WE sleep in a bit – then after breakfast I run some laser tests to check the new tube. The cutting isn’t working very well which is odd as I cleaned the mirrors and lens, checked the bed was laying flat, checked mirror alignment as well as swapping out the atet and replacing the laser tube.

Not much more I can do about it today so I finish off a custom leather AirTag holder ordered by an Etsy customer then set about breaking up some pallets that have been kicking around outside.

One of the pallets is particularly hard to break up, but after a good effort with a big chisel, hammer and punch bar I get through the lot. Then we chop it all up and chuck it in the woodshed. there’s still a pile of old decking and other crap to deal with. Not today tho’!

I need to start building some stock for a couple of Christmas events coming up soon. the laser is out of action for the time being so I concentrate on casting some jewellery and pins…and set ups. camera to start filming the production process so folks can see how I do it…and why the items ain’tcheap!

After dinner I get busy with an online and social media plan for my pal Kevin – he’s asked me for some help to promote his upcoming album.
