Making some hanging bicycle racks

I'm doubling it up and painting with exterior semi gloss. Also, adding supports and castor wheels on the bottom.

When I have guests staying it'll need to be outside

Some progress with this shoji screen.
I will design some custom hinges and 3d print those next.
This is all from bits of scrap wood I had leftover.
Finally finished my live edge shelf just before the holidays, stoked how it came out. More details in this reddit post i just made:

I've started making a kumiko Shoji screen

This kind of woodwork takes a lot of time and patience, and that's the best part, it's kinda meditative.

Been building a lot of stuff with my hands and machines in the last month or so.

Here's my first attempt at crafting with a CNC: it's for an upcoming installation that I'm also working on.

Took a lot of measuring, CAD work, and cutting 2 sheets of 4x8 plywood stock on a large shopbot.

I learned so much making this. From how to make slot mechanisms, to the joys of tolerance. I did not enjoy working in inches or as a new friend calls them "freedom units".
I hit my first setback in the guitar build. I was probably a bit too aggressive with the settings here on the planer and broke one of the sides.

More timber is on order, I will start working on the fretboard this week instead.
The top and back of the guitar are finished now.

I will start the sides tomorrow.

Hopefully I can make some time to progress this, it would make a nice Xmas gift to myself tbh 😆
I starting making a t shirt last night.

I measured myself and make some patterns in good olde autocad

It was a new years resolution of mine a few years back to learn how to tailor, I'm just getting into it now 😅
how can I put these spare batteries to good use?
Templates and routers, two of my favorite things


Under shelf lighting and controller pretty much done just waiting on a diffuser before final assembly!
Back to this kind of building for a while 🐸
Omggggggg perfect fittttttt

IM SO STOKED 🤯😆🤪
Template done! Walls are horribly not straight but did okay job with the scribe. Transferring to 2inch walnut slab today 😬😬😬😅
Before and after a little sandpaper magic ✨

Making some progress on the cupboard bit by bit. I started using a power tool on bigger surfaces, but then its sanding attachment broke 🙄 Waiting for a new one to be delivered, so in the meantime I'm sanding the parts that can only be done by hand.
lets go! get in here and start making! (and casting about it!)

If you don't know much about construction you might be surprised to learn that brushing concrete with a sweeping brush is a standard finish.

Here I'm brushing a narrow section with a small brush.

The sounds are good 😂
Reminder: if you can't post because your aren't a member of /makerspace just DM me and I'll get it sorted!

Brave new world!
I needed to do a small bit of plastering but didn't want to spend €50 for a hawk, so quickly drew up and printed a handle and screwed it to some plywood.

Works great
I want to keep seeing what you are building!

Reply here if you want to keep posting in /makerspace once new channel rules drop, and I'll add you as a member!

Then shill me automated ways to handle this because I want anyone to be able to post regardless of membership - makers don't need no gates!
Not enough people talk about Home Warranty's being an absolute scam. 😅

Shady sign up and renewal tactics. Weaseling out of coverage wherever they can. 😡

Wild that this isn't more discussed!
Railings were a piece of cake! For the middle poles, I screwed a board below the decking to the closest beam for sturdiness then drove 6” GRKs through the base plate. Metal cut like butter with a skillsaw. Insane how much a contractor will charge for a deck with railings
Sure, building is fun, but have you ever *finished*?

(This applies to coding as well)
