Appreciate we've been quiet on here, but it's been a little busy.

I'm going in for surgery in a couple of weeks, and will have no use of my left arm for the six weeks after. This is to try and restore function after the RTA a few years ago.

Because we know this is coming, we've been busy clearing up a few projects here and at @leigh_hackspace. Streaming has had to pause while we do that, but have a few sneak peaks of things we've been up to.

If any of this interests you, reach out to myself or the folks at @leigh_hackspace.

A full write up on these will be coming, but we used the Shapeoko at @leigh_hackspace to make 16 giant daisies for The Lottery Winners. 4 had free standing USB powered LED backpacks for touring, and all were designed to be used with LED spots. They kindly invited @CatRyan and I to the gig at Manchester O2 Apollo last Friday, show was great. 2/*

We machined 300 poppies for a school remembrance day project for Tyldesley CIC. Because we're idiots, we forgot to grab a compression bit in time and ended up hand finishing them all. That was a lot of sanding. 3/*

The darkroom is almost finished at @leigh_hackspace. Been finishing the light locking and was hoping to do some test prints this weekend, that might need pushing back a week. Also ensuring airflow is sufficient from the outside and y'all not going to die. Because I'm nice like that. 4/*

For fun, I've been on a journey upgrading the Mac SE. It now has a BlueSCSI drive, and 4MB of RAM. Battery replaced. Ignore the error on Manhole, that now works like a dream. Planning on using it for a Hypercard tour. 5/*
