Special stuff on this one ladies and lumbergents! While on our cross country trip this summer we visited Morgan’s Nana’s cabin in the wonderful Fishtail Montana. We made loads of new friends and had awesome adventures. While prowling around on the cabin property I checked out the garage… It was a virtual treasure trove of awesome looking tools. With hungry eyes I snatched em up to immortalize them on the blog. I conferred with Nan and some of these tools belonged to her father, Bopo (dating them back to nearly 1940!). Look at how sturdy all the hatchets are. Check the awesome leafy embellishments on the saws. Behold the magnificent patina nearly 70 years has put on the tools. Get this sucker quick for yer’ desktop. By special request: room for your icons on the right! (You are welcome Mr. Rockwood)

So anyone who has watched any sporting event with me in recent months knows a rather disturbing fact/fetish of mine. I am in love with… luxury car leasing screens! When a good Mercedes or Lexus leasing lock-up appears on screen, I jump up and yell something dorky like:

“Look at that grid, suckers!”

-or-

“Well kern my letters those Germans can sure make a handsome leasing screen!”

Yeesh… It’s really embarrassing. I scoured the web for examples for a good half hour and got nothing (I guess you need a camera, big TV, and great reflexes to catch one of these beauties in the wild.)

Now that my confessional is out, I used this sordid love affair as inspiration for a hatchet desktop. It was a really fun exercise and I hope to do more in the future. For now though you can plaster my self-indulgent lock-up on your computer screen and save up your pennies for a Hatchet brand Hatchback (obviously). Props to Mr. Neubau for the car.
