Ok mostly back on track

Peter Lyons@peterlyons· 1d

Started on a very narrow hall table build today. Many rectangles and yes I lost track of orientation and cut a bunch of rabbets on the wrong sides so now I have almost exclusively left sides. Tomorrow is repairs I guess.

Some tool roll prototypes were sewn but 3D printed TPU wins this round.

Peter Lyons@peterlyons· 24d

Just do it, okay.

I did a surfing during a work onsite. When your CEO is a surfer/lifeguard, this is how you achieve "culture fit".

Hi from work trip to Carlsbad

Sonny Rollins: Saxophone Colossus cover art. Silhouette image foreground. Blue background.

Peter Lyons@peterlyons· May 26

For a less famous album I recommend "Sonny Rollins on Impulse". This has a label on it as disc 50 in my collection of what would eventually grow to nearly 1000 CDs.

New crosscut blade. Who dis? #woodworking

A 2x4 with an extremely clean cut leaving a very smooth surface. Held for good illumination of the surface texture.

I put a cardboard box in a plywood box 📦 🤧 Finished with my favorite finish: air.

Please notify the Nobel committee.

Using my new-to-me drill press for the first time. It has frickin' laser beams! Feels so good to have a shop with everything I need to finally do projects properly and not be digging out from a woefully inadequate setup in some dark cold driveway.

Drill press pointed at some plywood. It has its own LED light plus the shop light is very bright and frickin' laser beams for targeting. To the right a blower is pointed at the bit continuously clearing sawdust.

I like big bridges and I cannot lie. #3dprinting

A1 mini bridging about 70% of the entire print bed width.

Hot Ones cauliflower edition. I quit after 7.

Canonical social media post

Two fancy espresso drinks with foam art on a marble table. Behind each sits a biscotti on a black plate.

Made a bench kinda like the Nelson Bench

I was there Friday! The spinny tunnel was a trip.

Peter Lyons@peterlyons· Feb 16

Ended up doing a fresh arch install on my main thinkpad. Made it 8 years rolling releases so no complaints. Got me a fresh live install drive too

A usb thumb drive tilted on a keyboard showing a label reading "I use arch, by the way" wrapping around the corner of the drive.

Finally done! 5 cabinets and 13 drawers. Blog post with details and lots of build photos here: peterlyons.org/persblog/202... #woodworking #maker

5 plywood cabinets containing 13 drawers

Peter Lyons@peterlyons· Jan 18

10 drawers done. 3 to go.

Peter Lyons@peterlyons· Jan 2

5 cabinets built, fit tested, and ready for glue up. Project is in fact much longer and more difficult than I thought (but admittedly I mostly thought "that's a clever design" and not so much "how many days of vacation will I just be cutting drawer slots").

My index card + pen holder sparks joy every time.
