Happy Holidays All!

 

I bought a new place this spring!  The workshop is not completely set up, but I've churning out a few pieces here and there.

 

It seems my publication schedule was too aggressive given the move.  Once the holidays are done, I'll be focused on getting some woodcarving guides out the door.

Posted via LiveJournal app for Android.

I have two titles ready to go, the Jobin translation on proportions and a holiday scene in relief.

This week I will work on sketches for the third title. With a bit of effort I should be able to get the photos and project done this weekend and write it next week.

Once the three titles are all ready I will launch them simultaneously.

Your feedback and suggestions for future projects are always welcome.

I have got a solid template to use and have successfully converted my translation of Louis Jobin's "Canons de Proportion". I have got another article ready for conversion and am looking forward to producing brand new content later in the week. With luck I should have several items published by the end of the month.

I've been working on a template that is nearing completion. I've successfully converted it to the kindle format, but there are some nitpicky things I want to fix.
I also located two articles I will be using as my first two books. One is a Christmas pattern and the other is information about Louis Jobin and translations of his Canons de Proportion.

I have decided to start publishing my backlog of articles and projects directly though Amazon.
The goal is to publish a number of original project articles priced at 99 cents.

More involved projects might be higher, but the goal is to keep everything below $5.

The total number of published projects will depend on sales and feedback.

With luck, the first projects should be up this month. I look forward to your suggestions!

Inspired by the Drona Parva of the Mahabharata and the story of the elephant Ashwatthama.
