I finally posted the video for #machining this #honingjig. I look forward to #sharptools. Video link in my profile!

It’s that season again! After a few years of experimenting, this is still my favorite way to label plants. The laser engraving doesn’t fade in the sun like sharpie ink and I don’t fret about losing the popsicle sticks in the dirt because the just rot away anyway. The second photo shows my engraving ‘fixture’. I cut the outlines in the cardboard first. Then I use the same origin on the laser cutter when engraving. It goes by pretty quickly. Ya’ll planning to grow stuff this year?

I finished making my #honingjig (cutting the video now). I finally have some sharp tools, which is pretty nice! This is cutting maple.

I got some nichrome wire and threw together this hot wire cutter to make my weird memory foam pillow shorter. I dare say, it is the perfect height now! Is anyone else here a bit of a princess-and-the-pea about pillows? I can’t believe how nice of a foam fillet I got. Hot wire cutter might be a great option for any of you making custom mattresses for your camper build.

The smallest #bathroomremodel Now all our mess is hidden in this medicine cabinet rather than blanketing all horizontal surfaces. (The weird recessed mirror must have been a quick hack from the previous owner)

Something about how light the chips are and how they seem to get statically charged and attracted to the spindle makes this chip tornado extra floaty. #machiningporn #hdpe
