Here are some of the different number types I’ve got so far. This is incredibly exciting, and I think it will really turn out well. Next week I will work on putting the numbers on my clocks and finishing them up.
I took a road trip with my boss this week to get a load of cedar wood. The cedar wood is the wood I used to make my very first clock and it is by far my favorite wood to use. It’s extremely lightweight and very strong. Perfect for a clock.
Last week I had a bit of a mental breakdown and was freaking out about my future and where this business will be in a year or two. I’ve come to realize that it doesn’t matter. I don’t know what the future holds, but I do know that I’d be a real fool to waste the opportunities that have been presented to me.
I want to take a moment and talk about the power of starting, of beginning. I’ve always struggled with starting new things and I find it to be very scary. I believe that many people are plagued with a fear of starting and are all waiting for the perfect time to start their dreams that …
March 4, 2022 I talked to my boss about the clocks that are splitting and he told me that it’s wet wood. If you don’t remember from last week, I had most of the clocks destroy themselves almost magically. That’s at least how it felt. When wood is wet, it saturates itself and increases in …
February 25, 2022 AGHHHHHHH. Sorry, I just had to scream. You won’t believe what’s happened. No, I’m serious, you won’t believe me. I’m going to tell you and you’re going to say “that seems made-up.” And I thought the number situation was bad with the stencils. Remember that little snafu? Remember how I tried to …

I love self-improvement. I love the idea of improving and becoming the best version of myself that I can be. Everyone wants to be better but it’s hard to know where to start. We can all think of areas where we need to improve and of things we want to be able to do. Whether …
TGIF, or thank God it’s Friday, has become the mantra of the American workforce. But why? Why not TGIM, or thank God it’s Monday? I think I know why. I think it has to do with the mindset that people have for their lives and for their week. Let me show you how the days of the week break down for most people working typical 9:00-5:00 jobs and why this mindset is so dangerous.
February 11, 2022 I still have no idea what I’m going to do about numbering the clocks. No clue. I’m just going to have to do what I can and hope that eventually, I can come up with something. There are still some different numbering styles I can do. I just feel so overwhelmed by …

February 18, 2022 I didn’t work much on clocks this week but I did do something pretty incredible if I do say so myself. Check. This. Out. This looks so good! Finally, I’ve got one completed. This took way too long to figure out. Never in a million years would I have guessed how hard …
