It took a posting from a hobbyist regarding my drawings to remind me that I used to have a drive for taking photos; old archival plans; and blurry images; to recreate a structure that could be scaled for multiple uses.

For the last year, my wife and I have been moving forward after the loss of our youngest daughter the year before (Jan 2014). Eight months later(Sept) we lost our partner in raising our older grandson; the son-in-law's mother, who kept our boy tightly tied to his father's family. Now (Sept 2015), his father also passed away leaving us with the reality that we are truly 'parents' until we hit 70 and he is 20 and hopefully in a good college by then.

My light; my drive to 'draw'; research; or even think about something I truly enjoyed; has been under the proverbial basket for 2 years, and it is high time I put away the sorrows, and start doing something I enjoy again; which in turn makes my smile return beyond doing this endeavor. When I am drawing, my heart is lighter and that casts out to my family with more patience, kindness, and love....so I had better get moving!

I am looking at a Trotec Laser rather than jumping into 3D printing in order to turn my drawing into a kit somehow. Stay tuned and comment freely!



It will take a few months to get back into it, but I will try to post progress drawings as I can. Happy New Year!
