Toy chest before we deliver it to the grandkid. Modified a @melissaanddougtoys chest with custom #cnc #heraldry so he can display his art in the magnetic shield/frame. @sideshowami did a great job decorating it with colored #ink

Resurfacing the bed of my #shapeoko #cnc is always bittersweet. All the shadows of previous projects making way for a #newstart. #maker

We now have a #manglepress for more #art shenanigans. @sideshowami asked me to fix it up for her studio and I was very happy to oblige. #maker #printmaking #novascotia #gears

Tearing down the old @rosscreek interactive donation box for parts. It was 5x as complicated as it needed to be but had a great time designing and building it with @nimblemanatee @eamonn_schwartz and @malachy.schwartz many years ago. #maker #arduino #artsmatter

A great day @rosscreek for their community #arts day. Ran the #printing station using my @provisionalpress and designs created on my #cnc. @sideshowami wrote poems for the guests based on the prompts of #joy #hope #light and #peace @destinytypewriter

Adapted from several designs found on YouTube. Thought I'd share with the community. #bookbinding #makersgonnamake #punchingcradle #lasercut

A million thanks to @monkeydreammonkeydo for this nifty punching cradle! I’ve been doing some book binding lately, and now my dream to accurately stab things is easily fulfilled. And when I’m all done, it folds flat and can neatly be stored for next time. . . . #bookbinding #punchingcradle #awl #makersgonnamake
