Good morning, afternoon or evening, wherever you may be. It was a slow day in the actual shop today. I'm still on track for Friday though. I had to dedicate an unexpectedly large amount of time to figuring out a printer (I have never owned one myself believe it or not). The thing didn't even come with it's own cable to connect to the PC, so I had to make a double trip. But I need it for my "new normal" of requesting a weekly Canada Post pickup. And sorting out my online account for that was fun as well. Hopefully once I get rolling this will be a little more economical and efficient for shipping, leaving me more time and resources for making. Time will tell.
So I got the rest of the knives and a couple others that I've been putting of etched, and all the sheath prep is set. On of my production limiting factors is the balance I am trying to strike between getting stuff done, and being courteous to the neighbours. I have realized over the three years I have been here that sound travels like crazy due to how everything here is build and spaced. My "home occupation" is legal according to the bylaws here, and my friend on the police service doesn't think there are hours restrictions on time of day I can do it, but I do try to avoid certain days and times, though I don't always depending on my itinerary.
For example, these sheaths will take me a few hours, but because tomorrow is a feast day, and now it's dinner time, I am going to leave the sheaths for Thursday. That way I can send out all the invoices Thursday when all is done, and on the same day request pickup from Canada Post for the next day.
This is my first time trying it out like this, so I just wanted to mention it here with my expression of hope that it goes as smoothly as possible.
