We've got many leathercraft books and I'm sure there's something in Al Stohlman's case series that has a playing card case. It's all been done before. The trick is finding what works for you. We get inspiration from books, the web and projects we've done before. I expect you to run with some of my ideas as I glean from others before me. This is what community is all about. #LeatherCraft #design #maker

The saga of my 3D printed stool continues... The under-seat brackets keep breaking in the exact same spot; I believe a re-design is required but I can't think of a way of attaching them which will absorb the force without snapping 🤔 perhaps a single screw on a wing towards the center instead of two pointing sideways...?

I can still sit on it, structural integrity remains surprisingly good even with partially broken brackets 😝

This is a large scalemail pauldron. It hangs off one shoulder while wrapping under the opposite arm for support. It is composed of anodized aluminum scales, starting with uncolored scales with black trim at the top, then changing to fully black scales partway down. The scales are attached to a strip of chainmail which holds the piece to the body. #chainmail #chainmaille #scalemail #armor #maker #crafts #aluminum #pauldron #shoulder

🧶🧶🧶 Getting a whole lot of knitting prep done today! Swatched for the Ivy Scarf in Giselle, color Cloud.

The four holes at the bottom are a little hard to read, should have put more stockinette rows before beginning lace. Supposed to indicate US4 (four yo + k2 holes). Live and learn.

This one is for a CNA eg medical aide named Marietta here in the nursing home, who always goes the extra mile.

This is a choker with a magnetic clasp that I made for a friend. There are many different sizes, colors, and materials of rings. The large and medium bright aluminum rings are connected by blue and teal anodized aluminum rings. In the centerpiece, twisted aluminum rings are used. Around the neck, black rubber rings connect larger rings to complete the piece. The rubber rings give the piece some stretch, allowing it to be worn more comfortably. The clasps are magnetic, which makes getting the choker on and off very easy. #chainmail #chainmaille #jewelery #chainmaillejewelry #choker #blue #maker #crafts
This is a chainmail piece I call a triangle scale top. A clasp around the top connects to chain triangles which expand to form the neckline. Once the expansion is complete, the chainmail connects to scalemail contractions which complete the top. The scales are two toned, with primarily silver and black trim. The two halves are connected in the middle of the chest, as well as by a chain which runs around the back. Decorative chains hang low between the two halves. This piece has two clasps, one around the neck and the other at the back. The clasp chains are intentionally made too long in order to allow for adjustments when putting on the top. The excess chain also performs a decorative function. The piece is made of bright aluminum rings with anodized aluminum scales. #chainmail #chainmaille #scalemail #armor #crafts #maker #aluminum

🧶🧶🧶 Here is link for Romi Hill's 2025 MKAL, a triangular shawl. Kicks off May 23rd, so plenty of time to prepare.

Romi's MKALs are great! Pattern has a theme, clever new technique, weekly in-depth #YouTube, robust forum. She offers a pay-as-you-can purchase model. Annually, a lot of people participate.

I'm all in, swatched and ready to go. Consider joining me!

Nach einem Monat gibt es mal wieder ein kleines Update zu meinem #CanGrow Projekt. So langsam aber sicher vervollständigt sich die v0.2, das Dashboard funktioniert schon einmal zu großen Teilen, was ein recht großer Brocken auf der ToDo Liste war :)
Es können jetzt neben den bekannten Tachometern auch Liniengraphen angezeigt werden. der #ESP speichert dabei alle halbe Stunde für max. 2 Tage die Daten im LittleFS :)
