GM! Nostr! This place is special… I hope you all see it? It may not be as big as people would like. However, it has life that most other platforms don’t have… This place is raw and unhindered by the ‘algorithm’. You know that unseen force you can sense on other social media sites? As a relatively new member of social media, I can feel that force on the other sites. The bots and forced negativity… But on nostr it’s different, there is community, friends, and engagement. Is possible that a prosperous social network doesn’t look like the ones in the past? Small and real beats large and manufactured? Instead of worrying about drawing in millions of users… Let’s all continue to build a real community… We will not get everybody to come along… But, we will gather up the right ones. Just my thoughts… Cheers! #nostr #grownostr #gm #coffeechain #plebchain

If you could take a time machine to watch any historical craftsperson at work, who would it be? #asknostr #grownostr #proofofwork

Never be a tweener! Meaning… Never be the person shuffling information between two people. Get them together to talk and then remove yourself. There is nothing worse than being the middle man in a conversation between other people. Cheers! #grownostr

GM! Spark of creativity… People talk about it like it is a brilliant flash of inspiration. It most often is not… It is the quiet small ember in one’s soul that needs encouragement to grow… Even to a tiny fire. Listen to those quiet whispers… They are trying to tell you something! Have a great week! Cheers! #coffeechain #grownostr #gm

Old school machinists are slowly becoming extinct. Which is problematic because not every part needs to be ran on a high end CNC. #metalworking #machining #proofofwork

YOUR WOODWORKING PROJECT SUCKS… If it has a bad finish. A poor finish can ruin even the best-built project. So how do you choose from the sea of wood finishing products? Here’s my go-to: Oil-based polyurethane Its features are: • Easy to apply (wipe-on or brush-on) • Durable and long-lasting • Water-resistant • Inexpensive • Readily available at most hardware stores Why do I recommend it? Because it’s beginner-friendly, bulletproof, and delivers pro results without the hassle. What’s your go-to wood finish? Let’s hear it below! #FabricatorsFieldGuide #woodworking #DIY #proofofwork image
