The wooden pendulum clock I’m building now out of a laser cut kit is a good example of the energy that attracts me right now. I’d like my next project to have a the time theme maybe, but I wouldn’t necessarily get deeper into laser cutting or build other mechanical things.

Maybe fix a broken digital bedside clock? Retire a clock to run on Mars time?
I did order a lens to make my own telescope out of some scavenged cardboard tubes. It’s mainly about using the tubes but also I’m curious about telescope building.1 reply 0 retweets 1 likeShow this thread -

I think if
@niftynei and I turned@scorpioseasontv into a sort of junkyard makers show (which we’ve talked about a bit) it would be a bit like the fictional show Tool Time within the old Tim Allen sitcom, Home Improvement.

Like Tim, I’d be the blowhard who talks a big game but screws up every project he attempts. Lisa would be like Al. Actually knows what she’s doing and makes stuff which works.

The risk with this theme is it could easily get very expensive. Will have to set a careful budget.
