Build a patio
Patio done! Since it's completion we've enjoyed Wyatts first birthday, mothers day, fathers day and my 30th birthday party on this patio. A little work is needed to repair some bits but overall it is completed.
Repair Family Pocket Watch
Found this Pocket Watch in a relative’s house who passed away. It’s not worth much, but it’s a cool historical timepiece that has piqued my interest in watches in general. I would like to restore this bad boy to its former glory. I need some tools and some practice on other watches first.
Paint oysters for wedding favors for a friend
I sealed them using 1 coat of dish washer safe Mod Pudge on each side and then a clear acrylic spray sealer on both sides as well.
Master Cleanest 3D Printing
Great print, it held all my bit axes, 2 S19 and two S21 asic chips. Generating ≈ 2.3TH/s at ≈ 64w while output a 65°C crispy air to warm up toes upcoming winter.
Make cute clay figures
Used more colors and mixed clay together for new color creation
Make wall art
Project finished! Looks like expected 😄
Smelt metals
Technically speaking I'e accomplished my goal of smelting metals. Future goals should branch from this goal completion as there is much more to do with this project.
Build Chandigarh Chair
Looked at original Pierre Jeanneret PJ-SI-28-A Office Chairs that are for sale online to gather dimension information. After much searching, I found a dimensionally accurate Pierre Jeanneret PJ-SI-28-A Office Chair 3D Model on www.designconnected.com.
Tool organizer
Added a large center hole for the tap handle to sit in. This is now complete as I don't care to stain it or anything.
Build chicken coop
Added a roost for them to sleep on. This is the final addition to the chicken coop project.
Downstairs Leather Workshop
I want to turn the downstairs work area in my home into a leatherworking space. Completion looks like: The workspace is clean, has all of my tools arranged, has space for storing leather, and has useable space for a dyeing (wet) station and a working (dry) station. I would also like to get some of those interlocking foam mats for standing because the floor is concrete. How: Clean out space of existing garbage. Sanitize space. Organize existing tools. Measure the space and figure out where things will go. Create tool racks and leather storage as necessary. Install foam interlocking floor mats. Finally, transport and organize tools and leather from Henniker to Thornton.
Learn Masonry via carving soft white marble
For a while I have been interested in rocks and rock technology. It also seems like a great chance to learn to use the working tools of the profession such as the plumb, level, square, and compass. I honestly just had a really cool present idea that is hand carved from stone (A cube with characters etched on each side). To achieve this end goal there will be many milestones along the way.
Build storage shelves
Finished piling all my crap on the shelves
Wooden Bench
Done
