INTIMATIONS OF MORTALITY II
Indiana limestone, clear and colored glass, resin casting, imitation gold leaf, black linen matboard, plywood backer - 15¼"x 4⅝"x 1¾"
The work was originally done for an exhibit exploring what artists did while working during the COVID19 lockdown (POSTCARDS FROM THE WINDOW-2021 see link below). However, that work was stolen from the exhibit. I never had a work stolen from me before — it is a strange feeling knowing that my work so moved someone to the extent that they felt they had to have it while at the same time there is the dis-respect of having something taken away from me so I could never share it again. It was like they had stolen the words from my mouth while at the same time complementing me on my phrasing.
The piece had begun with a little found object token (a key fob in the form of a human skull) which I had separated from the chain and which had sat on my successive desktop computers for perhaps twenty years as a sort-of mascot. During the COVID lockdown I found myself focusing on this memento mori again and again, and finally decided to use it as part of a self-portrait as a survivor (for the time being, anyway).
After the work was stolen I felt like I had to replace it, to repeat the story someone took away from me, re-state my stolen 'words'. I tried to find a replacement skull to no avail — whoever had manufactured the key fobs originally all those years ago were not still marketing them that I could find, so I had to find or make another skull. I carved a skull in ebony but it wasn't right. I found a little plastic skeleton (anatomically correct, partially articulated), but it wasn't quite right either. I molded the skull but cut-off the lower jaw from the casting to make it more like the key-fob skull. Though it still was not perfect I felt this one would work.
So this piece is a re-made version of the stolen work with a slightly larger size skull and naturally different piece of limestone. The skull sans jawbone (i.e. - 'muted') is mounted under glass in a black linen shadowbox cut into the limestone. The naturally cleft surface of the limestone is covered in a natural aged algae patina to echo the age of times past. The fitted blood-red dot of glass and the energetic golden grinder cuts to suggest the idea of 'the quick and the dead'.
There is an exhibit (DAY OF THE DEAD) later this year I'll submit the work to so I can share my 'selfie' again.
see the post of three years ago after the theft:

Packard Patricia pickup
Chris Coleman
Former Test Driver & Mechanic at Automotive Industry (2007–2008
What were the original reasons for Chevrolet coming out with the El Camino?
The El Camino, and other similar vehicles, like the Ford Ranchero, Subaru BRAT, Dodge Rampage and others, were designed to offer car-like comfort, performance and convenience, with the cargo capability of a light truck. Three of the forerunners to this were the Packard Patrician pickup, the Chevrolet Cameo and the Dodge Sweptline pickups.
1957 Dodge Sweptline with tailfins
Chevrolet Cameo Fleetside
The El Camino was based on the full-sized Impala originally, and was enormous. The low ground clearance and hefty weight made it a poor choice as a pickup. Most owners purchased them for styling reasons, especially with the cat eye taillights and horizontal tail fins.
1959 Chevrolet El Camino
Later, Chevrolet downsized the El Camino and based it on the Chevelle/Malibu, where it remained until it was discontinued.
1968 El Camino SS
With nothing in the rear, other than an empty bed, it was difficult to make it competitive as a muscle car, since the weight distribution was heavily biased towards the front.
Also, the bed used curved sheet metal in many places, to accommodate the rounded body panels, and this wasn’t a good fit with common pickup cargo, like plywood, hay bales and crates.
With the passenger compartment realistically holding two people, it was worthless as a family car, while a station wagon version of the Chevelle would be perfect. These things made it an odd fit with a very limited customer base.
Holden Ute, from Australia
Paradoxically, in Australia, cars like these, called Utes (short for utility) were and are extremely popular. Australia has a more rural environment and remote ranches and homes, which make this type of vehicle perfect for them. However in a more suburban setting, like the U.S., the El Camino was always an odd choice.
1972 Ford Ranchero - Based on the Torino
Dodge Rampage
Dodge Rampage, built on the K-car platform
Subaru Baja
Today, no one makes a ute for the American market, but that doesn’t mean these may not resurface from time to time. As kids grow up and nests are emptied, we may once again see a demand for the ubiquitous El Camino, Ford Ranchero and others.

