Q1: Hello fellow dishcloths*!

[janet_52square@sunny.garden]

@MakersHour A1 Hello old friends, new friends and dishcloths. I have been busy this week but not with craft. I have, though, been learning to draw which is fun! I’m also a bit under the weather so I’m trying to take it easy. #MakersHour

@MakersHour

A1 Been working mostly on fixing the plumbing for the makerspace. By refactoring the existing plumbing, I've managed to make space for a sink for a new pottery area.

@MakersHour

Hello all. What have I been doing this week? I've been so busy I can't remember...

I baked a cake or two, did more clearing out of stuff, and did a lot of peopling. It's been fun, but I'd like to stop for a bit please.

@MakersHour hello #MakersHour! Another semi-random afternoon appearance for me.

A1: This week, I've been making a new PCB design for #emfcamp, which I have finalized and sent off for fab along with a couple other boards I'm reordering.

And lots of other making projects that are creaking along. Hopefully some will move faster now that this task is cleared.

It's a ticking clock here to do outside projects before it gets scorching hot.

@grajohnt @MakersHour semi-random is cool. I am on mostly-random but hoping to reduce randomness shortly…

@quixoticgeek
Well done. Making space in a work area is always a good thing.

@suearcher
Peopleing is hard.

I hope you get the rest you need.

[janet_52square@sunny.garden]

@suearcher @MakersHour Sounds busy! I have had to stop … never easy for me!

[thegiddystitcher@sunny.garden]

@Janet_52square @MakersHour I've never managed to stick at learning to draw, so am living vicariously through you lately. Hope you feel better soon!

Attached: 2 images Finally got round to sorting out the stand for the railway clock I made. Not exactly how I planned it, but it works. You can’t see most of it anyway! #MakersHour #woodwork #metalwork #railway

Attached: 4 images Worked on another railway signal lamp today. This one is dated 1942 and is taller and wider than the others I have. It’s unusual too as it has a square carousel holding the coloured glass. Others have a round carousel. It was mainly a clean up job with some polishing of the brass bits, some soldering to repair part of the carousel and some rust treatment. Oh, I also replaced the orange glass as it had a chunk missing. I happened to have some orange glass in my spares box, so I just had to cut that down by about 5mm. #MakersHour #restoration #railway

@Janet_52square @MakersHour I have that ambition, but as it's 3pm here (but normally 2pm because were in the 'twilight zone' between time changes), it's always a busy time.

Plans always spoil my good intentions.

[janet_52square@sunny.garden]

@quixoticgeek @MakersHour pottery peeps will love the sink!! Pretty much essential for them.

[makershour@cupoftea.social]

@grajohnt
Oh those designs look really good.

#MakersHour

[thegiddystitcher@sunny.garden]

@suearcher @MakersHour Ugh, peopling! Sounds like you both deserve a break tbh

[suearcher@toot.wales]

@Janet_52square @MakersHour

Yeah, enforced stopping isn't so much fun. I hope you feel better soon.

But hey - you have walls!

[grajohnt@chaos.social]

@MakersHour and a huge thanks to @jarkman for the inspiration on the silkscreen graphics, so I could get the board to the point where I could convince myself to order it.

[stratski@mendeddrum.org]

@MakersHour hi, Maaike here. This week I've been doing largely the same as last week: stitching on my biro shirt for the 100 day project, knitting a sock (still the same sock). I also did a little weaving project for my textile art challenge, and some light embroidery.

By the way, in Dutch there's an expression 'weak as a dishcloth' for feeling under the weather, so this seems like a very appropriate term of endearment for some makers this week I hope you all feel better soon!

@Janet_52square @MakersHour Yep, we're looking forward to the improvement in capabilities. This weekend I need to build the settling tank to go under the sink.

[janet_52square@sunny.garden]

@Andy @MakersHour this is lovely - it suits the clock really well.

[makershour@cupoftea.social]

@Andy
Excellent!

Those red lit lamps look quite eerie.
