one of my original creations were copper hemmed over stainless steel covered with an acrylic coating.    truly amazing piece of work i never really duplicated.  i still have like 30 pre made stripes of this in basement that i could roll.. would have to be for the right woman since copper doesn't work with every type of person.  i was given almost 15 pounds of heavy gauge silver.  some i rolled 'used originally to make belt buckles' not sure how i would work this into a design unless i found silver hinges to weld onto it.  my regular stainless.   the hardest to work with of course, and it has to be measured to the person...   ive found the 2' width doesn't work as a generic measurement.  3/8' stainless steel  i thing id have to reconfigure the hinge material since i normally used brass micro chain mail.  would hold up on wrists and ankles but would look great ornamental.     i think if i did a woman's set id want to do upper arms as well.  just idle ideas running through my head.

11/28/2013 6:27:38 AM: finished repairing the surfski, and what do i do.. bring down a recumbent bike someone needs reapaired..   ill never learn..   i noticed i have an xframe sitting up on a shelf in workshop.  something i made long time ago. either im gonna have to find someone to give it to or spend some time taking all the eyerings off it, since its not something you want to put out on the curb...

11/16/2013 1:48:42 PM: no matter how many times i go into work shop i cant haul enough stuff out of it.. i pulled out 2 more businesses i had..  polar fleece tug toys, and dog bisket supplies,  only to yank down a surfski to repair that was given to me for my kayaking group.   im still wondering when ill get around to cleaning out my collar supplies.   i never know when someone wants to learn how to make a collar or wishes to make thier own.

1/12/2013 6:00:47 PM: ok ive gotten rid of my vampire glove hardware, my spare t shirts, my excersize bike, and the slot machine is on the porch awaiting pick up.  still to much stuff in workshop. 2 embroidery machines a dozen body bags, and a host of other business related stuff. geeze its crowded down there.

12/20/2012 2:39:45 PM: decisions decisions.... do i wanna go in the basement again to find more stuff to get rid of?  i did it last week and ended up taking up entire day driving around nj giving it away.
