Post a picture and description of anything you are working on this month at the 'Space here!
It can be anything from a small craft project to a large CNC router project to building a table to 3D printing to a science experiment and so much more. There are lots of people doing cool things at DMS all the time, but most of us don’t get to see it. Post it here and share the interesting things you are doing this month!
Posting here helps not only promote Dallas Makerspace, but could inspire others to make something. It will also help PR post a monthly look at what can be done here on a blog post (with attribution to each maker of course).
edit to add: I obviously need to work on placement a little bit (lol?); but, overall I was impressed with how well some colors “pop” on the gray colored microfiber cloth! (I’d still recommend white fabric for most situations; but, it’s neat to see how the gray looks with different colors and all… )
Thanks @CaryF300! I am really enjoying using the Dye Sub equipment! I bought two blank mugs from @chuckcage & @Audra just before Christmas (thanks again, y’all!) and made gifts for my daughter and son in law for Christmas, and I also used the equipment to put my grandson’s names on the pillow cases that went with the body pillows that I bought them for Christmas. They all loved their personalized gifts!
My son and I turned a few Manhattan pens today including our first acrylic. I like the way they turned out. I bought the cocobolo from Rockler. It was an ugly piece of wood until I cut into it. I think it has some of the most interesting character of any cocobolo I’ve seen.
I also turned a little bowl from a piece of silver maple I found in the woodshop stash behind the table saws. It has not yet had a finish applied. I’ll probably finish it with Tung oil.
Took @Webdevel’s Field Notes class, had to bail early, finished stitching at home. This is my field notes cover. There are many like it but this one is mine.
p.s., that’s a several-hundred-dollar pen, since it was a freebie from the parents’ association at my kid’s university.
Recently bought a “new to me” truck which I’m slowly restoring back to stock condition. Replaced the fandangled cold-air intake with the stock air box, and discovered I was missing a mounting bracket.
Cut a plate with the PlasmaCAM, drilled some holes, and now I have a mounting plate. I might try using the new break to create the step down that the original one has (after getting trained up on that), but for now this works great.
Using @apparently_weird and @bitta’s clever fieldnotes pattern from the leather-n-lasers class as a starting point, I put together a version of my own with some laser- etched art and a longer/thicker pen holder.
Is that plaque MDF routed on our MultiCAM?
I guess their mascot is a Polar Bear (schools, once upon a time, made this sort of thing VEEERY evident, but I am unable to confirm this from their web page)?