Co-op with Coop
On April 1st, I had a visit with the benefactor of my longest friendship Mark Cooper or “Coop” as I called him back in the day. It was April Fools, but this is not a prank and the only fool was me for not snapping a picture to mark the occasion. Coop and I met sometime around 1979 on the neighborhood streets of what was then called Lakeview Heights. Growing up in the late 70s and early 80s was one of those amazing times that, looking back on it, I feel so fortunate to have been a part of. Our upbringing in those days has become solidified in modern pop culture by way of memes, pictures and stories from those who survived that time. Depictions of kids jumping their BMX bikes over a rickety, hand-made ramp while 6 or 7 hapless friends lay prone beside the warped, plywood slope-- like decommissioned school busses in an Evil Knievel motorcycle stunt-- resonate with our generation on a deep level. How about the memories of what water tasted like coming out of a garden hose and the reminder to let the water run for a good 30 seconds on a hot day or else you got a mouthful of 90 degree plastic hose-flavored H2O? Mark lived one street over from me in those days and the shenanigans we found ourselves in never ended. We honestly didn’t stop from sun up to sun down (except for the occasional dinner bell or call of nature). All the kids in the neighborhood had each other’s phone numbers memorized back then there were no smartphone contact pages. The prefix was all the same and Mark’s # and mine were only 14 numbers apart. His number ended in 5-7-1-1 and mine in 5-7-2-5 and it wasn’t uncommon in those days to know your best friend’s number better than your own. From street hockey matches with anyone that walked by and wanted to join mid-game, to playing tag and kick-the-can in each other’s yards, knocking the pickets out of our fences when we used them as make-shift soccer nets, to pranking unsuspecting families with nicky nicky nine doors and running onto the road and mooning oncoming cars -- there was never a lack of crazy things for a bunch of 6-10 year olds to do back in those days. We would ride our bikes everywhere we could and usually that was to the local corner store, Grant’s Market, or a little further down the road to the laundromat or video store. Westside Video Classics was THE place to rent all the latest movies and games back in the day.
If it wasn’t movies or wrestling, Coop and I bonded over hockey cards (playing scramble, knock-downs and closeys), making comedy tapes on our cassette recorders (we thought we were a regular Bob & Doug McKenzie duo) and later on playing video games. At my house I introduced him to the two full-sized arcade machines my dad had bought from a co-worker and put in our rumpus room as he liked to call it: Super Soccer and Wild Cycle and then later games like Raid on Isram and Cosmic Cruncher on the Commodore Vic-20.
At his house we played endless rounds of Ring King and Super Mario Bros. 2 on his NES as well as countless hours of board games like Crokinole, Rummoli and Crossbows & Catapults. We had the definitive 80s childhood: trick-or-treating together in our shared neighborhood for years at Halloween time, sleepovers almost every other weekend, birthday parties and endless summer nights of hi-jinx. We shared in common younger siblings that tried to do everything we did at that time and rivalries with our respective kin that gave us even more to relate to. Sometime in the early 80s, Coop tattooed the drywall on his bedroom wall, in permanent marker no less, with the inscription: Best Friend Bobby since 1980. An homage to a friendship that, at that time, was a few years on but looking back now has been a friendship that has endured nearly 45 years. To take a page out of his playbook, I mocked my 7up sign to display the following:
I am getting away from my story. All of this to say that Mark came by to meet the family and check out my game room, but became quickly overwhelmed with it all. He was audibly giggling from the moment I greeted him at the front door to the moment we made our way down to the ‘Arcade’ and then back up to the kitchen to sit and catch up. His energy was infectious and I knew that we would likely not be doing a lot of gaming on this visit but rather getting reacquainted and spinning shared experiences from those good old neighborhood days.
