I made another batch of handmade paper… 32 sheets this time. Still needs to dry, and then get pressed. Then I’ll print on it!

@rasterweb Will it stay this grey?

rasterweb OP ,
@rasterweb@mastodon.social avatar

@randahl Probably not… it tends to lighten up quite a bit when fully dry.

Working with copper wire turned out to be very enjoyable 🙃

Does anybody know if there’s a traditional composite material that behaves something like fibreglass? As in fibre/fabric laid up in a binder of some sort to make a stiff material in arbitrary forms.

Paper mache is one but it’s too weak (I think, maybe there's a super version?). I'm considering things like cotton or flax in casein glue or pine resin... but I doubt it will work.

(And my last casein glue experiment stunk like rotten milk for weeks!)

@futurebird Ah yes, lacquer. I've considered that, not sure about the expense, not sure about it's strength, led to me not trying it.

@futurebird A part for my bike. Depends on how strong I can make it, but either just a mudguard, or a mudguard/rack/seat/battery-holding/trailer-towing complex.

I do try not to do this very often, as I'd rather make friends than advertise, but it's that time of year when a special kind of persons heart says " I wanna go fast." If you have that kind of craving, I can help. I made parts for this beauty, and I can help you too. Cars, trucks, boats, bikes, surprise me? If you can draw it, I can probably make it.

    Outstanding statement necklace! A special composition due to the honeycomb design that creates the fantasy prisme in the colors and combines harmoniously with the colors of the enamel.

    @sollat I have definitely run out of trust for this oven

    moira OP ,
    @moira@mastodon.murkworks.net avatar

    @sollat oh fuck that

    yeah that’s not okay

    ours isn’t that bad except for the part where it isn’t so predictable and the blacked-out-with-tape buttons want to Do Something but we don’t know what and mostly that ends up just meaning “beep a lot” but sometimes it means SURPRISE other oven is on now! or SURPRISE upper oven is off now and sometimes the display starts doing its own shit and basically I’m wondering what elder god it’s trying to summon and I want zero (0) elder gods involved with my baking tyvm

    I made a bigger holder for the mailbox key which makes it - like the others - kind of click into place when fully flicked out of the holder.

    Also reprinted the holder on its side and turns out that works fine! And hides more or less all the layers. Much nicer. :D

    New file (and new photo) uploaded to thingiverse if anyone wants to play with it:

    I remade a one day build bubble pipe, this time with a better setup to prevent leaks and leds. I forgot sometimes it's nice to just make for the sake of fun not views #maker #prop #toy
