On the subject of kitchen design, a quick slice of hindsight, and in the "Taking credit where no credit is due" department...
Today there are scattered showers that are keeping me from working on a couple of hatches that are top of "I really must get these projects out of the way!" list.
Like everything on "So It Goes" all the various projects have to go through the Need/Want meat grinder to see what gets worked on. Obviously I need to sort out those hatches but, in truth, it's not the job I really want to do.
Which means, that since I can't work on the hatches I tend to invest time in fabricating cunning plans for the projects I really want to do. Which, as it happens, has me looking at ever more clever ways to build a better mast and rig.
The fact is that there is really nothing wrong with the current mast and rig other than, as is hindsight is 20/20, I've realized I could have built the current mast lighter, less expensively, and quicker. Another factor is that I could do a better tabernacle arrangement as well which would allow me to drop the mast and raise it in a more stress free and easier manner.
Of course, the mast in place works just fine but the urge to improve and make it better is that gnawing urge that I keep coming back to.
One of the improvements I wanted to incorporate in the new better mast and rig was a product I found very interesting and should have been something of a game changer for folks doing textile rigging... the Nub.
The Nub, which was a brilliant bit of design, seems to be no longer available. Then again, it is a very simple concept that could easily be reverse engineered by someone with a router and a couple of feet of Delrin rod.
A task I really should add to the projects list...

So it goes...
