Dwell made working Thanksgiving weekend much easier.
Last month, I had paper tubes manufactured in Wayne, NJ and went down to see how they were actually made. Here’s a video.
When a manufacturer needs to identify a fabric (and there’s no label) they’ll cut a small piece off the garment and then burn it. If it shrivels up into ash and smells bad, then it is a protein or something natural like silk. If it is synthetic like polyester, it will melt into a hard ball like plastic and be odorless.

Have you just upgraded your camera and want to sell your old one to me?
I need something that will sync up to a mono light. Please email me if you do!

F is for fancy-pants, actually.“F” is the “Factory” in the Wintercheck Factory. Here’s the start of an engraving pass on a series of fancy-pants money holders that are another piece in the long line of awesome goodies by Kristen and company. This job is being run on the CNC router, material is 1/16” aluminum, alloy 6061.
Whoa! I’m pumped. See you tomorrow.117 pieces of 1/16” aluminum, CNC engraved and routed out to become awesome Wintercheck Factory goodies. The engraving looks really nice, but it could use some optimization. It took almost 3 hours just for the text. This was obviously a programming issue, which will be addressed in later runs.
Just got urethane dip swatches in the mail. They look like candy.
