This is popping-up repeatedly for me today, and a total pain when trying to type. I am registered (obviously) and logged in, so it makes no sense.

CC has a long list of data trackers, so I don't want to give them a free reign. I have been continually logged-in for a while - well, several months really. I think I might try a fresh login. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could switch it off for the site, except CC are loaded with trackers. I am just starting to get used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh, I have had similar issue when I used Norton's, change to a different Web Security program for a while, but it too wanted to overly control what I did, eventually started using CCleaner free version, run it daily, it removes all the trackers, that you don't have in its approved cookie list. Seems to work don't get many spams etc since using it. Still use a Web Security but soften up on its cookie tracking.

But don't ask me to free hand draw something or paint, I'm completely inept at them. And in the interest every ones ears, for goodness sake don't ask me to do anything musical.🤣 I leave that to my wife who excels at both. We all have our talents, some are good at one thing others at another. My main talent seems to be in getting into trouble.😱 However with wood I seem to have small gift, see some below. Oh I love your beautiful woodwork. I bought a parquetry kitchen stool at Yandina Markets, which I use as a table beside my squatter's chair. My house is full of wooden bowls, stirrers, etc.,made from beautiful wood, which I can't resist buying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy making parquetry objects, from the smaller pieces like the 160mm dia. trivit I made my daughter Rebekah, and the Tray & charcuterie board set I made Hil. See below: All made from old pallet wood. Edited February 15 by Ozwoody 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wellll, mostly one at a time, as some like the trivit may look straight forward, but there are a lot of little fiddly bits. However I have got myself in a little pickle at the moment as I have started on three projects, it was supposed to be only two. BUT, I have taken an interest in a Japanese art called kumiko, and suddenly found myself well in over my head. not only do you have to make the art, but all the tools to make it with.😬 See examples below I am have been inspired by, so far I have only cut some strips, and made some special jig type tools. I'm currently working on something like the bottom one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I see true artisans work, I think how amazing it is, and I strive to be better, which of course is exactly how life should be.😉 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Mareblu Posted February 16 #171 Share Posted February 16 Seriously, this is exquisite craftsmanship. My father-in-law was a master carpenter joiner, who actually paid to study under a maestro in Northern Italy. That was in the first half of last century (feeling old writing this). He produced the most amazing furniture and intricate cupboards. A clever, mathematical mindset is a requisite gift for such work. Congratulations to both you (and St. Hilary😇).
