Not to say I've given up on the 3d printing... I was starting a project with the kids and my long rails used to hang on the garage door but that door is slowing falling apart and so the rails ended up, stuffed wherever I could find space. And the sacrificial cut strips never seem to stay...

It's been a busy month... In my rediscovery of all my Festool gear I relearned that the extensions for the Kapex miter saw also attach to the MFT table and so I set them up to help me cut strips for the drawers' slides. And I made use of all the baltic birch scraps to make jigs for the...

Hmm, I just spent an hour trying to figure out how to add text to the depth stop without much luck. I can add it over the embossed letters of the model but the type doesn't line up and it feels sloppy. I'll go back but it's not important at the moment. I finally got time between everything...

Of course someone here has already modeled that. I've downloaded it and will print it out after the Griffinity cable organizers have printed. How hard is it to print the numbers in a different color? Or is the better way to just infill with paint? I can see that printing Gridfinity organizers...

Yup, fully agree with you Grant. No rush on the email - I've got a full plate this month. After deciding to just do a 200mm half round cut out at the top of the drawer I knew I wanted to make some kind of relief for fingers since the opening was small. All of my cabinets and drawers have been...

We interrupt this drawer build with a trip to Austin, TX for Ducati - sorry not sorry. I love being challenged to think of solutions quickly on location and to make this just a bit more challenging I decided to miss my flight out on Wednesday morning. Turns out that Apple has "alarms" that get...

Yes, it feels good to be making sawdust. I didn't think I'd enjoy it as much as I have but honestly it's been a long time since the Festool collection was put into play. Long enough that opening the systainers felt like I inherited else's shop and was thrilled at what I was finding. What? I have...

The road to hell is paved with good intentions and I feel like the house is a highway of things I've intended to finish and haven't. Lara helped me build these cabinets in 2018? It was an attempt to add storage space to a house that didn't have much. I went overboard to make them go the full...

Damn, that is some incredible imagery. Yeah, I'm actually working right now to estimate a project for a client that I've worked with for 20 years but they've approached me not as the photographer but as the subject/creative director/ producer/director and I suppose in there somewhere is...

Thanks! Yeah, the body needs to outlive me (easily), most of the other members and probably the club which isn't exactly the most solid structure having been built in the 40's by the members. The clips.. I tried to find a superior solution but in the end the simple one was the best. They can...

Amazing Sean. I'm planning to build out some drawers for the back room office and desperately want to print out this sort of organization for them for all the small photo chargers, filters, batteries, etc. Gregor

So I left you hanging on the target hangers... They are finally finished. I made the project more complicated (surprise!!) by trying to do video as a way of teaching myself editing in Davinci Resolve. I'm 90% done with that but I want to wrap it up here. It was a fun project and also...

So an update here is in order. I took Nadia in a for a checkup and at a certain point the doctor asked some innocuous questions and she started to cry. Much like on the trail in Moab. He asked to speak with her alone and then talked to me and I told him about Moab, about the random breakdowns...

Getting close on the target hangers. I rinsed them with baking soda to neutralize the vinegar. Supposedly you can use Coke to strip mill scale but it's a weaker acid and will take longer. White vinegar is less caustic than muriatic acid which is another way to go. Vinegar is the happy medium...

You know I was convinced there was a better solution and spent the better part of a morning looking for German or Japanese clips or clamps. I briefly considered adapting small sections of restaurant order rail which works by using marbles in an angled extrusion... Which is an ingenious method...
