“Land of Enchantment” quilted wall hanging is complete! No pattern. Motivation was something loud, whimsical, with some clean lines. Used the decorative stitches on my computerized Brother sewing machine to showcase and not hide the quilting. For the first time, attempted a mitered corner binding.”

“So I went to a class this morning with Scott Hampton, who led a woodturning demonstration yesterday for the Silicon Valley Woodturners club, and we made the 3-corner boxes he demonstrated for us. Here’s mine. I had lots of help (thanks Jerry)!”

“— A large (13.5 inch diam.) Lazy Susan Serving Tray. Inside tray 12.75"Ø height 1.5 inches, total hight 2". Multiple woods: Walnut, Maple, Purple-Heart.
Cut the pieces and glued up at Maker Nexus. Then cut the rounds on the bandsaw using my bandsaw circle jig. Glued the top circle to the base circle. Since the Lathes at MN do not allow such a large radius, I finished it by turning and sanding at home on my ShopSmith using a faceplate. Cut the baseplate for the Lazy Susan mechanism from 7/16" Baltic Birch PWD on the Boss Laser. Finish is 3 coats Polyurethane Diamond Finish.”

DIY 3D Print info stand!
“Finally managed a working hinge and completed print. Hinge pin to outer spacing 0.4mm and using a long skirt (aka “Draft Shield”->Enabled in the slicer skirt and brim pane) helped immensely. Now I need to think about what to print next since I have a viable sign to use when I print things.”

“Not a pretty one but a good one,

“Finally got around to painting the numbers on the dice today, so figured I'd post this - both dice and holder were made at MakerNexus. The dice were done in Haley's dice class, the holder was just something I came up with after doing Woodshop 2 and wanting to use the band saw and drill press on my own.”
