Nikon D90 Test Footage and Editing Experimenting

2011-09-05T12:45:00.001-07:00

Put this together testing out my camera. I've had it for a while, but mainly for shooting photos. Been watching those short films on youtube and wanted to start doing some more filming with the D90 to see what it can do. I think this is all gonna build up to something cool but who knows, I'll just have to see. So here's some specs for those who are curious.......

Nikon D90-Tripod and Handheld

Lens-50mm/1.8 & 85mm/1.8

Sony Vegas 9 Movie Studio to edit-Color correction, curves, contrast, and a couple other settings to see what happened.

Music-www.freeplaymusic.com Royalty Free and Free to Download!
It turned out pretty good, there's a little ghosting affect going on on the fast moving shots, i think this is the 24fps. So that will need a little more looking into. But for now I'm pleased with it.

Ok, Here's the Vid. I just did a sample Promo Vid for battlegroundbmx.com

The start of a bigger idea, you should try it.

Forgot my blog!

2011-06-11T09:23:00.000-07:00

Hi everybody (all 3 of ya),

I've been meaning to get something on the blog, other than my recent entry, I just found out that I and a group of artists got a show excepted for 2012, more details on that later. Other than that I've been camping, canoeing, fishing, building, scheming, making a website, painting, laying around, riding bikes, working, making money, spending money, fixing motorcycles, cooking over fires, thinking, learning new stuff, forgetting old stuff and so on. Nothing too major to report, I hope that's not a bad thing. Well I hope that all that read this are doing well, and If your my friend, I hope to see you soon.

I GOT IN!!

2011-05-08T08:10:00.000-07:00

Recently heard back from the Center of Furniture Craftsmanship, my piece, "Consciousness," got into their upcoming exhibition, Regeneration: Fine Woodworkers Under 30. I think that it is going to be a great show and wish it wasn't alllllllllll the way in Rockport, Maine, so I could check it out. When it comes to sponsors, this show is stacked, they have a bunch of big names supporting the show. Each exhibitor gets a package of clamps, a router, sharpening stone and a more. And for the winners of the different categories, they will receive either a festool package or a powermatic or Jet floor machine. So thanks to the sponsors for their support to the furniture world. Check out the link for more details and a list plus pics of the exhibitors.

Motorcycle Work.

2011-03-21T17:19:00.000-07:00

Last year I bought an old motorcycle, an 1972 cb500. It was a piece of crap, and still is I guess but it's improving. I am doing a lot of custom stuff and I thought this was a cool process. I melted aluminum cans in a cast iron pan with some coal and cast it into a can buried in sand.I then turned it into this part that goes on the upper fork tube and holds up the shock boot. It was the lowest tech easiest way I could think to do it without having someone make it. I am going to put set screws around the bottom of it under the boot to hold it in place. It was cool, now I need to make another one.

If you want to see more of the build check it out: HERE!

Cool art book coming soon!

2011-03-03T22:11:00.000-08:00

I while back i got an envelope in the mail, I opened it up to find that Michael Hosaluk had sent me a 6 x 9 inch piece of paper and a sheet with some instructions. The whole idea is celebration of the international day of the chair. The instructions said to tell the story of a chair in any way you want, draw, paint, write, collage, etc., etc. These were sent to chair makers and friends of Michael's all over the world. They are going to be put together into a book once they are all done. Well, I also paint in watercolor so that's what I did and I went with the same theme as the rest of my recent work. I titled it Aspiration.

New Class on Craftedu.com!!!!!!!!!!

2011-02-24T11:26:00.000-08:00

I just got my new class up on Craftedu.com, I'm showing how to make a small wall mounted shelf. It is a simple project that introduces several powertools to the woodworker looking to up there skills. I focus on showing how to achieve the same results with multiple different tools.

My class plus many more are available at craftedu.com!

University of New Hampshire Woodshop Part 2

2011-02-19T16:28:00.001-08:00

As a follow up to my post about my visit to UNH, I thought I would show some shots of the shop. As you can see it is fully equiped and very spacious, they have multiples of most every tool and plenty of room to spread out and work. This is a great program to take classes in without investing to much. The shop has all the tools and supplies nessasary to complete most any project. Bins of nails, screws and other fasteners! Tons of clamps, glue, handtools and more. Once you've made a lap through the shop you might think that is where the it ends, but there's more. A spiral staircase leads down to a room full of woodworkers benches and a room with a spray booth. Projects can be taken up and down by way of a freight elevator! The shop is led by Leah Woods with instructional support from Nathan Hansen. If you are located in the New England area and looking for a school to learn woodworking you should have a look.

