@[email protected] Q2: Outside of what you’d describe as your main making, do you make anything else? Your own clothes? Bread? Cakes? Stuff for the house/garden?

A2: I’m quite versatile with DIY. I’ll do ‘basic’ plumbing (I don’t touch central heating!), ‘basic’ electrics (fitting lights etc), brickwork, paving, guttering and once I ended up on the roof fixing a tile that had slipped.

Maybe Hyde sits on his arse and does nothing?

Yep. It used to be about 5pm, end of a working day.

Now I might finish at 11 am as I have other things to do, aiming to restart at 3pm, but then I don't get back to it and forget for a few days.

There isn't the workshop routine anymore.

I was also thinking Dr Jekyll and Sister Hyde, but that a whole other different question!

Reviewing some other #MakerHour A1 replies here I see I'm not alone in my festive ambivalence 😂

Today we went to the community workshop,
And painted an IBC container.
Did the laundry for Mum,
And brought in the bins at work.
Tried to figure out a better satnav location in the car,
Cussing product designers all the way.
Made sure there was access to emergency stuff in the car,
And got the jump back charged up.
It has gotten really cold this evening,
Heating turned up twice already!
Hosted #MakerHour,
It was really good and busy.
Now exhausted (and cold),
And need to unwind in bed.

@[email protected] @makershour #MakerHour For fun, one little job at a time. Sometimes that job is a fairly complex bit of planning, but as long as it results in lots of simple little jobs...

Work-wise, it's the whole spectrum. I've had a huge project regarding a new-build school on the go for a few years, and I have lots of 30 second fixes every day, and everything in between.

@Maker_of_Things @makershour I think I am more of a Scotty. #MakerHour

I don't think I need to go back in time just yet to meet Mat Irvine, he was one of my childhood heros and creator of the K9 robot as well as many space special effects. Would also be good to meet Wilfred Makepeace Lunn for similar reasons.
