@smartereveryday I hate that I can read this.

@FrenchGuyCookin "The bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so."

Finally used my lathe to do something useful! I had drilled a hole in the wrong place, so I turned a plug to fill it.

@WilliamOsman Really big shoes so your phone will land on your shoes instead of the ground

@WilliamOsman A very tall robot that follows you around with your phone on a tether so if you drop it, it won't make it to the ground

First print off the new Prusa Mini! A working extruder motor makes a big difference. First layer height was way off here, but that's fixed now.

@MarkRober I'd want a rock the same size, shape, and weight as a baseball. No need to reinvent things that already exist.

1. Projects are fun
2. Projects are a lot of work
3. Fiberglass insulation is the WORST

I made a 3x5 card holder for my desk!

I should probably finish cleaning it up and maybe paint or seal... We'll see.

Amazing how one day projects always seem to turn into two day projects.

@smartereveryday You left out the most important reason: flags are supposed to be seen from far away! Small details that may seem cool in the design process will blend into an unappealing blur at the top of a flag pole.

[Andrew Combs @ofthedove]

I made a shelf! It can hold things! But not many things, the glue isn't dry yet... But at least the phone won't be on the floor now!

This is what an out-feed table made of cardboard and optimism looks like.

I’ve learned many things about plastic injection molding this year. This Reasonably Sound episode by @mikerugnetta is worth your time. I learned about chemistry, history, economics, consumerism and environmental science all while thinking about sound. Have a listen @reasonablysnd

[Andrew Combs @ofthedove]

@smartereveryday @mikerugnetta @reasonablysnd This looks fantastic, thanks for the recommendation! Can't wait to listen.

@smartereveryday Guns? I'm hoping for guns.

Built a little ramp hoping it would help our foster dog with leg pain. Obviously the dog refuses to use it. Tbf, it is pretty steep, but I ran out of 2x4s so there's not much I can do about that.

Putting my ESP in the oven feels weird, but at least now I know that you can get WiFi inside the oven!
