Stuff you have made today

[MattF]

Floor grouted. Pleased it is finally done and Im happy with it,last thing I'll do another day is level the hidden gap along the wall and at the back, mostly so water cant collect there if mopping or pipe leak.

You bought a large tub of grout then?

I had a play on both the woodworking and metalworking lathes
Firstly I made a couple of bushes for the pen mandrel:

This is the what I managed to get done today (and a little of yesterday):

A couple of Christmas presents. Coated in graphite with the intention of electroplating but I’m having second thoughts and considering just Lacquering them as is.

What are you using as a carrier/binder for the graphite?

 

[Dev]

I normally use acrylic paint, this is an experiment with slightly watered down PVA glue.

Edit: Stuck the Fluke on the Tuit on and it’s resistance is 2k ohms. Not sure that’s good enough but that’s why we do these tests!

I've been trying to get an electroplate on some kydex -
best results so far is with yacht varnish, but just isn't conductive enough - I'm beginning to think it's the cheap graphite, though - too much filler, perhaps.

I'm waiting a delivery of some ascorbic acid so I can make some nano-particle copper instead.

not so much made as experimented with, this is librecad i want something that will run well on my chromebook without using a remote server to my desktop.

had to watch a video more to learn the strange interface, feel like it makes sense now can see it has potential

Acrylic on etched steel

 

[Dev]

Science!

The original print is green so the black areas are graphite, I don’t know why they haven’t taken.
