QuixoticgeekAnother week. Another museum. This week the Swedish History Museum in Stockholm. I came here largely to see this one tool chest. It's the Mästermyr toolchest. A 1000 year old chest filled with blacksmithing and woodworking tools. It's an incredibly important find. Beautifully preserved in the bog. The tools are wonderful. I'd seen pictures and read about these tools, but to see them up close. That hack saw is exquisite. I wonder how the chest ended up discarded.<a href="https://social.v.st/tags/Making" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Making</a> <a href="https://social.v.st/tags/Tools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tools</a> <a href="https://social.v.st/tags/History" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#History</a>

Aral BalkanCoding is like taking a lump of clay and slowly working it into the thing you want it to become. It is this process, and your intimacy with the medium and the materials you’re shaping, that teaches you about what you’re making – its qualities, tolerances, and limits – even as you make it. You know the least about what you’re making the moment before you actually start making it. That’s when you think you know what you want to make. The process, which is an iterative one, is what leads you towards understanding what you actually want to make, whether you were aware of it or not at the beginning. Design is not merely about solving problems; it’s about discovering what the right problem to solve is and then solving it. Too often we fail not because we didn’t solve a problem well but because we solved the wrong problem.When you skip the process of creation you trade the thing you could have learned to make for the simulacrum of the thing you thought you wanted to make. Being handed a baked and glazed artefact that approximates what you thought you wanted to make removes the very human element of discovery and learning that’s at the heart of any authentic practice of creation. Where you know everything about the thing you shaped into being from when it was just a lump of clay, you know nothing about the image of the thing you received for your penny from the vending machine.<a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/VibeCoding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VibeCoding</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/design" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#design</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/development" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#development</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/making" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#making</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/creation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#creation</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/artiface" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#artiface</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/craft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#craft</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/coding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#coding</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#programming</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/technology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#technology</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/tags/humanity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#humanity</a>

nyckihere's a fun trick: I arranged these shapes I want to cut such that, after tracing the edges with knifebot, I can slice the page with a regular straight line cutter, and be left with a 9x6" area suitable for a catalog envelope.<a href="https://bark.lgbt/tags/making" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#making</a> <a href="https://bark.lgbt/tags/knifebot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#knifebot</a> <a href="https://bark.lgbt/tags/papercraft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#papercraft</a> <a href="https://bark.lgbt/tags/nycki_stuff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nycki_stuff</a>

nyckiSTICKERS ARE GO!So I don't forget next time: the knife offset seems to be about x+5, y+19, but just to make sure, next page I design will have a square alignment marker in the middle to do a 'test cut' before I cut the rest of the sheet.<a href="https://github.com/fablabnbg/inkscape-silhouette" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/fablabnbg/inkscape-silhouette</a>edit: reminder to me, I should also put my name on these. how many times have I ended up with a friend's fursona sticker and forgotten who it is??<a href="https://bark.lgbt/tags/knifebot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#knifebot</a> <a href="https://bark.lgbt/tags/stickers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#stickers</a> <a href="https://bark.lgbt/tags/nycki_stuff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nycki_stuff</a> <a href="https://bark.lgbt/tags/photo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photo</a> <a href="https://bark.lgbt/tags/making" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#making</a> <a href="https://bark.lgbt/tags/silhouette" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#silhouette</a>

Simon HewisonWeather has been rather splendid in the west of England this weekend, got a few good rides on the bicycle. That did spot a few niggles - some poorly fitting mudgards that have always been wobbling and sometimes rubbing, the ping bell was designed for handlebars wider than mine and was wobbling, and the suspension forks top cap was missing. A bit of TPU filament, a Prusa i3, and <a href="https://fosstodon.org/@FreeCAD" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@FreeCAD</a> and the bike is ready for far more adventures and less wobbles. <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/cycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cycling</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/making" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#making</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/freecad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#freecad</a>.

carostarIch habe einen ganzen Satz an ABUS-Vorhängeschlössern, die gleichschließend sind, bei der ich aber keinen Schlüssel, sondern nur eine grobe Idee der Schließung habe. Gibt es per Lockpicking o.ä. eine Möglichkeit herauszufinden, wie der Schlüssel aussehen müsste, um anschließend die Schlüssel nachmachen zu können? Einige wenige der Schlösser sind gerade zumindest offen und wenn ein einzelnes davon zerstörungsbehaftet komplett zerlegt werden müsste, wäre das auch ok. Eigentlich möchte ich die Schlösser schon behalten, da es in der Menge auch der komplette Ersatz etwas teuer wäre... Kann mir da jemensch helfen, an eine Vorlage für einen Schlüssel zu kommen? <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/lockpicking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lockpicking</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/lockpickers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lockpickers</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/locks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#locks</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/diy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#diy</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/ccc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ccc</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/making" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#making</a>

QuixoticgeekHave uploaded my first ever own design to printables. This is a simple storage bucket container thingy for use with Ikea IVAR shelves (the 30cm version).

QuixoticgeekFinished my marking knife. Two coats of danish oil, and my makers mark as the finishing touches. It's not perfect. But I'm still happy with the outcome.<a href="https://social.v.st/tags/Making" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Making</a>

QuixoticgeekA new use for a pair of 1-2-3 blocks. Using them as a clamp to hold my marking knife off the work bench while the oil dries. Have given the knife two coats of Danish oil. Same as I did the marking gauge.<a href="https://social.v.st/tags/Making" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Making</a>

QuixoticgeekIt's not perfect. But I think I'm gonna stop here. It needs finish (Danish oil), and the final sharpening. But I think this is as done as it gets. The crack in the scale is filled with epoxy. And if anyone asks... It adds character...<a href="https://social.v.st/tags/Making" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Making</a>
