Post a picture & 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 at Dallas Makerspace 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 or other social media (with attribution to each maker of course).

We bought a sheet of coroplast, some blue spray paint and some vinyl. Then dusted off the Cricut to make a (near) exact replica of the official yard sign that won’t be available for another 3 weeks.
Greetings from the Sewing Room. Today was a prep day for the upcoming class: Make an Awesome Quilt Motorsports. These quilts will feature a choice of muscle car or motorcycle—no flowers, leaves, bunnies, or butterflies. Just a lot of vrooom……
With Fall on my mind, I decided to make a copper maple leaf. Kind of a Blacksmithing (copper smithing?) project: while I used several of my Blacksmithing tools (including forging the chisels a while back), all the work was done cold.
This awesome quilt is almost done, it just needs the binding to be finished! This student has done a fantastic job and this was her first quilt! Well done💪IMG_3123|375x500
Yet another flight of stairs, I make more stairs than anything else in my workshop.
Although I have a workshop full of machinery I can and have made flights of stairs with just a hand held router.
Hopefully I will get some pics of the fitted flight.
This one took 3 days and some cunning geometry to make.
This is a custom knife handle for a friend who is a bridge player and knife collector . It started with a commercial knife blank. I designed handle scales in CAD and cut them from polyester pearl slabs on the Nomad CNC . I made the guard in the sherline mill. The logo and name engravings were filled with colored resin and finished after hardening . The handle scales were finished by hand in the plastics shop and I made the leather sheath as well. I will be putting up classes on each step of this later in the fall.
I profile my handles on the belt grinder, but would definitely like to learn how to do the guard and resin inlay handle work on the mill/cnc. cool stuff. THanks
Basically learned how to make a box in the thunder laser class, then I made one on my own and decorated it up to carry my glassworks items around in. can’t wait to make more things!! Thanks to Burt for all his patience!!!