Fast forward a week and we got together again and this time we ended up spending a good hour re-living some of those nostalgic times down @ 8bit Bobby’s. Coop’s one pre-visit request was that he wanted to play some Raid on Isram. To make this possible, I had to hunt through various backups to find my rom files for the Vic-20 and then figure out how to interface it with my current Hyperspin setup on my M.A.M.E. Arcade machine. After some tweaking I managed to get it setup and somewhat playable. The game itself is nothing earth shattering and is essentially a watered-down clone of the popular game Scramble, but, to a couple of 40 somethings reliving the times when they were likely in the 10 and under category, it was pretty neat to play again. The object of the game is literally survival. You shoot a laser cannon and drop bombs on enemy ground-to-air missiles and fuel refineries. It starts out scrolling left to right in a pretty wide open playfield but as the game wears on the air-to-ground missiles begin taking off and you begin to enter narrow tunnels with what can only be described as flying spiders coming at you. You can shoot off the stalactites that make the caves a tight squeeze but if you are too busy contending with them you are sure to get hit by the unpredictable and weird trajectory of these squiggle-like arachnid creatures. Raid on Isram is a “one and done” game meaning you have one life to get as far as you can and then that’s it. No extra lives, no continues, nothing. THIS was the epitome of gaming back in the days before infinite lives, cheat codes and save states were a thing.
From here we moved on to some co-op games starting with Golden Axe. We got swiftly through the first two stages cracking heads and laying the boots to the little magic-stealing gnomes that appear between checkpoints only to have the game freeze without warning. I have played through several of these games and never had this happen before. It was a definite headscratcher but we were undeterred. We continued our co-operative game play with the Midway classic, Rampage. Just like back in the old days when we used to stomp around the neighborhood, we joined forces to destroy buildings, smash tanks and defeat digitized army men as George and Ralph the giant, Kong-like Ape and Wolfman respectively. We played through 19 “days” or cities and after each one we wondered how long the game went on for. After a quick Wikipedia search it would appear that the game has 128 days that, when completed, repeat 5 more times. It was good to know that this was a game we were not likely to finish in one sitting. Maybe a future stream event or something? Pictured below are our two protagonists: Coop & Bobby and in true fashion I am showing my age and lack of tech savviness by being unsure as to where I am supposed to be looking at the camera. I suppose a goofy picture is better than no picture at all.
This game room of mine and friends like Coop remind me how much of a role nostalgia plays in my life. The way certain sights or sounds can just transport a person back in time. I know we are not the same kids who hid in the willow trees on the neighbor’s property, cut through a field and hopped a fence into each others’ backyards with the ease and agility of an Olympic vaulter, and had water balloon fights while eating home-made popsicles to beat the summer heat, but for the hour or so that we connected tonight, we were transported back to a much simpler time. I leave you with the meme pasted below (which came up in conversation during his visit and I think really hits in the gut). Even though we can’t go back to that moment and give it the recognition and closure it deserved we can at least reminisce about what it was like just hanging out and teaming up against whatever was out there. Co-op with Coop 4 EVA.

Plywood Flooring vs. Other Flooring Options
To fully understand the benefits of plywood flooring, it is essential to compare it with other popular flooring options available in the market. Let's explore how plywood flooring fares against hardwood flooring, laminate flooring, and tiles.
Plywood Flooring vs. Hardwood Flooring: The Battle of Aesthetics
While both plywood and hardwood flooring offer a natural and elegant look, there are some significant differences to consider. Plywood flooring provides similar aesthetics to hardwood but at a fraction of the cost. Additionally, plywood is more resistant to moisture and temperature changes, making it suitable for areas prone to high humidity, such as kitchens and bathrooms. Hardwood flooring, on the other hand, requires more maintenance and may be prone to warping or shrinking in moisture-rich environments.
Plywood Flooring vs. Laminate Flooring: Balancing Cost and Durability
Laminate flooring has gained popularity due to its affordability and resemblance to natural wood. However, when compared to plywood flooring, it falls short in terms of durability. Plywood is more resistant to scratches, dents, and moisture, making it a better choice for areas with heavy foot traffic. Additionally, plywood can be sanded and refinished multiple times, allowing you to restore its original appearance. Laminate flooring, on the other hand, cannot be refinished and may need replacement after a certain period.
