The grain-matching inlays, backfilling routed lines with epoxy and blending laser etchings over top from it are ones I’m excited to use on more projects in the future.
While building the Hex-A-Deck last summer, there were more than a few conversations about how amazing the deck could look with…
Some of the projects that have the biggest impact on day-to-day quality of life are also the simplest. These 3D printed spice racks mounted on the inside of a cabinet door for easy access when a dish needs a dash of something extra.
What happens when I re-imagined a keepsake box concept, with 3D print test files and one of the worlds’ oldest games built into its smallest form factor possible?
The deck consultant from the nearest (orange) big box store sai “Everything you are thinking of is structurally sound, but it flies in the face of hundreds of years of engineering principles.”
