      @Mizmazzle that is absolutely stunning! I love walnut (obviously, lol), and your piece is exactly why. There's so much amazing figuring in that board, and it's simply gorgeous. I'm so glad you have something in your home that brings you so much joy.

                @Anesthetist Such an interesting design. I remember when that place was built, it seemed so modern.

                  I filed for a patent this morning, so I'm officially allowed to share this with the world. I've been designing this for the last 4 months and it's finally done!

                    Just stunning my man!! Congratulations on your achievement. It looks like it can articulate and adjust to any position…but also looks instantly like a classic, mid century piece of furniture/ art.

                    It’s a roach clip, right??

                                  @seawolf This is great!! I hate my current stitching pony where I have to sit on part of the base. My base is wood and it’s always a struggle to find a seat that it won’t scratch up or rip, but is also comfortable.

                                  Do you plan to manufacture or license?

                                    @Go-For-Chill Thank you! I hate having to sit on the base of my little stitching pony too. I added leather to the bottom of it so it doesn't scratch my chair, but it's not very comfortable for long periods of time. I also have a big one that my father-in-law built for me that sits on the floor, and I much prefer using that one.

                                    Yes, I plan on manufacturing. I need to work out some of the engineering still, but once I have it all dialed in, I'll start sourcing local manufacturers to get these made. They'll be sold under my brand Mascon & ZeeBee Tools.

                                      True, but it’s a lot easier when you’re starting from a solid idea! You probably know this already but do check in with your attorney before sharing any clever stuff you come up with when you’re fine tuning the engineering.

                                        @ARNC Great advice. Thank you! All of the clever engineering will be proprietary information, and at some point I may have to submit a utility patent as well.

                                            @tody yeah, for now. A utility patent is a different animal, and the shape of this thing is what’s most important in this moment. I’ve filed two utility patents before and they’re on a whole other level.
