And, well, aside from my poor sharpening skills, (improved since!) this went well overall and made enough boards for a chicken coop and outhouse siding.

This vintage Chevy is falling apart but still solid metal left to it... it might just be waiting to be transformed into a stunning rat rod..?!?

Dylan got the gig, did the wood prep and came today to Winlaw to get into the carving. First one accomplished, now to figure out how to safely and efficiently we can get those heavy pieces up and down and carved asap!

I built it for 18k in total materials, trailer, appliances... and with or without building experience, it will be an incredible in itself, the Destination is a Debt Free life, a Slave wage freedom! Escape the Rat Race, so why not take this into your own hands and learn life long skills in the process ??? DO IT! or Hire me:)

Anyway.
The speed square has many other uses for tracing angles, guiding the lines, but here I simply use it as a fence for my circular saw.

Not the best time or place to film it but just came Home after showing that on two other lands, finding lines I didn't know about.
If you are a skeptic, make yourself a favor, go try before you troll.
Used that technique on many different properties and water lines, many I didn't knew and located accurately, so it does work indeed. Fascinating.

A bit of story:
The Aven de la Salamandre was explored for the first time in 1965 by a team of speleologists from Uzès and Nîmes. After a 50 metres descent on a cable ladder, they were surprised to discover a vast area about the size of a football field, very richly adorned with titanic crystals of an incomparable aesthetic.

I tend to use cheap plywood to make prototypes and that time unfortunately budget didn't allow to upgrade to Mdf or Baltic Birch, much better bases for a clean paint job and stronger structure also.

Took a lot of work and really not a fan of those trailers but the End Caps on both sides turned our stunning!
Yet to do the rest of that project, or not, I at least got to save the frame, put new floor, new insulation everywhere... I also put an additional Door as well as 4 more windows all taken from an Overlander donor.
What a project! Airstreams are really NOT meant to be in Canada...

Yakisugi (焼杉) is a traditional Japanese method of wood preservation. Yaki means to heat with fire, and sugi is cypress. It is referred to in the West as burnt timber cladding and also known as shou sugi ban (焼杉板) which uses the same kanji characters but an incorrect pronunciation. The ban character means "plank".
By slightly charring the surface of the wood without combusting the whole piece, the wood becomes water-proof through the carbonisation and is thus more durable. It also protects against insects, as well as making the wood fire retardant.

Playing with my friend Tom, his brother and friend is a lot of fun! They have all Tippmann gear, the whole thing including radio, the reason you hear me say "Got it" to my team on channel 1 or 2.
On their property they cleared the wood to make paths and different scenarios possible, I love this kind of games as it bring more serious strategies and communication effort.
Somewhere near Nelson, British-Columbia, Canada

People are there to have fun, vent and let go of daily stress, from super tactical geared up folks to Karen from your office..!
On this video I show the Tippmann challenge from 2011, an insane 3 days event with over 1000 players !! Two years in a row they even had an helicopter to take pictures from! Unreal !
I was rarely recording videos, so I did not have that much intense action on tape unfortunately but that should give an idea of the scale of that place with many themed "maps" all open into one gigantic one for that event.

Then to my trusted pole saw with which I can easily cut 16' or 5m up the trees, giving them all a much deserved trim, good for the eyes, literally, when at eye level, but for the esthetics, for the quality of lumber (keep it straight with less knots), and protect from Fire, as the lower dry branch help fueling the fire upward to the canopy. And then a lot of walking and moving branches around to different fire pits !
It is good to realize Trees and plants in general are beings too, on a different timeline, they communicate to one another and are much smarter than it first appear. They deserve our care, and they deserve to be prune, and some, taken down to keep the healthy, healthy.

In this video, I'm sharing one of my all-time favorite skateboard shots. This time, I had my GoPro with me—a rarity since I'm usually the one behind the camera. A pouch I carried slightly got in the way, but that's just part of the journey.
For years, I've collected small snippets of videos but never got around to doing anything with them due to a lack of context. Now, I've pieced them together, providing narration and context, to give you an insight into the making of that amazing shot.
The gear I used for this shoot included the film camera Canon EOS 1, my reliable Canon 40D, a Samyang 8mm fisheye, and a Sigma 70-200mm 2.8. To complement this setup, I used an affordable remote flash trigger with a Canon speedlight.
Join me as I delve into the past, uncovering the story behind this iconic shot, and the unforgettable day at the TAZ Skatepark. Stay tuned for more adventures in skateboarding photography. #TAZSkatepark #ElementDemo #MarkAppleyard #NyjahHuston #CanonEOS #Canon40D #SkateboardingPhotography"

I will be doing Live this third design to decide which route to go on the Renovation and existing foundation. This 'tiny house' is 450 sqft - 41.8m².
Starting off a wooden floor, I will be building a classic North American stick frame cabin, this one will be the most budget option with single shed roof line, and 2 by 4 walls, which I would not recommend....
FYI you should use Tags/Layers, to help hide several components or groups which makes your life easier ! I did not in the video, I was still figuring them out...

To use Mid Journay AI Text to Image you will have to install Discord, and to use it more efficiently, pay for it, but it is possible, like Dall-E 2 to test it for free.

Using Discord, Mid Journey AI Text to Image has been so fun to create with!
Like with many new tools, it's scary, confusing, exciting, mind bending and rewarding..!
I have used it or a few sessions and already picked up a few tips to get better images so you can steal a couple tricks in there, from the aspect ratio -- ar 16:9 or -- ar 3:2
to the version of processor -- v 4
the style -- s 0 to -- s 6000
keep an image seed, core esthetic -- seed 156........232
