Happy to be here!

GM nostr, its time for my #introductions I've been here for a while now, getting my feet under me, learning, interacting. Sometimes just talking to the void & sometimes having real, meaningful connections. I plan to continue interacting and sharing here, on this wild and free protocol. And today I'm happy to use nostr to announce the Hook Mountain Manufacturing Company est. 926845. It is a one man shop. It is me and I am it. I take trees from my local ecosystem that were otherwise going to be turned to mulch or sent to the big mills upstate and beyond for veneer, flooring, etc. and I turn them into useful products for your everyday life. I've been working with trees for many years at this point, and have been learning how to process them from log to end product. It is a slow journey, filled with trials and errors. Blood, sweat, tears. I am not formally trained, just brute forcing my way through life and production. Part of my production process involves directing the heat generated from bitcoin mining into a wood kiln to reduce the moisture content of my lumber to a suitable range for fine wood working. When you support my business you are directly supporting the decentralization of the network. Any knowledge I gain in this area will be shared freely. My aim is to be a nostr & bitcoin first company. I want to make quality products and trade them for hard money. My goal with this company is to produce enough value for the world to afford me and my eventual family a comfortable life filled with travel, learning, and connection. For now I am accepting bitcoin and fiat - not out of choice but necessity. When my bitcoin market gets big enough I will drop the fiat and never look back. If you made it this far thank you for reading. I sincerely appreciate everyone here who is fighting for a better world. It won't come easily, but with focus and commitment we have a chance. #introductions #hashheat

926845** I just can't help myself with the typos

Soon you'll be measuring time in vanilla cycles 🤣

I make a lot of typos, which just shows that I post straight off the cuff & am not AI 😉 You get the real deal

I never liked tomatoes until I had a fresh tomato.

Well cared for natural cutting boards are 🤌

This board is made from three trees. A walnut from my hometown, a maple that I used to sneak out under, and a cherry from a best friend's home. I grew up in the shadow of these trees and so many more. As I lived, as I learned, as I lost. I never would have thought I would be intimately involved with their future. That I would one day dissect and repurpose them. I don't know the story of every tree that passes through my hands, but I know the story of these three. I appreciate you taking a chance on random nostr business and continuing the story. I hope this board serves you and your family well for many years.

Finally got my new switch - if all goes well batch 4 will be turned on today. It is mostly oak but with a few surprises at the bottom of the kiln 😉 I expect that products made from this wood will hit the market in March #plebmining #hashheating

That's my favorite way to cook

I'm still very limited with my shipping experience and knowledge so I have it set off for international. If you want to order you can send a note of what you'd like through my contact form & add the shipping address (you can do nostr DM too, whatever you prefer). I can get a shipping quote tomorrow!

Great use case!

If you want some small samples of wood from my part of the world I would send them if you zapped the postage! Little blocks perfect sizes for knife inlays & all hash heated of course 😃

What caused the Younger Dryas period? 🧐

Thank you! I'm happy to be here and always inspired by other nostr / bitcoin focused businesses!!

That hit me right in the feels! Check your DM for a discount code to share with your family

😂 that's good

Looks clean!!

As it should be 😎
