New coffee shelf going out to @mugenben

This one was slightly taller than my previous design, to accommodate 3 shelves. Also painted red which I think looks sick. Been really enjoying adding pops of color to home furnishings lately.

Also very excited to have joined @thebodgery makerspace in Madison to start pursuing other hobbies and learn new skills. Learned how to take a rough cut maple board and turn it into a square piece of lumber for these shelves. First time joining, planing and trimming a board on the table saw 😊

Brazing!

Paint!

MADISON: we are coming to you!
Join us for a pop-up show of “I Can Almost Reach You” at the Bodgery, 740 Oscar Ave, 7:30pm August 4th.

Follow two creatures into an infinite dreamscape within a shrinking environment. Co-created by Grace Cooper and Margaret Mighty Oak Brackey in a year-long process uniting physical theater, eco-art, and improvisation, “I Can Almost Reach You” crosses the shoreline between sleep and awake…but be careful: the boundaries between territories are startlingly thin.

I haven’t mentioned on this account that one of my side projects is running a philanthropic entity called Rhizomium Foundation. I’m thrilled to have @lostartpress and @1snugthejoiner as board members / co-conspirators. 2025 was our first year of operation and our focus is providing grants to non-profit entities that work in the fields of natural conservation and craft. Rhizomium has its own IG account (@rhizomium ) on which we’ll feature some of the organizations and projects we’ve funded, and we’ll eventually have a website that describes a little more about what we do and how we do it.

But today I thought I’d share on this account a really cool project that Rhizomium had the honor of funding. We partnered with Madison’s @thebodgery for “Rivers, Rocks, and Ropes,” a boat building class for 15 students at @shabazzcityhighschool . Students collaboratively applied science, math, and engineering concepts and gained woodworking and metalworking skills in building a Bevin skiff that will be used by future Shabazz students to explore and study the Yahara River Watershed. I was privileged to attend the ceremonial launch of the boat on Lake Mendota last Thursday and I got to see the boat, meet the core instructors, and speak with a few of the kids.

Most of us will very soon see the bulk of our existence chaperoned by AI. What an amazing experience for these kids to get to build something outside Minecraft, with their own hands, that will be used in the real world for years to come. One student I spoke to at the boat launch said “I didn’t really know what I wanted to do with my life before this class.” As someone with a special needs child who absolutely did not fit into conventional educational practices, I know firsthand how important this kind of tangible education is, and it’s an honor to be involved with it in some small way. Thanks to Jay Larson (@cedarfishboatco ) , Dave Zanella, and Greg Watson at the Bodgery and Brian Counselman, Joe St. Peter, and Sydney De Selm at Shabazz for being captains on this worthy adventure.

We enjoyed a lovely tour of @thebodgery makerspace, thanks to our wonderful host, @cedarfishboatco. We got to see the amazing boat that Shabazz High School students are building, as well as beautiful frames and ceramic tiles created by Innovative High School students. 🛠️

The Bodgery is such an incredible opportunity for MMSD students, and we’re so grateful for those who make this space possible, including the @madisoncommfdn and the generous Bodgery members.
