I furnitured!
I built this planter box, along with one three times as long as this one, out of cedar
This little table for my porch out of some lovely local white oak. It’s a humble little thing but I’m rather proud of it because it’s the first project I made with genuine mortise and tenon joints, some chopped by hand with a chisel.
A plant stand, also out of white oak. This one has slanted and tapered legs, and Avril Lavigne wrote a song about it. Why DID I have to make things so complicated?
And two bookcases from birch plywood and white pine. I was particularly careful planning this one, and managed to get the carcass and shelves of each bookcase out of a single sheet of 3/4" plywood, though it does mean the grain direction on the fixed bottom shelf doesn’t make sense.
You’re really good at carpentry, Internet stranger!
Thank you.
Dope af. Good job on the fabrications.
Best RC evar, don’t fight me, fight my son he did the awesome styling
I’m developing my first vidyagame, an RTS Clicker survival where you have to grow to be the largest organism on the planet, called Infinitree. Steampage going up in February, prototype is going out to F&F this month. Check out The Infinitree website for more info :-)
Does art count?
For a second, I thought that was a shell casing next to the frog. Which, admittedly, would have made for a more intriguing narrative.
You mean the acorn shard or the piece of stick?
I’ve similarly been told before it looks like the frog is smoking or chewing on the blade of grass.
The piece of stick. Though I couldn’t so positively identify it, hence the momentary confusion!
I like the second drawing with the motion of the wind and the pillars! Nice photos too! 😃 Forest one is such a vibe
Thanks.
Interestingly enough the one with the wind is based on a dream I had. It may be why it came out so vivid.
I am a developer for a free open source game inspired by Minecraft called VoxeLibre, I have also made one of the more popular mods for it.
Development is a collaborative effort between many people so I cant call the game mine. I didn’t create it. But ive been contributing on and off for a few years trying to do what I can to improve the project. So in a way it feels like I’m at least part of the legacy at this point. I am proud of how far the project as a whole have come and proud of the talented people I have the pleasure to collaborate with.
It started almost three years ago with simple typo bugfixes. I did not know anything about coding or pixel art making or git commits but liked it enough to learn through hard work and effort. Its been quite the ride ever since!
I make music, including putting it to video every once and awhile. So technically “music videos,” I guess. I don’t share them all that much, but here’s a weird one I’m kind of proud of.
Dang, that’s creepy and I like it. Nice work!
Thank you!
“once in a while”
Doesn’t make a lot of sense but that is the correct phrase.
I made my own, single source bubble hash live rosin, from seed to final product, all by myself and it came out the best I’ve ever done.
I don’t really have anyone to share it with who would understand and I don’t know if any of you get it either, but I’m super happy with the end result and proud of all the work I did.
Looks delish mate, good work
Looks great, I bought a press recently, but trying in shake I have decided I need to grow my own plant to do that and get good results. I was thinking about doing it, but seeing what you got out in now more motivated to get that done this year.
The hardest part is starting my dude! I highly recommend trying to grow at least once. It’s a lot of time and effort to grow it, harvest it, turn it to bubble hash, and then press it into rosin, but I find it very rewarding, especially now that I’m making decent product. You can also apply a lot of what you lean growing cannabis towards growing food crops like tomatoes and corn.
Looks like good work
Around a year and a half ago I started making my own keyboards. Like, I still use normal switches, normal keycaps, and off-the-shelf microcontrollers & firmware, but the layout and the structure are my own design, mostly fabricated at home. After a few experiments (one ortho, one ergo, one macropad, and one gutting of a broken off-the-shelf to try something larger) , I had three keyboards’ worth of aluminum plates made. One was pretty basic but has remained a favorite and another really hit my retro intent for the design, but the second was sort of an ignored middle-child because it wasn’t as refined as the third, or as earnest and satisfying as the first. I fixed it by designing a wrap-around case for it, changing the keycaps, and adding a little solenoid so it sounds like a telegraph machine whenever I flip a little switch. I’m really pleased that I was able to retrofit it to make it stupidly fun to type on. My boards are not exactly the perfectly-finished CNC aluminum showpieces some enjoy, but it’s deeply satisfying to go from a pile of electronic bits, some sheet goods, and a reel of printer filament, to a functioning piece of daily-use equipment.

More pics! Love the yellow and gray builds.
Thanks! They’re the twins of the one I just spruced up. The gray one is bare aluminum with oak spacers. Construction wise, it ended up looking a LOT like Matt3o’s BrownFox from like ten years earlier. No surprise, I suspect. The Swill plate generator I used was likely borne out of people wanting to do similar projects. It has Box Navy switches combined with Vortex-designed VSA keycaps that you can find mislabeled all over ebay/AliExpress/etc. as “double shot DSA”, except for the BBC Micro inspired F row, with is just 12 red DSA blanks and one that I lasered a design onto.

