I had someone ask me if I could engrave a slab of teak to place on a grave. I was only to do the engraving part; the person would take care of painting and finishing it.
I had just enough courage to say that I could try my best but that I was still learning to use my longmill, so it would not be ready in a heartbeat. I got the job done, and the person was pretty happy with the result. (as was I.)
I’ve learned a ton doing this one simple carve, but the biggest lesson came when he came back and showed me the finished product. I was blown away by the transformation the dull piece of wood had undergone simply by applying a good swipe of laquer.
It prompted me to finally clean out the far corner of my office (formaly used as extra bedroom) and create a work station for painting purposes (and while I was at it, an electronics workstation).
