This is a silly mistake I always make with #dotnet and static members. Static members are initialized in the order they are declared, which means, in this case, I’ll get two entries of nulls in my collection because they’re not initialized yet.

#JetBrainsRider warns me that I have an issue.

I have a small obsession with designing and building easels. I do use them myself but there's also something really satisfying in their concept.

Here's one design I've actually made several of and used a lot. It's a little table-top A-frame with adjustable clamp. Glue & dowel assembly.

Made the knob using my drill press as a lathe. A stainless steel bolt is inside.

Never found a good source for metal brackets for the leg. Or any decent way to make them.

For those old enough, do you recall the first film you saw on VHS? (bonus points for beta max 😊).

Mine was Conan the Destroyer with Arnold Schwarzenegger, Wilt Chamberlain and Grace Jones!

#makers what’s the dumbest thing you ever made?

For me it’s this skull. I created it by pumping a crap ton of hot glue into an ice cube mould and jamming in a couple of red LEDs. I then painted and weathered the whole thing. I never bothered to wire up the LEDs but I did use their leads as hooks to hang it on my peg board!
