Q1: Hi, Introduce yourself as if you were a film super villain, who would be your superhero nemesis?

Q2: As Makers, Crafters, and Creative folks, we all need a bit of time out, be that reading, films, music, gaming, cosplay, what have you. Do you look for something that actively involves your creativity as the subject, or do you avoid it for the escapism? Tell us about it.

Q3: Does your making combine well with food? If not, how could you make it edible, and what fancy name might you give it on a ‘posh restaurant’ menu?

Q4: If you were to go travelling, and took one of your creations to show people what you can do, what would you take and why that one?

Q5: Do you have a mascot, companion, stuffie, pet, etc. that keeps you company while you are working on a project? Share a photo if you like.

Building the table top took most of the time. I designed a jig for the milling cutter with my friend and 3D-printed it.

The second part was preparing the planks to the right size and thickness.

A few weeks ago, I got some oak planks from a local farmer. Over a couple of weekends, I built several garden furniture pieces. Here's a gallery with the result. 🪵

First part: Rack for the table and the benches ⚒️

While I was away the makerspace had an open day, and they made some posters showing off some of the projects made by members. In the metalwork area, the poster just shows my projects, with the marking gauge, marking knife, and tap follower that I made pictured.

Today I walked to the GP's,
Where I had some bloods taken.
Then I put tools in the car,
And we went to the Community Workshop.
I helped clean and tidy a bad corner of the workshop,
And then we have a quick meeting.
Bought two mini rice cookers from Lidl,
They are so good that I wanted spares.
Suddenly lost all my spoons,
And had to go and sleep for a while.
Watched a few videos,
And read for a bit.
Joined in #MakersHour,
It was a good fun evening.
But very tired now,
And also far too hot.
Amser gwely,
#NosDa.

@MakersHour@cupoftea.social @makershour@a.gup.pe A5: Probably a big ass CNC machine. Or a metal lathe to make more stuff from aluminum and such. 😁 #MakersHour

@MakersHour@cupoftea.social @makershour@a.gup.pe A4: Mostly it fills me with pride and joy. I am happy when something is „done“. Well, you know the dilemma of „when is it really done?“, right? let’s say when I stop working on it and move it from the workshop to another kinda permanent place. 😅 #MakersHour

@MakersHour@cupoftea.social @makershour@a.gup.pe A3: I like all the makes from other makers. Well almost all? But mostly yes. There are some things I‘d love to have myself sure. And if it is in my possibilities, I will try to recreate it for myself. 😄 There are several makers who did a B1 Battle droid and a K2SO from Star Wars. I would love to have those for my room. 😎 #MakersHour

@MakersHour@cupoftea.social @makershour@a.gup.pe A2: I work mainly from my basement. There I have two rooms. One for the dirty stuff and one for the not quite as dirty stuff. 😄 #MakersHour

That's ok, you can always read through and catch up later.

@MakersHour@cupoftea.social @makershour@a.gup.pe A5) definitely the Maslow CNC!

A3) A retired neighbour showed me his custom tennis ball throwing machine. He got a 3D printer at 70+ years and built this thing, including control electronics, housing and everything. Absolute clean an nice execution. It was a pleasure to get an explanation on the thing and seeing him so proud of his creation. I want to be like him, still building stuff, learning new things and having fun at 70+

Edit: ...and Tim Hunkins and his work obviously.

Thank you all for a lovely #MakersHour. I really missed it last week, but, you know, holidays and stuff.
See you all again next week.
