Made an Amish style yarn swift for my wife. Slots together and spins to let you rewind yarn from hank to ball or cake and back. Folds flat for storage. May want a box or bag to keep the pieces together.

Reclaimed messmate and homemade bee and linseed paste wax, mostly hand but some machine tools.

(Realised my post got eaten by the server roll back haha so here it is again)

A bit of déjà vu: I posted this a few days ago, but an upgrade mishap on the Mastodon instance ate a number of posts, so I’m sharing it again. Thanks for your patience!  

After 2 years of development, Nodalin is finally public.

Nodalin is a browser-based tool for creating generative graphics, real-time visuals, feedback systems, and audio-reactive art through a visual node-based workflow.

You can try it at:

I'd love to hear what you think and see what you create.

Made a little all-wood yarn swift for my wife. Is for rewinding yarn that comes as a hank (big circle) to a ball or vice versa. As it doesn't have to spin particularly fast, wood on wood with minimal contact and waxed surfaces is fine for light duty.

Reclaimed messmate and home made paste wax (linseed and bee). Mixture of hand and power tools.

Autotiling is working now!

I'm still unhappy with the transition between levels and it might look better without the edge tiles but maybe this will pay off in the future.

I also want to give a special thanks to #Merveilles

The aesthetics of Nodalin, its color palette, and even some of its philosophy were directly inspired by the amazing projects and people I've encountered there over the years. Watching creators build strange, beautiful, and deeply personal tools gave me the confidence to keep working on my own.

I might never have considered building it without seeing all these people making their own weird tools

Realized that I need to step up my income bringing side projects now that my freelance contract has ended. Started working on porting the wheel controller from my 15 year old racing game to Unity for release on the asset store. I really enjoy using Unity as it was intended to be used, before all the bloat came.

Side note: Interesting that mastodon has better video support than BlueSky (where I post most of this more promotional stuff).
