I was cleaned by Rubi player.
Rubi player is someone who uses real money to buy power-ups in this game.
I have nothing against them but I think that it takes half the fun away,  game is not challenging any more.

I have been attacked by various players and I have been randomly attacking every player I can reach, this is what this game is about.
He was too powerful for me to attack directly and I could not ignore this attack, so I sent Wraith Dragon.
I did not use speed ups, so he knew it’s coming.

After that of course he was upset when I refused to sacrifice my troops for his Wraith Dragon in return .
Immediately after the battle, I received a lot of attacks from twelve of his clan members.
I got so many sentinel warnings and battle reports at the same time that I was a little confused.
I wanted to at least catch one of these attacks.
I hid my infantry and Banshees and some of my dragons. I left 300K battle dragons to defend my city.
It was my fault that I was not quick enough to pull them back when a spy was killed.
So I got Wraithed.

Very nicely played, a great teamwork.
For this there is the alliances in this game.

The last few days I’ve hit them all back.
And I got one new enemy!

If my wilderness is stolen – no problem, I take better one.
If my city is raided once or twice – no problem, I do it to other all the time.
If my Outposts has been set on fire – little problem, but I understand, I destroyed two hidden armies this way.

But if I receive personal insults – THIS MEANS WAR !

Friendly advise: spy before You attack somebody.
I lost 100000 Battle Dragons because I did not spy before the attack.

“Kiss my Ass” by Silas Kopf

I read somewhere that the real master to not copy the work of other masters, but instead steals the ideas.

I stole the idea of making this tabouret from grate marquetry master Silas Kopf who made a chair “Kiss My Ass”.

I do not have that much patience to make such detailed work, but I wanted to make my version, so I make a simplified stool “Lick Me”.

I’m not an artist, I’ve never been able to draw (these two sketches are not made by me).
That’s why the starting took a lot of time, I asked workmate to draw a sketch for me.
But I did not like these versions, then I took a mirror and I was a model for myself.
And that’s what I came up with:

Here are some pictures of the making process:

And here is the finished product:

Tabouret “ Lick Me ”

Because of this stool is designed for women and I was the model for it, it is of course a male stool.
And that’s why it just had to have something between the two legs.

Male Stool “Lick Me”

I’m not happy with the result, I wanted something bigger, and something that resembled more of the melted timber.
But okay, I probably have to do more of these.
Besides, I think the wall looks much prettier already.

Most importantly, they are attached by a single screw, so I can turn them every day to a new position, and have every day a new view.

Because it is raw lumber , then a few boards crooked in the drying process.

But this does not mean that they can not be used.
You just need to be imaginative and use this curvature to your advantage.

Halfway Done

Here are two pictures of the gluing process:

And here are the finished product “ Splash ” :

I had this idea for about half a year, but never had the will or time to carry it out.
There I present a beautiful woodwork examples, that I found on the internet and I make few humorous posts that are related to woodworking.

These works of art and the jokes are for adults only !

My new crest stem

My colleagues could not understand why I do it, they said, “Go into a shop and buy one”.
But I am woodworker and I’d like to make it by myself.

wrongly marked dovetail

properly marked dovetail

And now after the dovetail was cut and joined ( unfortunately, I do not have the right tools , that is why it is not too nicely done ).

joined cross dovetail

after milling

And now , if You interested , how the cross dovetail was made , here is a picture which explains it:

So , here are all pieces ready for glue up:

Ready for glue up

And here are the blank glued:

And here the blank when glue was dry:

after glue up

I used 10mm sticks to make waves, however, the effect would have been better if I used at least 15mm sticks, next time I will.

When I made the gluing , I thought that I shall give it a little twist:

After that I used several different hand and power tools to get the billet rounded.
And then a lot of sanding on lathe:

And finally here it is, a really strong mop handle with a twist :
