Super jazzed that I’m able to successfully take measurements such that the deck boards land directly atop the blocking as planned. If I’d missed, I probably would have been annoyed enough to take an entire course of blocking out in order to scootch it over an inch. No need! I sneak out between meetings to lay down a board or two when I can. Goes surprisingly fast that way. Not as fast as if I could just skip work and get it done, but I’m almost there!  Really happy with how it’s come together.

Trabant posted:Ooh, is that a cousin to cyanotype? Looks pretty amazing, and the fact it's turmeric-based is simply Very much so Functionally very similar, just less sensitive by far, but the same techniques (photo grams, anthotype, digital negatives) can be done as well Its a positive process though, and cyanotyping is a negative process Just mix a couple taps of turmeric powder with a spirit and filter to get your dye (careful it stains) and use as you would cyanotype Except the developer is a base solution, you can use bicarbonate of soda if you are doing it around kids But you will get a more vivid shape if you use borax Its unfortunately not fast and will fade after about a year or 2 in ambient UV, or a day or so if left in the sun Nonetheless very pretty and wildly wildly cheap, my first run at it I made maybe 10-15 ml and I've made tens of A5 prints with some still remaining

After a long hiatus I finally mustered the will to finish my pre-COVID wood fired pizza oven. It was a fairly steep learning process and a quite a series of headaches but once I got my wrist in the brick laying went fairly smoothly. Arches are tough.  Bonus action shot! Haven't quite dialled in the optimum cooking temp (as several burnt naan bread can attest) but if the weather holds I'll be able to use it in anger this weekend. Just need to make the peel and the door..

SouthShoreSamurai posted:That's cool. Is the... cement? mortar?... on the outside of the bricks necessary? I liked the clean look of the bricks. The outside dome is just to keep the rain off the insulating layer and the vermiculite core as pictured below. Someone once said to me that the mortar's only job is to keep the bricks from touching. I'll probably spadge a load of waterproofing over the dome once the weather has cleared.  Apologies, I just twigged what you were asking. The action shot is from a test fire earlier in the construction. It is just the insulating internal vermiculite layer that was subsequently covered in insulation and the final outer brick layer seen in the first picture.

I have some diy light fixtures I want to make, but where can I get LED strips that are hardwired and look good? I've got some cheap ones from amazon that are good for messing around with, but require a plug and have a low CRI. Neopixel lights exist, but those are likely overkill. Don't need individually addressable lights when they're all going to be set to "white." (Though, being able to adjust temperature would be a nice bonus feature)

Get bicolour / strips that contain two temperatures of white LEDs, and then drivers that can fade between them. I don't have great sourcing advice for you - Film stuff is great but hella expensive, I think IKEA has some decent compromise stuff.

I bought these a couple years ago and they're awesome. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256801845918511.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2usa4itemAdapt I installed it in an inexpensive aluminum track with diffuser in a U shape that I put around the outside of a framed mirror that my wife uses for cosmetics. The color temp has variability and they are stupidly bright. She's been using them on the lowest brightness and they've been great. Really terrific for even lighting without shadows.

I have continued developing (lol) my pinhole camera and got some time on a laser cutter and worked this one out Its a half frame pinhole camera, meaning I get 72+ photos from one roll, wildly simple and about as robust as you can get Took some test photos today and some more with V1 So I'll post them once I get them developed   Edit, that was a design deadend to some extent After a bit of loving round with the laser cutter I've settled on this, and am extremely happy with it I'm going to be taking it on a honeymoon where I'm going to see some aurora, and I figure a pinhole will be perfect for long exposure like that and really make some memorable images

That's super cool Jestery, congrats! The pictures have a ton of character with the 'defects' that aren't digitally generated. The film grain, lens scratches, the er, um... side pubes, and just the general knowledge that they were made on a hand-made camera make them awesome.

Permanent christmas light install. Assuming it works out long term, should end up way cheaper that having someone install them every year, and there's no way I'm going up there every year anyway. Was about $800 + the cost of renting a lift.

Went with the led's, controller, and power supply from https://www.permatrack.us/ They were out of the tracks in the color I wanted, so I bought drip edge from home depot at $5 per 10ft already matching my eve color. Drilled holes at 2inch spacing and popped the leds in, then secured behind the eves. Here's a picture of what they look like installed.

It's really not that fancy, so I'm not putting it in the woodworking thread, but I made this flight board for my neighbor and I to have our annual Mad Elf tasting. (he has one bottle from each of the last 6 years saved, every year we move it up a notch. 2 years ago was the first one, last year we decided to get fancier with it)    I printed out coasters with the years on card stock that will fit into the recesses for the glasses  My co-worker made the logo up for me as he's really good at CNC stuff (that cost me a case of Peroni) and I colored it in using paint markers and hit it with a couple coats of poly. I used the old elf logo because I like it better than the current one, and it is also visually a lot simpler so I figured that would help with turning it into something that can be carved. The wood is maple.  AFewBricksShy fucked around with this message at 18:20 on Dec 16, 2023 |

AFewBricksShy posted:The deer look great. Forgot to answer this. Yeah the sleigh breaks down very easily. It's all hidden screws and/or pocket holes. I store it packed flat in the storage space in my shed. The reindeer fell over in very high winds, so that project has added a way to attach them to the sleigh and keep them upright.

I wanted a drying rack for my bar glasses so I made one out of a spare piece of walnut I had kicking around. If I was going to do it again I'd be a little more careful about the dimensions (that one top part is obvioulsy wider than the rest, but I was just messing around with some scrap. I'd also do the bottom dadoes first, the dado stack kind of blew out some of the angled pieces.