The yellow one has “Fauxly Panda” no-name heavy tactiles from Aliexpress, a 3-D printed case and feet, Akko “SA-L” keycaps, and a design (very) loosely inspired by the later Atari 8-bits. The color scheme is meant to sort of vaguely evoke the original 400 and 800. I am really pleased with this layout, which is just a TKL with the F-row shoved over, a few missing keys above the nav cluster, the Shifts split in two, and the modifiers shrunk down and reduced to give that “dangling spacebar” look so many old keyboards have. Only thing I’d do different is not split the left Shift. I just never got used to having two keys there, so all three boards now just map shift to both keys.

This has been an immensely fun hobby, and I’ve probably done a dozen projects by now, though I’ve probably topped out how refined my designs can be and still be fabbed on a 5W diode laser and an Ender 3 clone. Last project before the solenoid and aesthetic retrofit was my goofy no-stabilizers Battlecruiser, which I’m currently using for work.
This looks awesome man. You got any with numpad?
Oh hell yes, the compact layouts that keep their numpads are my usual preference, though in adding numpads I also decided to do my own plates on my home laser, and that was easier without longer keys, so they got a little… weird.
- First one. Did my own (slightly cockeyed) legends on the keycaps.
- Second one. F Row returns. Tried to make a case that fit the weird layout. More DIY legends.
- Third one. Tried to do a southpaw and minimize the need for custom keys, though it still benefits from a few.
- Back to F-row-less. Careful selection can make this work with purchased caps. It also has a PCB, though the microcontroller is just manually wired instead of being integrated or even socketed.
- HEHEHEHEHEHE.
- Bonus. Numpads don’t have to be part of the board.
A very overdue Christmas themed drawing that I’m not finished with just yet. So here’s some fluffy tinsel I just got done with rendering!
Cool. But, where the tinsel?
I know it’s not much compared to everyone else’s stuff here but it’s the easiest to post since I actually have picture of it.
Made some ginger chicken after experimenting with making the chicken tender and crunchy without deep frying. Turned out very good.
So many things!
We moved to a new house a couple of years ago and I mapped out the whole property, put it into LibreCAD, designed the space, and have been planting/building it since then. I now have thousands of plants, over 1000 unique types, and a vegetable garden in our 1/3 acre lot. I’m very proud of it, but don’t really know how to best share it with the world (or if anyone cares).
I also have a web site that I’ve been building forever, lots of little programs, things like my irrigation system built from a Raspberry Pi, my homelab, all of the plants that I start from seed in the spring for the garden (thousands under grow lights with heated mats), the hydroponic system… I’m sure there’s more.
A podcast called Almost Plausible, where a couple of friends and I take an ordinary object (such as a ceiling fan, a paperclip, or a toilet brush) and we create a movie plot based on that object.
You can find the show anywhere you listen to podcasts.

Hooray! I hope you like it. :)
Latest terrarium, work in progress, used from thrift, front doors open.
Excepting the center-rear plants and two epiphytes (Lowes), everything sourced or created locally.
Substrate: rock (found and cleaned), charcoal & dirt (made myself)
Contents: Mosses, dead and alive, green onions, tiny pine trees, purple hearts (swiped from the gas station trimmings), driftwood (found hiking and canoeing, power washed), reindeer moss (not quite visible)
Lighting: Thrift store light with various grow bulbs, still painting and assembling. Not thrilled with the color, can’t get the high color-fidelity (CRI) grow bulbs I’ve used before, had to mix it up best I could.
Animals: Nothing so far, but I want to pack it with detritivores like millipedes, springtails and roly polys. Wife is getting me a chameleon, probably tonight! Not sure how to keep the bug population going with him in there. Ideas? Rocks to hide under? I may also get a Pac Man frog.
It’ll be way cooler and different in a year. Just put the round, green moss in, hasn’t settled naturally, stuff like that. The pines will be worked over as bonsais, some stuff may die or turn out inappropriate, wood may move around, etc.
EDIT: Got the chameleon! “Doctor Lector”. Still working on insect populations, but we got 20 crickets to start him off.

Ik people dont like ai but ive put lots of effort into ensuring it is heighly accurate.
Little late, but I built an axe throwing range in my garage a few years ago. It’s taken quite a beating though, and one of the kids knocked the target off the wall, so it’s out of commission right now, but I was always happy to show it off when it was up and running.
