Timberworks

Creating one-of-a-kind wood turned bowls with refined or natural edge.

[Timberworks @TimberworksWood]

A small sampling of my (Timberworks) past works. All have been made from local Ontario wood species.

[Timberworks @TimberworksWood]

My apologies for not posting too much work lately. I haven’t stopped woodturning, I’ve just neglected the social media aspect.

Here is a recent piece, a black cherry log that had burl on the exterior. Finished size - 21” wide by 9” high.
Approximately 53 years of growth.

Working for 29.5 days must’ve been quite exhausting for Doug Ford. He will be taking a well deserved break till October 27 when his gruelling schedule resumes 🤦‍♂️🙄

[Colin D'Mello | Global News @ColinDMello]

And thus marks the end of the legislative session.

Premier Doug Ford is asking the Lt Gov to come to the Ontario Legislature to give Royal Assent.

The legislature has only sat for 29.5 days and is wrapping up two days early.

@verymary53 @KellySeven3 @MAGACult2 As a Canadian who has watched the antics of your country for many years, I don’t believe it can be fixed without a major gutting and upheaval. The corruption runs deep on all levels. You are strong but not free and definitely not the best country in the world as taught.

[Tareq Hadhad @TareqHadhad]

Canada will forever be united. East and West. North and Center. Every inch of it.

One country. One destiny.

If sometime in the future, we had the technology to harvest a mineral rich asteroid such as this, wouldn’t the sudden abundance of those minerals make them less valuable?

[Curiosity @CuriosityonX]

Psyche-16 is metal-rich asteroid and might contain gold and rare metals worth over 700 quintillion dollars — enough to make every human on Earth a billionaire (mathematically).

A NASA spacecraft is currently speeding towards this rare metal-rich asteroid.

@furmsies The nut jobs were around in 2001 when my wife took a job delivering census forms. She encountered them back then.
Now in the “Information Age” there are even more nut jobs.

[Timberworks @TimberworksWood]

@Reil76 @BennySellick I’m seeing the same trend in FB comment sections. A constant barrage of Canada sucks/is broken or the city/town we live in has become 💩 because “Liberals”.
It doesn’t take much to see that most are bots. What’s troubling is watching people get sucked in. 100% manufactured

[Timberworks @TimberworksWood]

@CraigBaird Who cares what that goof thinks. I love your content.

[Timberworks @TimberworksWood]

Have you heard of “Dawson Flutter”?

Now you have.

[Craig Baird - Canadian History Ehx @CraigBaird]

In 1978, a Dawson City construction crew made an incredible discovery.
While excavating the site of a swimming pool, they found 533 reels of silent films and newsreels from 1908 to 1929.
Many were thought lost for years.
This is the story.

I couldn’t get enough Monty Python when it was on.

Might have to revisit those episodes again.

I think Trump meant “space cadet”

[Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom]

Captain Bonespurs, the only president in history who refuses to release his academic records and confuses cognitive impairment tests with IQ tests, stood in front of Christina Koch and boasted that he could have been an astronaut because “it’s easy” and he’s “the smartest.”

Koch has dual degrees in Electrical Engineering and Physics, a Master’s in Electrical Engineering, 328 consecutive days in space, and 6 spacewalks.

He’s not a genius.

He’s a fucking moron.

[Timberworks @TimberworksWood]

I was 7 years old when Canada celebrated its 100th birthday. Immense hype, commemorative coins and celebratory music everywhere. It really made me feel patriotic.
That ebbed over the years but has been re-awakened and eclipsed due to Trumps rhetoric.

Be honest:
If you had the choice, would you rather wake up in Canada or the U.S. right now? 🇨🇦🤯

Imagine…

Building a “ship” on the Saskatchewan prairie and intending to sail it Finland.

[Craig Baird - Canadian History Ehx @CraigBaird]

One day, after years of heartache, Tom Sukanen decided to build a ship by hand on his Saskatchewan homestead. His goal was to finish it, drag it across the prairie and sail it home to Finland.
This is the tragic story of Tom Sukanen.

@PeteSamuels5 I never was on board with the TRS 80. Missed that one.

[Timberworks @TimberworksWood]

My first computer was the Commodore Vic 20 (with a whopping 5KB of RAM) but the Commodore 64 initiated my love for programming and computing. We bought magazines with games that could be typed into memory. One errant number would kill the code.

[ArchaeoHistories @histories_arch]

This is what peak technology looked like in 1982...

The Commodore 64, released in 1982, became the best-selling single computer model in history, with estimates exceeding 12–17 million units. It ran on the MOS Technology 6510 processor at roughly 1 MHz and shipped with 64 KB of RAM, significant for a home machine at the time. Its custom chips defined its appeal: the VIC-II handled graphics (up to 16 colors, hardware sprites), while the SID sound chip, designed by Bob Yannes, delivered three-channel synthesizer audio that remains influential in music production and game sound design.

Storage was typically via cassette tapes or 5.25-inch floppy disks using the 1541 drive, and programs were loaded through BASIC or from external media. The system connected to a standard television, lowering the barrier to entry compared to more expensive business computers.

The C64’s software ecosystem included thousands of games, educational titles, and productivity programs, making it a cornerstone of early home computing culture and programming literacy.

At its peak, Commodore’s vertical integration, designing its own chips and manufacturing components, allowed aggressive pricing that undercut competitors like Apple and IBM PC compatibles.

The great Toronto fire of 1904

[Craig Baird - Canadian History Ehx @CraigBaird]

On April 19, 1904, a night watchman spotted a fire coming from Toronto's E&S Currie Neck Wear Factory while out on a night patrol.
Fueled by high winds, the fire destroyed over 100 buildings by the time it was out.
This is the story of The Great Toronto Fire.