Plywood Flooring vs. Tiles: A Battle of Practicality
Tiles have long been a popular choice for homeowners due to their durability and ease of maintenance. However, plywood flooring offers several advantages over tiles. Plywood provides a warmer and more comfortable surface to walk on, especially during the colder months. It also offers better sound insulation, reducing noise transmission between floors.

Market Dynamics
Growing Demand for Formaldehyde-based Resins in Construction
The construction industry, with its large requirement for formaldehyde-based resins, is the major driver of formaldehyde. These resins, and especially urea-formaldehyde (UF), phenol-formaldehyde (PF), and melamine-formaldehyde (MF), have significant applications in manufacturing wood products such as plywood, particle board, and medium-density fiberboard (MDF). Increased global urbanization and infrastructure development is resulting in considerable growth of the construction industry, thus promoting engineered wood products using formaldehyde-based glue. Due to the high degree of cross-linking, these resins possess high mechanical strength and resistance to moisture and are thus well suited for use in flooring, cabinetry, and furniture.
Increasing preference for green products when constructing buildings also goes up the demand since formaldehyde-based resins improve the performance features of the woods. The following is also increasing the market trend through dedicated investments in green building projects that advocate for energy efficiency and sustainable principles of construction. All these factors hence translate to firm production prospects for formaldehyde in the construction industry.
Shift towards formaldehyde-free alternatives
The shift towards formaldehyde-free alternatives presents a substantial restraint in the formaldehyde market. Increasing concern over health accruable to formaldehyde use in its use as a probable human carcinogen means that consumers and manufacturers have shifted to consider better alternatives. International regulatory authorities continue to establish higher standards and controls for formaldehyde releases across several consumer goods, such as furniture, flooring, and other construction materials. For this reason, several firms are pursuing a strategy of researching and procuring new, formaldehyde-free adhesives and resins suitable for efficient use while demonstrating comparable performance. This shift not only displaces conventional formaldehyde-based products but also introduces competition from new exciting materials that smart consumers will embrace. The growth of green chemistry and demand for eco-friendly solutions may limit the market growth of formaldehyde and force industry participants to change to remain effective in a new setting.
Innovations in eco-friendly formaldehyde alternatives
Innovations in eco-friendly formaldehyde alternatives present a promising opportunity for the formaldehyde market. There is a high demand for an environmentally conscious approach associated with an increase in consumer‘s concern about health. Chemists and formulators have been working on bio-based adhesives and resins with similar performance to those derived from formaldehyde but without the emission of toxic gases. These options can incorporate biodegradable polymers such as soy and starch, which can constitute viable bonding aids that are safe for humans and the environment. Other factors that lead to this trend are the global demand for better-quality, environmentally friendly products, such as the effective utilization of green building products in the construction industry and the extinction of gas-emitting vehicles in the automobile industry. Furthermore, governmental measures to support new sustainable products improve the market opportunities of the innovations. Through the adoption of these technologies, firms are holding access to new consumers and increasing competitiveness, enhancing the value of the formaldehyde market besides capturing the sustainable environment.

What is the actual thickness of half inch plywood?
Plywood is one of the most commonly used materials in construction and woodworking, praised for its versatility, strength, and cost-effectiveness. However, understanding plywood dimensions—especially the thickness—can sometimes be confusing, as the actual thickness of plywood often differs from the nominal, or listed, size. This discrepancy is particularly evident in half-inch plywood, a popular choice for various structural and non-structural projects.
1. What is Half-Inch Plywood?
Half-inch plywood is a type of plywood that is often labeled as 1/2-inch thick. This thickness is widely used in residential and commercial construction and is suitable for applications that require moderate strength without the extra weight and bulk of thicker plywood. However, while this plywood is marketed as half an inch thick, the actual measurement is often slightly less.
2. Understanding Nominal vs. Actual Thickness
Nominal thickness refers to the size that plywood sheets are marketed with, which makes it easy for buyers to identify general sizes. For example, you might see plywood listed as 1/4 inch, 1/2 inch, or 3/4 inch.
Actual thickness, however, is the true measurement of the sheet after it undergoes processing and finishing. The difference between nominal and actual sizes exists because of manufacturing processes like sanding and compression, which remove a small amount of material from the surface, leading to a slight reduction in thickness.
