Q1: Hello fellow dishcloths*!

[thegiddystitcher@sunny.garden]

@MakersHour Evening all!

I've spent most of this week absorbing driving lesson videos with the full mega intensity of an autistic hyperfocus, so that's pretty much it and also my head hurts.

But I've made it onto the edging of my latest knitting project, and there's not much left to do, so maybe a finish by next week.

Learning to drive is hard, especially nowadays.

Good luck with it.

@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.

[janet_52square@sunny.garden]

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

[makershour@cupoftea.social]

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

[makershour@cupoftea.social]

@suearcher
Peopleing is hard.

I hope you get the rest you need.

#MakersHour

[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!

Q1: Hello fellow dishcloths*! Tell us what you’ve been doing this week.

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.
