WHERE ARE THE THINGS I CLICKED BUY WHY CAN'T I PLUG THE THING INTO THE THING AND GO WHEEEEEEEEEEEE #maker?


Another day, another problem, another tool purchase to be made. I know the ancients used fire, a deer antler, and a bloody month to make a fishing canoe, but I’m sure glad some clever apes invented better tools so I can get stuff done fast. If I didn’t fuck up I wouldn’t need more tools to fix stuff. #maker #making #a #mess


I fucking HATE glue. Registration is a thing, and stuff that friction fits dry is suddenly fully lubed up, by GLUE and your working time is FUUUUUUUUUUU. #maker #adhesive


Is today the day I abuse a power tool into full function? I have the machine to do this properly but I don’t have a boring head, sob. #maker #tooling


Ugh, an intensive day with too much sitting, fully immersed in a circuit work.

The ramp up with #KiCad tools was very smooth. I didn't find any roadblocks in #schematic capture, part coding, #PCB layout, nor cleaning up DRCs. The tools have come a long way since my last use in 2021! Pleased!

A scan through manufacturability tomorrow and the full cycle is complete. Yay #FOSS.

Phew the TV doesn’t not work after I boiled the controls off the plastic surround with alcohol. There’s no sign of life from the panel so maybe I killed it but it still powers on and selects the right HDMI input for the pinballs to display. #virtualpinball #maker


Building a thing to help me build a thing is a thing I guess. Always be yak shaving your suite of tools to offset your lack of skill with any of them. #maker


A week of highs and lows in the workshop, as I try to push forward again with two stalled builds, and do some surgery on my childhood guitar.