3. The Actual Thickness of Half-Inch Plywood
The nominal thickness of half-inch plywood is 0.5 inches. However, due to the finishing process, the actual thickness is usually around:
15/32 inches, or approximately 0.469 inches in most cases.
This slight reduction may seem minimal, but in construction, even minor variances can affect structural integrity, especially if multiple sheets are being used. It’s essential to measure the actual thickness when precision is required.
Common Thickness Conversions
Nominal ThicknessActual Thickness1/4 inch7/32 inches1/2 inch15/32 inches3/4 inch23/32 inches
Knowing these actual measurements can help ensure better fitting and minimize any adjustments that may be required during installation.
4. Why Does the Thickness Vary?
The difference between nominal and actual thickness in plywood occurs primarily due to the manufacturing processes, which involve:
Sanding: Plywood sheet size are sanded to create a smooth, consistent surface. This process removes a small amount of material from each side, reducing the thickness slightly from the nominal measurement.
Compression and Glue Application: When plywood layers, or plies, are bonded together, pressure is applied to compress the sheets. This compression, along with glue application, also contributes to a minor reduction in thickness.
Manufacturers often follow industry standards set by organizations like the American Plywood Association (APA), ensuring consistency in actual thickness across different brands, but it’s still advisable to confirm these dimensions before purchasing.
5. Common Uses for Half-Inch Plywood
Half-inch plywood is versatile and used for numerous applications that balance strength with weight. Here are some typical uses:
Wall Sheathing: Provides moderate structural support for walls and can be used in both interior and exterior applications.
Roof Decking: Often used in roofing projects where 1/2-inch plywood can support lighter loads and serve as a base for shingles.
Cabinetry and Shelving: Offers enough strength for cabinet backs, shelving, and other lightweight furniture.
Subflooring: Commonly used as an underlayment in flooring, particularly in residential projects where extreme load-bearing isn’t necessary.
For these applications, knowing the actual thickness helps in achieving a proper fit and maintaining structural integrity.
6. Choosing the Right Plywood Thickness for Your Project
Selecting the correct plywood thickness depends on several factors, including:
Load-Bearing Requirements: For projects that require greater strength, such as subflooring or load-bearing walls, consider thicker plywood.
Weight Concerns: Half-inch plywood offers a good balance between strength and weight, making it ideal for projects where excessive weight could be a drawback, like cabinetry and roof decking.
Cost Efficiency: Thicker plywood is generally more expensive. For non-load-bearing applications, thinner plywood can be more cost-effective.
Q1: What is the actual thickness of half-inch plywood? The actual thickness of half-inch plywood is usually around 15/32 inches.
Q2: Why is the actual thickness of plywood less than the nominal size? The reduction in thickness occurs due to sanding and compression during the manufacturing process.
Q3: Can I find half-inch plywood that measures exactly 0.5 inches? Some specialty plywood manufacturers may offer sheets with exact nominal measurements, but most commercially available half-inch plywood measures around 15/32 inches.
Q4: What is half-inch plywood used for? Half-inch plywood is commonly used in wall sheathing, roof decking, cabinetry, and subflooring, providing a balance between strength and manageability.
Q5: Is half-inch plywood strong enough for flooring? While it can be used in subflooring as an underlayment, 1/2-inch plywood may not be suitable for primary load-bearing floors, where thicker sheets like 5/8 or 3/4 inch are often preferred.
9. Conclusion
Understanding the actual thickness of half-inch plywood, which is typically around 15/32 inches, is essential for precision in construction and woodworking projects. The discrepancy between nominal and actual measurements stems from the manufacturing process, particularly sanding and compression, and it affects plywood thickness across all sheet sizes.
Half-inch plywood offers a versatile solution for projects that require moderate strength, such as wall sheathing, cabinetry, and subflooring. When planning a project, consider both the actual plywood sheet size and thickness to ensure it meets the necessary specifications for your intended application. This knowledge can help avoid fitting issues, reduce material waste, and contribute to a higher-quality finished product.
