Split Slate and Fiction
A little bit of gaming, and a little bit of DIY. The dry stone walling workshop at Quince Honey Farm was fun, and though the stones were heavy, the detail was light. The most important messages I took away were to just give it a try. And backfill. Lots of backfill. In this context it’s…

The Reality of Business Part 2
Welcome back to the Nostalgia Hour, with your host, the Ordinary Decent Gamer. I finished up the last entry at the first big hiatus in my ring making career. My degree had to take priority until it was finished up, but after that I was free to return to production. My eldest brother Keith was…

The Reality of Business
The reality of running a small business is hard work. The amount of work I am putting into Newforge Rings in my spare time is far in excess of the financial rewards. The small amount of revenue I have generated to date has been used to buy coins, tools, and other consumables. My latest investment…
