I'm always looking for new ways to improve my studio space and find the best tools. I have a lot of fun customising tools and modifying my workspace to be as suited to my practice as possible. So in this video, I modify a grinder into a tool that I now use all the time. If you like this kind of video and want more. Let us know in the comments below.

    The fact that Jono says "Rupert has a very beautiful way of articulating things." I personally think Jono has a great voice for narrating books or a documentary.

    What a fabulous hobby! Every artist needs an additional creative outlet, especially once art becomes their job. It looks like a very inspiring process for you. I really love the care and intention you put into your studio. Your new grinder cover is a beautiful addition.

    I would love to see you do an old pirate ship caught in a storm at night. The way you use darks would make that an insane drawing.

    I just buy top press coffee grinders... I'm able to grind all kinds of things to various grades of "powder" in them. Spice grinders work very well too.

    I used a "made for TV" pet nail grinder, it's handheld battery operated and has a shield that captures the powder, great for pencil sharpening to a needle point

    Could you mount it so the sandpaper is facing down? That way the powder would fall down. I love your work!

    Curious have you tried using a small Krups coffee grinder? Seems like it could work well for making graphite powder out the sticks

    if you need pounds or kilos maybe ball mill would be appropriate, they use it to tumble and mill fine gun powder dust. youtube search ball mill gun powder

    If you have not other choice than to be an artist then go for it. But you will very likely not earn any money from it. I don’t recommend it. Perhaps you can make engineering your art…

    I completed my bachelor's degree in civil engineering, but I have always had a passion for creating art (especially drawing). For me, it has been a challenge to understand what I am to do with each: full-time engineer with an art hobby, try to have an art business instead of doing engineering, etc. I became an engineer for a couple of reasons: to have a steady income to take care of my family and to use engineering to help humanity. I was an engineer for a few years after I graduated. I eventually started my own art business, Chad Miller Studio Art, and took a break from engineering. I did this because I have messages that I want to share with the world through my artwork. What I found is that starting your own business is very tough and requires MUCH hard work. I also found that sometimes your hobby is best to stay a hobby so that you won't lose it (this isn't always the case). I returned to civil engineering, for now, while also continuing to create art on the side in my art business. I still have art to share with the world, but I also have my family to take care of and my mind to protect. I say all of this to encourage you to give your options a shot. If you're passionate enough about creating art, don't let that go to waste. But also be sure to take care of yourself and those you love. And if you give art a shot and it takes a while to work out, don't get down on yourself.

    You have to realize that to make a living from art isn't something that happens overnight. It can take years. The process of discovering yourself , to discover art that is a representation of you , to then make it into something that people and potential buyers can relate to and buy is a time consuming process. I suggest you continue to do your Engineering , and start art by the side but be dedicated. Even though it may be part time , treat it as a full time job. That way you will really grow and understand the whole process and also be dedicated. Wishing you all the very best.

    It'd interesting seeing artists fumble over something so simple. Yes, the story is what builders don't consider. Art and building has a huge gap for most
