QuixoticgeekA5 this is almost impossible for me to answer. I use so many different mediums I don't even know what I'd say is "not my own medium". And I appreciate that's a cop out nul answer. Sorry.
A4 I'd probably go for my sewing stuff. Needles, snips, thimble, pins. It's all very portable and minimal.
Janet@MakersHour A1 oh no! Missed it - so much going on here and Oh late home from work but I have been dressing a bear - it’s not finished yet but here is a progress picture from her fitting earlier today. #PartyDress #MakersHour #HandSewing
A3 aside from the obvious of clamps. I could really use a better selection of chisels, different sizes, shapes,.etc... I really only have the bare minimum currently.
A2 I have a set of three chisels I for €5, and they are utter crap. I really only keep them around for things like opening paint cans. Utter waste of money.
A1 well this week I'm hobbling around on crutches, which has really screwed up my plans for making anything this week. And then this evening I missed makershour as I was helping replumb the makerspace. As much as I can help when I can't stand for very long.
Jeff Miller (orange hatband)@MakersHour Q5. Describe as in Alt Text a work by another maker, that is not in your medium. Why did you choose that?
A5. A giclée print framed for wall display showing the coastal hills, grass, flowers, cliffs and ocean near Big Sur, California, originally carved as a polychrome woodblock print in Japanese style and reproduced mechanically via art-print quality inkjet.
I visited Tom Killion's Point Reyes workshop after admiring his work in coffee table art book form, and this was the print we chose to buy. The artist said that he was pleased with the print process and that the larger scale worked well with his very detailed woodblock carving.
@MakersHour Q4 Five items of kit for a week-end? A4. Needle, threader, scissors, floss, felt. Or Needle, threader, floss, hoop, dishcloth.
@MakersHour Q3. More of in the kit? A3. More of the Clover needle threaders with a thread cutter opposite. They easily get damaged or lost.
@MakersHour Q2. Losing kit? A2. Most of my hand sewing kit is redundant or interchangeable, and I have lost a good number of needles, needle threaders, embroidery hoops, and even one project in progress. Working on a commute bus can do that.
Most dispensible-with? Pins, perhaps, because a basting stitch will usually serve.
