Gearing up for the next step of the iron gall ink. I picked up some iron sulfate and now have to psych myself up to strain out that moldy mess of gall goo.
In the meantime it's back to the studio. Spent a good day cleaning and organizing it. Now it's on to new projects. The first is pictured below. Any ideas what this is? It'll become apparent soon enough. Spent the past two days building this thing. It was truly a headache, what with my lack of proper tools and all the time spent dealing with clueless people who work at hardware stores and yet know nothing about tools or construction. grrrr... But I finally got this thing built. I even managed to bend that 5/8" thick threaded rod with the help of some length of pipe.
