Huh, when you called it a “partners desk”, I was imagining that two people could use it across from each other. The top is certainly big enough, but there’s no place for the partner to sit.
Looks great, regardless!

The desk is a partners desk. The room is a single room. But someday…

No, there is the same setup on the other side, i just didn’t photograph it. Looks the same from either side, 7 drawers and 2 writing drawers and place for a chair on each side. A boatload of storage. I just don’t have a chair on the other side, but yhat is where my microscopy area will be, so there will be one.

More fun with the frickin’ laser. I’m making an improved contour map. I’m not finished gluing it up yet, but I saved the cutouts and made this “inverted” map out of them.
The river is on top. 1/16" basswood, 10 layers. I’ll post the finished map when it’s done in the next couple days.
EDIT: It’s done

My wife really liked the ziplock bag spice rack thing.
And then she said “I hate to ask and there’s no hurry but could you make one for the drawer?”
She did bake me a pie and got me a palm router for Christmas so…

I didn’t do any of the design or construction work on this one, but earlier this year I illustrated the official rendering for one of the Rose Parade floats that was on the teevee this morning. Looks like the float won a trophy, so that’s nice.
ETA: they recently posted some video of the finished float from just before the parade.

Yup, that’s my Alma mater. I’ve been working with their Rose Float committee off and on for (checks notes) 28 years?? Christ I’m getting old.

SLO or Pomona?

Pomona. Though the campus has changed so much I probably wouldn’t recognize it if I went back today, the building that used to house the Art Department doesn’t even exist anymore.

I was at SLO in the late 90s. I had the same experience when I drove by campus a few weeks ago visiting my parents.

Oh, I wonder if we knew any of the same people! I worked with SLO students on the floats for years.
Also there’s a third Cal Poly in Humboldt now. Not sure how much they contribute to the float-building effort.

Certainly plenty of the greenery I would imagine
