A little Shop Fuel for the workshop. 🔧🍺

Here’s the xTool F1 Ultra engraving one of our stainless steel bottle openers. I’ve been dialing in the settings on these, and I’m really happy with how dark and crisp the finished engraving is.

Small item, quick engraving, and exactly the sort of thing the F1 Ultra is ridiculously good at.

Meet the little rock with a big heart. ❤️🪨

This cute Valentine’s 3D print is a Blob Lab design, printed and assembled right here in the Brindle Besties workshop.

And yes… with that face, there was absolutely no way I was giving him anything other than a dramatic rock-ballad soundtrack. 😂

Perfect for Valentine’s Day, a little desk decoration, or anyone who appreciates something slightly weird and ridiculously cute.

Design by Blob Lab — printed by Brindle Besties as an authorized vendor.

Plenty left for this last 30 minutes of a 2 hour print job... :D

🔧🍺 Shop Fuel — because every project needs the right supplies.

Just finished this stainless steel bottle opener on the xTool F1 Ultra, and I’m really happy with how clean the engraving came out.

The fiber laser gives us a nice dark, permanent mark while still keeping all those smaller details in the design nice and sharp.

Perfect for the workshop, garage, toolbox, man cave — or anywhere else important mechanical decisions are followed by opening a cold one. 😄

More designs are on the way!

Happened to find a thin chunk of Bubinga, so we're machining the last set of coasters today.

What can we make from two boxes of offcuts?

These may look like scraps, but there is some lovely wood hiding in here.

Different species, colors, grain patterns, lengths and thicknesses — all leftovers from previous projects and far too useful to throw away.

This week, I’m going to sort through both boxes and turn some of these pieces into something new.

I already have a few ideas rattling around, but before I start cutting:

What would you make from them?

I’ll share the first progress update on Wednesday, with a reel hopefully following on Friday.

SUNDAY SUPERVISION

Brindle Meatball was on duty today, making sure every task received:

🐾 Close inspection
🐾 Constant monitoring
🐾 The occasional deeply judgmental stare

No idea whether I passed today’s performance review.

New little 3D printed item from Brindle Besties!

I’ve been making quick custom door handle tags / door hangers, and this paw print version came out really nicely. These are great for pet rooms, offices, craft rooms, bedrooms, or anywhere that needs a small custom sign without getting too serious about it.

You can customize the text, pick your colors, and make it your own.

Available on Etsy here:

I also made a quick YouTube Short showing the design/print process:

Simple, useful, custom, and slightly less boring than a sticky note on the door. 😄

Coming soon to the store...

Squirrel picnic tables.

We have a few refinements to make, but so far the squirrels are loving the prototypes.

We have a few new wood items up on our Etsy page, and a few new ones coming up. Check them out.

All reclaimed wood.
