This is a bunch of for-fun projects, both large and small, I have completed or are in the process of attempting. I have detailed a lot of materials-techniques along the way. Please feel free to adapt these to your own uses. No responsibility can be taken for use or mis-use of this information or any awesomeness that results.
Videos? I detest instructional videos! They are invariably too fast or tediously slow (and often both!). If I ever have something that can genuinely benefit from video instruction, rest assured I will make a video. Until then, ye olde art of reading is your friend! At least here you can skim over my rambling aside-annotations (which I generally white-box like this so you know it is optional information and/or opinion)!
Generally a fundamental part of my lifestyle!
