@GuildOfMakers A5 the colder weather rather than the dark nights affect me more #MakersHour

@FoxSheltonBrent @GuildOfMakers Tried this and didn't cut any limbs off. With hindsight I should have had better protective clothing..... 🤔 #MakersHour

@GuildOfMakers A3. Most things where it is a group course due to Imposter Syndrome ☹️ I'm better if I just teach myself or have a very small group #MakersHour

[Chris Blood @RischDesigns]

@GuildOfMakers A2. I wish I'd read the questions before hand.., I'm sure I have but cannot think of an example at the minute #MakersHour

@SueArcher6 @GuildOfMakers That sounds like a line from Police Squad!- apart from his head falling off, the victim was in mint condition #MakersHour

@SueArcher6 @GuildOfMakers Found the first video attempt - better one in the Etsy store 😉 #MakersHour

[Chris Blood @RischDesigns]

@GuildOfMakers Good #MakersHour again. Just starting with Etsy and adding new items as we go along https://t.co/6UVQwtgB5t

@GuildOfMakers A5 definitely a Spock which sometimes impacts on my creative side. I can visualise what I want but don't always get there #MakersHour

@GuildOfMakers Collaboration is a massive help at the Repair Cafe #MakersHour

@GuildOfMakers A4. I mainly work on my own ( unless it's my day job ) Collaboration, 2nd opinions, or just the company, are a big positive with almost all aspects of what I do. #MakersHour

[Chris Blood @RischDesigns]

@GuildOfMakers A3 fingers, hands, eyes, brain - the main exercise I do is too keep using them and challenging them #MakersHour

[Chris Blood @RischDesigns]

@GuildOfMakers A2 when somebody really likes something I've made, it's a massive boost and (almost) defeats the imposter syndrome. #MakersHour

[Chris Blood @RischDesigns]

@SueArcher6 @GuildOfMakers At least you walked away with only bruises ( and a massive headache called an insurance claim ). Glad you're both ok👍 #MakersHour

[Chris Blood @RischDesigns]

@GuildOfMakers A1. Hi I'm Chris and I've been making more things with the laser cutter #MakersHour
