A couple weekends back, The Girlfriend and I were checking out thrift stores in another town and came across a nice little wood duck figurine, fully painted. It became clear that the proprietor wanted much more for it than we were willing to pay, but it got me mildly determined, and of course when you have a 3D printer you have to check out the options. Sure enough, someone named

I’m not ready for this
We’re once more into the nonsense blog trivia that would interest, oh, perhaps 1.29% of the population, but you did catch the ‘blog’ part, right? Good.

Roped in
Back when I worked at an auto-parts store, I was familiar with the idea of the tinkerer, and even worked with someone who had a “Tuner Cult” decal on their car. In essence, it the person who is perpetually working on cars, improving, upgrading, tweaking this that and the other thing because if there’s any room for improvement, they can’t rest until this has been
Branching out
This has been a while in the making, but not half as long as I’d imagined it might be. Short story: I now have a new page up with some 3D printed accessories for nature photography.
These are my own designs, except where they’re remixes of someone else’s designs, and I expect that page to be updated semi-regularly – there’s a definite benefit to creating my own accessories,