Visit to University of New Hampshire Part 1

2011-02-12T17:35:00.000-08:00

My trip to Martha's Vineyard put me in a part of our country that I have not
yet been. While in the area I went to visit friends in Northern Massachusetts,
one of them being Nathan Hansen. Nathan and I went to Virginia Commonwealth
University where he earned his MFA in Crafts and Material Studies. His focus
was woodworking making kinetic sculptures. His sculptures raise questions about
the value of physical activity through mechanisms that require a specific
amount of interaction from the view/user. His pieces have familiar visual
references of machines from our past and present. Nathan works as the
Instructional Support and Wood Shop Technician at the University of New
Hampshire. This position at UNH is more than just good experience as a job.
One of the perks of his job is being able to use the wood shop whenever he
wants to work on his pieces in addition to learning from the artists around
him. The second day I was visiting, I went to work with Nathan to have a
look at the shop and the piece that he is currently working on. During the
day I met some of the students and teachers. I ended up being asked to come
back to show images of my work and talk about my trip to Martha's Vineyard
to the Beginning and Advanced woodworking classes. It turned out very nice.
After showing my work, I made the rounds talking to students about their
projects that are due soon. It was nice to be back in a community of
artists, at least for the short time I was there.

Below is a sample of some of Nathan's Work.

Gannon and Benjamin Post 2

2011-02-09T06:24:00.000-08:00

I got to Gannon and Benjamin a day or two before New Years Eve, two years after I planned the trip. It was part of a Windgate Fellowship that I received in 2009 at the time I graduated from VCU. My reason for choosing G&B was not because I wanted to make boats but a general interest in the techniques and forms. In a lot of cases, woodworking is woodworking, whether or not it's building furniture or building a house. With boat building it is an entirely different set of skills and language involved. This is one of the aspects that I was so interested in. Another is the natural shapes that occurs in order to satisfy the functional needs. Each step of the boat making process offers a different skill and a different visual to add to my source of imagery that I pull from. Here are a few images from the shop.

One of my projects.

2011-01-31T12:30:00.000-08:00

I have been going to the thrift store here in Vineyard Haven, I call it the Chicken Coop. I found several bundles of wool clothing that had been disasembled, cut up and some even dyed over the exsisting patterns. I bought them and decided to make a quilt out of the pieces. In my 2nd year at VCU, I was in a class called intro to crafts. One of the classes we were shown a film on the quilts of Gee's Bend. Since then I've wanted to make a quilt with them in mind, so here it is. It's a combination of machine and hand stitching. The whole thing only cost about $5 to make and I still have enough material to make another, or somthing. This is aphoto of me stiching on the binding, its a cell phone photo. Shot of finished quilt coming soon.

Gannon & Benjamin Week 1-2

2011-01-17T15:11:00.000-08:00

I've been in Marthas Vineyard for a little over two weeks now. This trip is a part of my proposal for a Windgate Fellowship that I recieved in 2009, I have come to work with traditional wooden boat builders Gannnon & Benjamin. With minimal tools and a heap of skill and craftsmanship they make some of the best wooden boats in the country. I wanted to come work by there side to better understand how the complex hull shapes are made. So far the experience has been very educational and enjoyable.

My first week here I did not work at the boatyard, instead I explored the island to familiarize myself with the area. The island is about 10 by 25 miles so it doesnt take too long to figure out your way around but it is filled with things to do and see, even in the winter off-season.

The photos of the hatch to the cabin is one of my projects im working on, this is a little sailboat that G & B made about 30 years ago that is back for a restore. The rails that the cabin hatch slides in were in bad shape so I'm remaking them. Sounds simple enough, but nothing on a boat is straight or square. These are very expensiveboats undergoing expensive repairs, so the work has to be pefect.

I'll get into more detail with the next posts, for now, here's some pictures.

I think everyone should see this guys stuff.

New Craftedu.com Class Coming Soon!!!

2010-11-09T09:18:00.001-08:00

I'm almost done editing my newest class for Craftedu.com, it is on building a wall mounted shelf. It is a basic woodworking class that covers many techniques but I also introduce more advanced tools and techniques that can open up more possibilities. Some of the methods in this video include using the table saw, hand planes, wood lathe and more!

Hot off the workbench!

Jewelry Stuff

2010-11-05T15:14:00.000-07:00

My woodshop not being set up makes it hard to work, so I've been working at my tiny things bench lately. Making chair rings and other stuff. While at Arrowmont I got some enamel as a result of seeing the best jeweler in the world, Victoria Altepeter, use it in making some cool stuff. I also found a press of sorts at my house and used that a little too. On one of them I used it to press in a swirl of wire and enameled over it. Also, even though I have yet to make a real one, I like chairs, other than a bed, chairs are the furniture that you interact with the most. So I like em for the symbolism and the ideas and stories people have about them. I have had a fair amount of people tell me something about chairs in there life as a result of seeing the chair rings, so I want to branch out and try out some other things using the chair form. This is the first go at it, got some other things im working on coming soon. If anyone sees this, give me your opinion on the chair necklace, im not quite sure about it.

