Any other DIYers???? or makers in here?

I’ve made a few projects, wondering if anyone else in here is experimenting with things.

I’ve made my own stream deck, 'cause i’m poor AF. Full project here

Hmm…I don’t know if that counts as ‘Do it yourself’ if you get my meaning… XD Hahahaha
But I guess you can consider yourself a ‘Maker of Babies’ … chrono should make that a badge! :laughing:

Since you obviously need it:
pat pat Well done, you! (only slight sarcasm intended)

Also, yes, I’m a maker. Anything from leather goods to smart objects.
My most interesting project is probably a bale of sparkly-translucent (3D printed) Smart Turtles that panic and pulsate bright red if you turn their brethren (or themselves) upside down. If they know your number, they may even call you and use speech synthesis to ask you politely if insistently to put them the right way around again. That - and tell on you using Twitter.

That’s really nice! Not a delver myself, but find that stuff very cool, seeing it done. ^^

I’m a crafter - crochet and sewing mainly. I’ve got to teach myself to knit and tat lace again.

More DIY is cardboard projects. Made myself a laptop stand and in progress of a set of drawers for the longest time, lol. My friend wants me to make her a pencil holder. Might get brave and try to set the thing on a card based Lazy Susan. Never know til you try. :slight_smile:

You guys are all too cool for me, it’s not that I am not interested, I have no knowledge and no experience in the DIY area. Not to mention I have practically no spare time to dedicate to such things…

All of your projects look really cool though! I am glad to see what you can do with stuff like that. :slight_smile:

Not having time is one thing but no knowledge/experience is not a good excuse.

I learned everything i know from making mistakes and just trying things. Take things apart and learn how they work. Some skills only come with practice though, so you have to actually try things. Just make sure you’re not learning on something important! :smiley:

But really, why the moustache?

It’s because of the lack of time that led to the lack of knowledge/experience…

My wife was pretending to put lipstick on him and then I showed her how it’s done, rofl. And joker-baby was born. The mustache was just something i did with was at hand atm.

That’s like 1.5 years ago though.

Then he became playboy-baby:

I made small drawers by sticking Birchboxes together. Now all my stationary is organised, and every month I’m looking forward for the box instead of its content. :smiley:
