Been five months since I ruptured a disc in my spine.  Worst injury I've ever sustained in my life so far.  I made these during the dark days of April and May, working for fifteen or twenty minute stretches, until the pain became unbearable and I would have to go lay down again.  

I traded some paintings for a laptop last year, though, and thank god, because I was able to stay on my art hustle from my back.  

I feel as if I'm about 95% healed as of today, and good thing, too, as I'm about to take off on a three week tour of Northern California to hang artwork at music festival and nightclubs, feel the sunlight and see the sights.  Hopefully the party people want to buy some art. The dates are:

July 13-15, Sunset Campout Music Festival link
July 20-22, Bask Music Festival link
July 26, RAW SF Presents: Mixology link

After slogging through a sixty year old handbook written by a master Italian rail carver from San Francisco, making extremely accurate measurements of the staircase, studying everything I could on the internet about his system (called the tangent handrail method), brushing up on my plane and solid geometry, and drawing for four days straight, we ended up with this drawing on a full sheet of MDF (4 ft x 8 ft plus a little) which would (theoretically) accurately describe the three dimensional shape of a curved handrail if it were projected onto flat surface, like a block of wood.: So, ok, next we glued up a big ol hunk of MDF to practice our carving and test our layout on. The THM gives you a big crescent shape, called the face mold, and some accurate angles that will eventually create the twist in the section, which you can see ...
