Then the pandemic hit, and all of my suppliers and my shared shop space closed down for a couple months. I was going back and forth to Boston to fulfill a teaching obligation until early March. Owing to the pandemic, the schedule on them has been protracted. I'm fortunate to have brought a couple of paid commissions with me when we moved. It's been an interesting year to say the least: A lot of the opportunities I was hoping to have to publicize my business have been canceled (craft shows and fairs, open studios, etc) due to the pandemic. In early 2020 (which now feels like a million years ago), my partner and I left the Boston area for her to take a job in the northern hinterlands of NH.

I finished that program in early 2019, and split my time between commission work and part time work for other woodworkers. I had left full-time work there in early 2017 to attend the full-time program at the (sadly now-defunct) Furniture Institute of Massachusetts. At the time I posted it, I was working as a contractor for my former full time employer. I never expected it to get any traction or follow-up. I posted the original issue as a minor complaint about the docker cli and promptly forgot about it. ![]()
