@adafruit Oooh that looks handy! I'm going to make it!

[Ben Cowden @twenty7gears]

@jeremy_fielding I want to do that, but also I would like to just have that outfit ngl

[Ben Cowden @twenty7gears]

This really made my day!

[Scottacular @Scottcrates]

I don’t mean to brag, but I designed this.

I made a shaker for an Arduino-based robotic cocktail maker I'm working on, and it's cute! Still a work in progress, obviously. Eventually it'll be inside a suitcase.

[Ben Cowden @twenty7gears]

Heck yeah!

@MLE_Online If you ever need something cut, and I have the material, and you can wait a few days for it to get there from MA, let me know. I've got a tiny waterjet, 12"x12" up to 1" thick

[Ben Cowden @twenty7gears]

I made this proof of concept folded steel pendant lamp, and it came out nice! Going to make a larger one next.

[Ben Cowden @twenty7gears]

@spetku Hope you find the part you need!

[Ben Cowden @twenty7gears]

@spetku Oh make sure you check under "gas spring fittings", for some reason McMaster catalogues those differently. I spent hours once looking :p

[Ben Cowden @twenty7gears]

@BoingBoing OMG someone I never met put that song on a mix tape for me in the 90's and I drive across the country listening to it over and over and to this day I get tears in my eyes listening to it.

[Ben Cowden @twenty7gears]

@gurms @VikramParalkar More like DIE, I guess?

[Ben Cowden @twenty7gears]

@PennyRed Always Be My Maybe, maybe?

[Ben Cowden @twenty7gears]

@EMSL @McMasterCarr Thanks for the offer! I think my old one is useful enough though. The website is still miles better than pretty much every other retail site, so the catalog only gets used occasionally 🤗

[Ben Cowden @twenty7gears]

@qDot Wow! So that's where my occasional little bumps in viewers come from! Everything makes sense now.

[Ben Cowden @twenty7gears]

@EMSL @jeriellsworth Haha yep, that's my lollipop licker! I do miss those early Maker Faires. Giant nose-picking machines, intense strobe lights, a Bark-a-lounger chair with a plush dog joystick controller... Those were good days.

[Ben Cowden @twenty7gears]

@MLE_Online Everytime I make something for someone I basically go, "Here I made this. Let me show you all the mistakes I made and the embarrassing parts."
