Hey!
Do you make stuff? Are you doing threads about your work in progress (WIP)?
Any stuff.
Software's my jam, but I follow people who make lace, cabinets, music, drawings, food, articles & books, videos, photos, paintings, boats and planes model and real, people who make anything, to be honest, anything but hate.
I like it when you share the WIP, and I am not the only one who does.
In fact, following along folks as they work is often one of the most pleasing parts of my day.
Show us!
@GeePawHill got a couple of coats of lacquer on that coffee table top. Also did some test pieces for miter splines for the legs. (First is madrone; second is walnut. Gonna stick with all madrone.)
WIP is sloooow though. Not much free time during hours when it's okay to make power tool noises.
@GeePawHill I feel like it'd be a little weird to just insert some text from the horror novel that I'm working on, so instead I'll show you four things I found in my research process yesterday ^_^
@GeePawHill I agree dude! It's where humanity is for me. Creating shit, even (especially!) for fun.
I just always feel it's not good enough. Which I know doesn't matter a bit.
I am an architect, artist and general tinkerer and always have something in progress, it's the nature of creative people I believe...
@GeePawHill The projects hashtag was awesome for this when I first joined Mastodon (during the Twitter exodus). Let's see if it still is…
EDIT: Well, wasn't expecting that. (nonstop Hackaday posts)

Finally getting around to writing a Raspberry pico-based Sharp MZ-80K emulator. It should be relatively straightforward - I hope. I'm not expecting progress to be fast as I'm making sure I properly understand & document each component I write (or incorporate from other projects). I'm determined to have as little cruft as possible. My aim is to implement a MZ-80K, not every Z80-based computer (or even every Sharp MZ) ever released. #FamousLastWords #RetroComputing #SharpMZ #SharpMZ80K
Just some shit I do.

Attached: 2 images Photography thread. All my own, may not be great, I don't care, anything I post in it, it's something I really like. Starting with "The man that looks through holes" I do, literally. I always wonder what's on the hidden places you don't normally see.
@GeePawHill Build threads are my favorite format.
Here's my newest. It's all done except for delivering it to its recipient.
Birthday Tower

And here's my ongoing, since March, printer enclosure thread.

Thanks for asking! 😜
I am starting a new project. As usual, I'll make a running Mastodon thread and a hashtag, #BirthdayTower. Two great nephews are having a joint birthday party in August. They will be five and three. Their uncle and I are going to make them a light+sound toy. He's doing the woodworking, and I'm doing the electronics and firmware. So, unlike most of my projects, this is a collaboration, and it has a deadline. 🧵 1/∞ #BirthdayTower
Am I overengineering this? Lol. And how. Far far worse than you'd expect. It's my superpower. So it started with a script for a one off project. It kept running out of memory. Three years, multiple power tool purchases, and a lot if mistakes involving DIN Rail mounting later I'm doing me...
@GeePawHill I know some folks that make pushups, does that count? #100pushUps
But more seriously, is there a super generic hashtag for makers/tinkerers in general? I know a few that should use it, and I would also like to follow. It's inspiring.
@GeePawHill I'm doing astrophotography these days : https://mamot.fr/@corpsmoderne/114125743199088198
(other pictures and details of my gears and tries on my feed ^^ )
Attached: 1 image Another shot at post-processing the same data (M-51 and palls). It's still very frustrating to know that there are a lot more information in there but if you show it, the ugly sensor noise shows up too 😅 #astronomy #astronomie #astrophotography #photo #photography #photographie #sky
@GeePawHill not really doing threads (even if I post statuses now and then), more like blog posts about my retrocomputing hobby: a FPGA clone of an Atari ST, and learning about digital circuit design in the process.

@GeePawHill I started crocheting leg & pulse warmers, when I was cold, now spring has sprung, so they won't be used til next winter (but hopefully will be finished by then 😁).
Oh, and as it's spring, I'm "making" tomatoes, herbs, chilies and the like and will post their progress throughout the year.
P.S. I don't really do WIP threads, as I post about them too randomly and then can't be bothered to find the previous posts again. 🙈 Might be an idea though..
@GeePawHill This rocks. And you Rock because of it. Nice to meet you. #WOOT

I am working on a cheese process! The primary fermentation is the easy part here. I've gotta figure out where and how to dry them off and let them get ripe.
I also want to double the size of my rounds, and that will require me to figure out some new cheese forms and ripening boxes.

Attached: 3 images I've been excited about cheese this past week. I've got three passes all in different stages right now. Basically converted my yogurt recipe into a cheese recipe, so I don't know what to call it. A long mesophilic fermentation with rennet. Penicillium candidum and geotrichum candidum for a bloomy rind. #cheese #cheesemaking #bloomy #penicillium #geotrichum #fermentation #milk #immersioncirculator
My work in progress is a sailplane/glider, based on this model design:

Soon it will be ready for flight testing. I will use the Universal Test Pilot 2-step Checklist:
1. Hold my beer.
2. Watch this!
I'd take you up once I prove it's safe to fly, but it's only a single-seater.
