Monday Moanin'

Still bitter cold here and the wind isn't making things any easier! Got home and changed into my pipe carving clothes (I'm using the same workout clothes and my #1 Dad cookout apron to keep the sawdust down). Worked for about an hour, but ran into a problem.

I want to rough up the top of the pipe and there are three ways to do that: a drum for polishing stones, but you put screws and staple and nails in it; sandblasting or a wire brush wheel on a drill motor. The first two I don't have, and the wire brush idea probably works well on hardwood, but not so good on the soft pine. It more or less just erased the wood, not roughed it up! I gotta think about this one...

Dinner was leftover bean soup I'd thawed the night before. Watched some TV and went to bed.
