Messiah was THE text the year before us at uni but the lecture decided to try us on a “new” generation text as the previous years stunes found it “difficult”. Messiah was then made the Honors text but I bypassed this by doing a Grad Dip instead. Then started an MSc and transferred eventually into a PhD. it’s all turned into blur now and I only remember the bits I use like the programming, electrickery and electronics which I liked.

You might appreciate this actually, I'm currently waiting on an Altair 8800 kit to arrive from the US so I can play around with some machine code and improve my low level programming knowledge.
Not a direct replica kit but it operates at the same speed and has all the same features. And it runs on an Arduino [emoji7]

Still working my way through the Mike Pekovich book 'The Why and How of Woodworking' and really enjoying it. There's a part in the design section on doing small sketches and it's really removed the paralysing feeling I often have when sitting down to draw. Like I don't want to make a mistake or not knowing how to translate what I'm thinking onto paper. Now I'm just drawing whatever comes out and getting a lot more done. Great book!

Heard good things about The Essential Woodworker by Robert Wearing, with his passing not that long ago I decided to pick it up.
It arrived today and I can not put it down. I love the writing style and the abundance of illustrations. I'm about 40 pages in and I swear there is gold on almost every page for me. And it actually gives some exercises to try and drill the knowledge in. Highly recommended!
