I don't have a 'collection', per se...but 'things' collect me.
The odd art....Masami Teraoka print, "31 Flavors Invades Japan" is above my desk, an original water color gift from a designer that respected my work, some raku ceramic pieces, other prints that struck fancy, this 'n that...*s*
I collected neon items for awhile, but they don't travel well and run voltages that rival 'stat speakers....and higher. "Don't touch th..."
"Yes, I'm got something for your burnt finger....here's a drink..."
('Caution! 15,000 volts!' sign notwithstanding....*sigh*)
Items collect me...like 'bendable plywood', wanting something 'subtle' to be done with it. Odd wood, one of which I can't find in any list of rare wood.
Cast-off PA cabinets that rendered an 18" EV woofer that got reconed professionally, and awaits a cabinet. A pair of JBL speaker with mangled cabs, but the drivers intact, more or less (10" woofers reconed, but everthing else 'good to go'). A pair of DIY cabs that rendered a 12" Utah woofers (reconed) and the matching horns.
(Since 'repurposed' into a pair of 'pseudo-Ohms"...a private joke...)
I 'collect' odd tools for the work of our business, odd in itself.
(We design, build, and install 'natural playground' structures. In itself, uneffected by C19...thankfully....). We have some things that other wood shops would likely not consider, or even recognize.
*L* Anything that enters my space...leaves 'different'.
That's my 'thing'....*S*
I can't count the times I've been approached with..."....this has Jerry written all over it. Here..."
Given a proper budget, I'm about ready to do the impossible with Nothing.
It's a knack. ;)
