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)

Anyone built their own outdoor shower?
Dismantling this chair took roughly 6 hours.

I know this because in the meantime I did all these things:
- listened to a weekly @blablainvest podcast - 2 hours
- listened to a true crime podcast - 1 hour
- participated in a brain storming session for work - 2 hours
- watched a YouTube video - 1 hour

Wonder how long it will take to upholster it. I'll keep track 😏

Do you listen to anything in particular while doing handiwork?
I made this piece today at my first day of pottery class! I haven’t touched clay since high school (and I don’t remember liking it that much?) but this was so much fun to make 😁
Hello! I’m new to this channel, and it’s great to meet everyone! I’m passionate about crocheting and love working on 3D sculptural projects using whatever materials I can get my hands on. My favorite projects are the ones that are not only creative but also functional. I’m excited to be here and can’t wait to share ideas, see everyone’s work, and get inspired by what you’re all building!

Here’s some past crafting I’ve done that’s Farcaster themed! Cat toy and the prototype for a patch to put on a tote bag!
Picked this WIP scarf up after over a year. (Was busy knitting baby things for my niece!) I’m almost done with it, but had a falling out with the person it was intended for and they are no longer knit-worthy. 🥲
I managed to find a spare hour to continue the guitar build
Just stepped into a Home Depot. I forgot how much I love this place!
This wasn't on the registry, but they loved it
Super niche, but does anyone know if a program exists where I can load a model that I wanna 3d print and it can tell me if it’ll be stable or not?

I wanna make a couple things like a stand for my glasses but I don’t want it to topple over immediately haha
spending way too much time on my computer and not enough in the shop.

started this for my parents months ago, in the home stretch now. shame it doesnt match their decor *at all* 😅
Finally finished my metal sewer coasters! It was a long project but happy with how they turned out
A little functional 3D print I made yesterday for my old car.

A small support for the battery clamp as this battery is smaller than the stock one.

The engine bay is grubby I know 😭
I will be repainting/ restoring this old thing soon.
