It's still your free hand, I'd imagine the nitrogen just lessens the pushing force required by your hand. How would I go about putting a thumbs up on a reply?

It's a little reciprocating piston,

Sorry about the short replies, whisky was keeping me from being eloquent.

I don't take many videos of myself at work, I don't have a trinocular scope so it's kind of a pain in the dick to do. But, this should help explain a bit. Sound on and you can hear the machine. The one i have is a Lindsay foot control Classic. Someday I'd like the palm control unit.

There has never been a better time in history than now, to learn fine art hand engraving, or to be a hand engraver. There are some very fine quality tools being made out there by talented engineers and machinists passionate about engraving. I took my beginner class from Ray Cover in 2021. I've been a goldsmith 13 or 14 years and wanted to see if I could shift my focus a little. I now work part time doing coture customs for a jeweler in Wayzata and handle all the setting work, and hand engrave from home when I'm not there.

Bolster design transfer. I do my designs with Adobe illustrator as I prefer the mathematical precision and versatility of vectors.

I gotta leave for a while. I'm letting a friend take care of my house while I'm away. Does this make sense? Anything I missed or should have covered? What do you guys do when you just gotta get on a plane and be gone a while?View attachment 5316273

You must be excruciating to live with! I'd look at your flowchart and I think Id' just make sure everything gets watered.

Looks perfect to me but then I rarely feed or water. Plants still get massive. Them darn weeds'll grow.

I'm actually not worried about anything except my precious paste tomatoes. They are so fucking fussy. I don't want to lose the entire year to blossom end rot. Buddy knows nothing about plants, he's taking care of my dogs and chickens and snakes and plants... I wanted to make it simple.

Good plan. My tomatoes aren't getting the care they should have really. But then again I have 14 gangster piglets running amuck in the yard. I sequestered an additional 6 in bulletproof fence to protect them from the anarchists' influence.

So, how are things looking @Minnegrowta

They measure just shy of 8 feet tall. Still getting bigger. Some leaves at the very bottom of both plants are yellowing, and I'm not sure if that's a big problem or not. Preflowers but nothing really new to note. I'm in Portland for the next 8 days, father in law was diagnosed with cancer and broke his hip a week after starting chemo and then got a stomach infection, we're here to more or less wellness check. Husband's estranged brother called him and said their dad looked like he was ready to go and scared him into flying us out on short notice. Next plant update will be the 18th.
