A friend of mine who creates lovely sea glass images (and does commissions!) asked me to create some miniature garden tools. No problem! You can view her creations here: https://www.facebook.com/northumbrianwaves

I've been spending some time trying to save the contents of my Wife's greenhouse now that she's passed away. A lot of the things in there I know what they are, others I've had to use an App to look up. Unfortunately, the existing plastic ID Tags that Michelle wrote on have faded, so I can't see what they are.

Once I've sussed out what they are I'm designing/3d printing new tags from 2 colour plastic that have embossed letters and shouldn't fade.

No, not Wood, but definitely comes under the title " 'n' Stuff " which is what this page is about. 😃

Well, it's in stalled and working. No more printer p**p on the table.

Time-lapse vid of how the printer printed the large "p**p" drawer. NB: The printer is fast, but not THAT fast, the print took 9hrs. In the 3d printing world, that's NOT a long time for a print.

My new monster-sized 3d printer has arrived! As this can print with multiple filaments, it has to "purge" the old colour before it prints with the next colour. As part of this process it "p**ps" to purged filament out of the back. So, at the moment it's not house-trained. Not anymore, I've had it print it's own "P**p Chute" and a large drawer to collect it. (The second picture is roughly how the drawer and chute fit together.)

Netting arrived. Finished!

Just weeded one of the planters that I made a couple of years ago and of course one of the cats welcome's the new "toilet". Not anymore. Designed and 3d printed some sturdy post holders and used some reclaimed timber to make the posts. Don't have enough netting to surround it, so I'll have to order some. Temporary measure until the plants grow enough to cover all the ground and then the cat "goes" somewhere else.

A 3d printer test for a personal project. New filament bought, "Metallic Bronze", not used it before. The left is at the lowest (roughest/quickest) print settings. The middle and right are highest quality, middle with ironing (smoothing) on background and tops of the letters and the right with smoothing just on the top surfaces of the letters.

The project itself will take roughly 17hrs to print. Will keep you posted. 😀

This new hedgehog house has been delivered to its new home today. Can’t wait to see it in its new environment. These are made to order from repurposed wood for just £40.

The woodpeckers are first of all cut using the engraver, with the engraving pattern on each side, then glued together and clamped. The edges are cleaned up and a pull cord and spring are added. In the meantime, I’ve made a plaque for him to be attached to and before assembly everything gets a few coats of varnish for protection. These are just £20 each if you’re interested. Collection from New Hartley or I can post at cost.
