Been a rather busy and tense few months since "the Meister" decided to retire from his "day-job" at a large library effective 31 January 2025! In addition to working out the finances, thinking about how he is going to spend his time, and the holidays, it's been a bit bit anxious for me ... What will happen with me when he can [re]focus his energies on his books and related interests. I've seen him start organizing his bench, bring home what little "papers" he still had at work, and start going through what he has here.
So, time to channel some of that nervous energy into various projects like building myself a "me-sized" workbench, some tools and presses I can use, and some accessories to make it feel like a place I want to work. Also made some sheaths for my paring knives. Those Peachey knives are the best and need to be treated with care. It's also been fun to see @bookbinderbarbie is back too! The more of "us", the merrier.

What kinds of projects would you like to see me share?
Thank you
