Slideluck Potshow DC IV

Last Friday, May 21, I had the opportunity to attend another Slideluck Potshow, this time in DC. (Read about my first SLPS experience here.) Joshua Cogan's studio in Chinatown was packed with people, food, and drinks from Brooklyn Brewery.

SLPS founder Casey Kelbaugh introduces the show:

Slideluck Potshow just launched slideluckpotshow.com v2.0, which looks amazing! Now slide shows will be available for online viewing, long after an event is over. There are still a few kinks to be worked out, so most of the slide shows from DC IV are not yet available. But keep checking back! And look out for future SLPS events.

I Made a Table!


It's true. This past quarter at RIT, I took a woodworking class, in which I built the above table out of one piece of maple wood, purchased at Pittsford Lumber. The top of the table is a true bookmatch, meaning that it is one piece of wood, cut in half, opened up, and joined together, creating a mirroring affect. After much hand sanding, I applied two coats of Tried & True, an all natural wood finish, made from linseed oil and beeswax. I can't take all the credit, though. George Dubinsky, the course instructor, designed the table and provided much help, as did his assistant, Trevor Ritchie.

Table Dimensions: 16.5"w x 23"h
