Yup, it’s been a while for our Meet the Maker series, but here we are again, with a whole bunch of maker-shenanigans to treat you to! May we introduce, Liz K and the Armand’s Joy!
Your name:
Liz K.
When did you join the Brickyard?
April 2021
What do you do (make, learn…) here?
I’m restoring the Armand’s Joy. A sailboat my Grampy built from a kit in 1997. It’s had some hard years in storage and I’m bringing it back to its glory. I’m also expanding my knowledge of woodworking beyond the basics.
What’s your favorite piece of advice, and where did you hear it?
When you can’t sleep because something is on your mind – if you can do something about it right then, get up and do it. But if you can’t, let it go until morning when you can. I always thought it was from my Great Aunt Betty. Turns out it’s advice my mom had given TO her.
Favorite joke:
What happened when the blue ship crashed into the red ship? The sailors were marooned.
What’s the most ridiculous fact you know?
The color orange is named after the fruit. The fruit is not named for the color. It’s why people have red hair or refer to the red breast of a robin. Those things were described before the color orange had a name.
If you had a warning label, what would yours say?
Will leave seltzer cans everywhere.
What’s the best part about The Brickyard?
No matter what you’re working on, you can usually find someone to talk through a problem/challenge or to help set up equipment or to help laugh at whatever mess you made.
