With the Venture and the Aura released within the past week - and also the range of CoreXY hitting the market at (more of) a consumer price point - it seems like there’s a lot of interesting stuff happening in tech this year. Fun times to be crafting things.

Spent the morning working on a laser cutter project; a lazy susan cheeseboard for our weekly Magic group (Commander). It was a rollercoaster problems but it worked out.

The hinge's epoxy broke; it requires a ton of for it to properly close.

The lazy susan was larger than the work area of the glowforge, so it was a PITA to align the workpiece in such a way that I could do half and then half. Still came out kind of decent.

Love this gift made on a ! I've had it for several years and use it whenever I have scrap cotton weave fabric to cut squares for later projects. Bonus: Meeple handles!

Working on various promised cake toppers all due in May. Having pun with the construction truck theme. Little boy is CRAZY about trucks, so, this is Clark's ConsTRUCKtion site. Based on the family Xmas card with a poem about trucks everywhere, and photos of a cement mixer and a digger "thingie." I bought the truck drawings on Etsy as I was short of time, so didn't design them from scratch. Then added crane and sign.

"Just" wood :-)
Wood is so amazing! It comes in all colours of the rainbow (though blues are really rare) and it has such depth of character. I can look at it all day!
I frequently come back to this combo of Wenge & Padauk by @evansd2 on a

I made my second nerd cart today. Now I have one cart and one cart. cart dreams realized.

I definitely have too much stuff crammed in my office, but at least now I can wheel it around to make room as needed.

Wanted a 6” ruler for my drawer so I fired up ye ol’ . When I transferred it to my new cart I jostled the mirror. Moment of panic as no cutting was happening. Luckily it was an easy fix.

Also, cutting acrylic is stinky even with the vent hose hanging out the window.

Pretty pretty PINK ballerina princess cake topper now done. :) Shipped even. Spiderman also shipped. Now back to my hip hop cake design. :) And I've just taken on a TRUCK (as in construction vehicles or monster trucks) one for big brother of the spiderman topper (can't do one brother without the other, right? :)) So I'll be learning a lot about big trucks it appears. :)

After my quick Mastodon logo pins came out so well, I was inspired to make some wood inlay pins with variants of a couple of my Celtic key pattern designs. These were a little more fiddly but, I think they came out pretty well. Maple with walnut inlay, sanded to 650 grit, wipe-on poly finish. Bottle cap for scale.

Howling with laughter. On the user forum, someone had made a spy satellite and floated it on a balloon. Noted the "made in china" on the bottom of part of it. Someone else replied with a photo of kid with Canadian flag on T-shirt with a slingshot saying the north was covered. :) :) :)

I don't often regret a tool purchase, but I do regret buying a . It didn't work for a couple of months and I was told it would be hundreds of dollars to fix, turned out that it didn't like the wifi security so it needed it's own AP. Every time I use it I immediately get ad emails. I just needed to print these on different materials today, it made me wait 10 minutes after a material change to cut again, usually it is only a minute or so

One of the simplest but most useful uses I’ve found for a Glowforge. These little holes in the center of the pick make a huge difference for me especially when I first start using a pick cold.
