@ianburnette on the bird-site. 🇺🇸➡️🇳🇱 He/him. Woodworker, pole dancer, python developer, and I can bake a pretty mean cookie too. DFTBA!

One of the joys of making stuff is the ability to gradually improve a tool. 3 years ago we needed a counter-height table for a party. Couldn't find it online, but I cobbled together something workable if we covered it with a table cloth. Then I added hinges (foldable for compact storage). Now I've added sliding locks (so set up no longer requires a screw driver), and 8mm steel bars to improve stability. Next year maybe I'll finally waterproof the top!

Halloween prep continues! This is one of my favorite props, made a few years ago for our "Nature's Reclamation" theme. This year they're making an appearance in the woodsy area of our "Witchcraft" theme.

I don't know, it's one of the few props I've made that I feel could just stand alone as a display sculpture (though I would want to paint the roots to better match the flower's stem).

The roofers took up our entire street's parking for almost a month longer than advertised, so today I'm making apology cookies (salted brown butter chocolate chip) for my neighbors. Of course I've had to eat a few for quality control purposes!

As far as personality quizzes go, this was a blast! #VeggieID

Google's AI thinks it's currently the same in central Europe and in the eastern US.

I'm so looking forward to AI making everything in my life just that little bit worse (This same query used to work.) 😮‍💨

I completed these a while ago, but never got around to bragging (well, not online at least). Two wall mounted DML panel speakers finished with walnut veneer and brass foil. If only I could figure out how to do this instead of my day job 😅 #woodworking #DIYAudio #DIYSpeaker #speakers
Do you not have your shit together, but want to trick yourself and others into thinking that you do? Start carrying a pressed #handkerchief in your pocket when you leave the house. They're cheap, it takes like 15 minutes to iron a whole stack of them, and nothing feels quite as grown up as whipping out a pressed hanky to dry your hands or clean a spill 😎 #adulting #edc #EveryDayCarry