Sold my first thing on Etsy!

2010-11-03T22:09:00.000-07:00

I thought selling on Etsy was a hoax, apparently it can happen. Sold my first thing, I put my little chair rings on earlier today and SOMEONE BOUGHT ONE! Couldnt believe it. They got a red one.

I sure am posting a LOT! I want to be an Artist Again.

2010-11-03T15:18:00.001-07:00

Since I left Arrowmont, I kinda strayed from my inner artiest'. Well I'm attempting to get back in the game.

Not brand new, but I dont think I ever put this image up.

More Paintings

2010-11-03T12:53:00.000-07:00

Did these last night and this morning.
The building is about 4 by 6 inches, the boat is only about 1.5 by 2.5 inches, very small.

What I want[ed] to be when I grow up

2010-11-02T20:02:00.001-07:00

When I was deciding on what to do in school I originally wanted to go for painting. It's what I thought art school was all about. Of course once I got there I found out how much more it had to offer, but I still like to paint , I sell my paintings out of an antique store in town. Here are a couple I just finished, they are scenes from around Lynchburg, VA. I normally attempt to paint pretty precise, but on these I tried loosening up, to try the look out and to speed up the process. All around I like it. They are all pretty small about 4 by 6 inches. I like painting small, keeps each painting quick and cheap to produce. They are watercolor on pretty light weight paper.

Digging and Cutting

2010-10-29T12:39:00.001-07:00

Workshop Update

2010-10-29T08:00:00.000-07:00

I rented a mini excavator to do some work on workshop. Used it to dig out beside the building for the wrap around porch. Smoothed out the ground, digging up stumps and stuff. Created the proper grade to shed rain water away from the building. Cut down the big oak tree you see in the before pics and dug up the stump, then buried it somewhere else. I was about a week late taking the after picture, so grass is already growing up, it'll look nice. Cutting down the tree was cool. Also dug the footing holes in the back. This is where the machine room is going to be built, the dimensions will be 20' x 16'. It will also be two floors, the 2ND being a glorified closet for the design studio of the main part of the building. These little excavators are great, if you get a chance to use one take advantage. I also leveled out a fairly large section in the yard for a hard-scaped area and dug 15 holes for fruit trees. I want one!

OK then!

Oh....! I almost forgot I had a blog!!!

2010-10-28T06:18:00.000-07:00

Small post, got my little small things work bench back in the works. It is right next to my engraving bench, makes for a good combo. Here you see a battalion of chair rings that are done and getting ready to be done and mailed out. One group of 30 will be used in a very cool exhibition where 30 artists will put their own personal touch to a chair and then they will be shown as a group. The show is being done by http://www.craftedu.com/ . The others are being sent out for other adventures. Also on the bench are some guns that have or are about to be engraved. So it's definitely a multi tasking bench.

Also shown is my engraving bench, it's about chest height and triangular so that you can sway, rock, roll and wiggle in any position you need to do the engraving. The birds eye pic is not perfectly clear but you can see some of the tools used to engrave.

Ok then, that's all folks!

Not really woodworking but still a tool!

2010-09-17T19:40:00.000-07:00

2010-03-18T02:45:00.000-07:00

DON'T LAUGH AT ME! When I was still at VCU I made how to videos for a How To website, it was fun. I've been wanting to do more of them because they went over pretty well, they ended up on you tube and one of them has over 79,000 views. So I recently made another one and also just got a video camera and some video editing software. I picked a pretty random thing for the first one but here it is, this is the you tube channel i set up that I will post any one for now on. It has links to the ones I made last year. I guess it's OK if you laugh a little bit.

These videos and more are on youtube, just type my name in the search bar!

It's a wardrobe in the works, 40 inches wide, 84 inches tall, 24 deep. Making it out of pine, keepin it low cost. Then if I realllllly like it and think it would be better made out of another wood then I'll make it out of somthing else. But I think its going to be good out of pine.

I'll be updating images.

Thank god for my tenon router jig and Mortiser!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tenon Router Jig

2009-08-25T22:53:00.001-07:00

I just made this jig for cutting tenons on table aprons. It took a little figuring and time, but once it was done it made super quick work of the tenons. Only takes about 2 minutes to do the whole tenon and it is perfect!

A while back I emailed the editor of Fine Woodworking Magazine in hopes of writing an article, well almost a year later I have been given the opportunity to do so. I was made a contributor to a ongoing Blog titled "The Woodworking Life", I will be telling a tale of my trip through Virginia Commonwealth Universities Craft and Material Studies Woodworking/Furniture Design program. I will also be writing about other students from VCU and other schools that have been through similar program in hopes of giving a representation of current woodworking programs all over the country.

Hope you follow the series.
