Getter done. Seems like yesterday when we viewed the early belts. I watched mine grow, hard to take it when they do, but glad they do it.

Good luck, from a warrior, 3 styles under my belt lol. Still a practitioner.

Edit: Suggestion, check out “Wing Chun” and Brazilian jiu jitsu.

Wing Chun designed by a women, really enjoyed that style referred to as the old man style of fighting.

What is Wing Chun? Wing Chun is a very unique and effective martial art. It is the only martial art created and made famous by a woman. Ng Mui, the Shaolin nun who developed the system, realized that most of the techniques in Shaolin kung fu were useless for a small woman to use against a larger, stronger man.

Brazilian jiu jitsu is good for ground fighting technics, respected by Chuck Norris, who recommended it and encouraged it for Americans, started the Octagon.

I like the way the warm halogen lights on one side and cool LEDs on the other make these seem like two different pictures in one:

 

You should slide some surprisingly uncompressible news paper in your kerf to minimize binding on the wire and keeping your stock flat(ter).

Congratulations on raising child willing to venture outside for physical activity. Also, is that.... a solar powered swing set? Say it is even if it isn't, I wanna believe such a thing exist.

 

13.1m sailboat mast made from a pine tree. In 2016 I "filled" it with 27l of linseedoil, now it's time to refill.

What are the mast dimensions? Weight?
How do you bring it into position?

When it was delivered at my house in 2016, it weight around 350Kg. After that I filled it with linseed oil. At the top the diameter is 13cm and at the bottom around 27cm. I had a friend with a crane on a truck to lift it in the shed. Small steps, and a lot of muscles.

Now I'm applying more linseed oil, and we plan to put it back on the boat the first week in May this year.

This pictures are taken before I removed the rigging.

Yeah, pretty basic. Let's spice it up with a smoker and two pork butts.

As I'm rightfully jealous of all grill/smoking activities this time of year I have no choice but to report this photo as pornography.

That is a interesting and well documented project and only could have been made better if all that effort was to power the swing set.

In another 10 years when I'm in my upper 70's that might be a good project but for now I can still swing while drunk.

Your choice but you could have been the Ron Popeil of swing sets. "Too tired to push the little ones? You just set it and forget it!".
