Thoughtful conversations with the people of Maine

I learned this from my father. You can't go to a catalog and order a reamer for an A four 40 alto in f based on bra. You have to make that reamer. Once you learn how to make your own tools or that you can, that's another whole world.

I want the viewer to be drawn in deeper so that it could be the fifth, 30th time they've looked at that piece and they'll notice a bit of texture in a corner or a little something peaking out from an earlier layer that they hadn't noticed previously.

You're not gonna paint starry night from one blank canvas. You gotta just go through hundreds.
