You have been turning some beautiful pieces. What do you do with them when then are finished?

I’m just a beginner so I wouldn’t attempt to sell anything until I get better at it. So far they are slated for family gifts so that the flaws can be easily forgiven

Thank you! That’s very kind of you to say so 
Gunning for an Emmy for Outstanding Production Design here… 
but if not, at least I’ll have something cool for Family Game Night 
This was for Retropalooza last weekend and their Family Feud segment.
(The real deal, of course )

I have limited space in our Colorado cabin, and I use my cast iron skillets a lot. They always seem to be left on the stovetop, cluttering things up, so I forged a rack to hang them on the wall and get them out of the way.

Love that forged rack. And bonus points for the aebleskiver skillet

I make them every few weeks. Yummy.
For those who don’t know, ableskiver are Danish spherical pancakes which are kind of a cross between pancakes and popovers in texture. I like mine with homemade blueberry preserves.

So @Azalaket asked me to take over a project to build an embedded controller for the dust collection system(s) in the wood shop. The idea is that in addition to the flashing light that folks can ignore, a loud siren will go off when the controller is full and the system will send emails to people Andrew selects to notify them.
A member may then temporarily turn off the siren with the understanding is that they are expected to empty the bin if they do so. An email will go to the same people letting them know who has turned off the siren.
Rather then try to create our own sensor for this system, I decided to modify the existing Oneida-air Dust Sentry system
I reverse engineered the sensor and added an opto coupler circuit (embedded in epoxy) to allow for the embedded system to connect to the sensor with either 5V or 3.3V logic. The full project is being documented on our wiki. So if at any point in the future additional features are required, anyone can perform the upgrades.

That table has what I think of a mid century modern look
That’s exactly what I was going for. Thanks!

I supported an Indigogo campaign for a Monoprice Delta Mini 3D printer. Great machine (after tweaking) at a very low price (<$200, including mods). The cardboard shipping box was damaged in transit, and I added some taller legs to increase airflow underneath (the 1.0 machines tend to overheat, esp. when printing with ABS.
Long story short (too late!), I built a taller, wooden box for carrying my printer. It is:
- reusing the styrofoam packing from the original box
- tall enough for the new legs plus a spool of filament on top of the box
- much more robust than the torn cardboard box.

Old DMS truck is getting a facelift. We only have 30minutes a week to work on updating the truck. Expect more of a facelift by next homecoming. We started off strong - but aren’t quite sealing the deal if you ask me. Still it’s much more fun.
