I turned a ring “box” on a lathe and my fiancée said “yes!”

I bought a used 125 gallon aquarium 6 months ago that I need to reseal and build a new stand for. Got the sealant, lumber, and tools last month. Right now I’m working on procrastinating the actual DIY part.

Built a pantry extending into a garage. Did drywall and mud for the first time. I see the mistakes but wife is happy. So thats a win!

Currently putting the finishing touches on a wall-mounted chest of drawers for the workshop, which is holding everything from screws to scrap metal to machinist vices. It’s made of scrap pallet wood and ply and totally hand-tooled (planes/chisels/saws). My workshop is very very small (under 8ft by 9ft) and doubles as my home office, so this baby really frees up major space.

Just the rest of the drawer labels left to do. Not sure if these photos will work, but here goes:

Depends how many levels of recursion you’re interested in.

The most immediate project is to rewire all the ceiling lighting in the basement, to get it all on one circuit, while also eliminating a few dim spots and swapping some old flourescent fixtures for some nice dimmable LED panels I got on a sale, for the area that we eventually wanna turn into an entertainment center. I’ve got all the supplies ready, but I keep getting sidetracked by lawn work and issues with the car.

THAT whole project is in service of tearing down and rebuilding the drywall facade walls in the basement, and being able to have working lighting available for that project.

THAT project is in service of finishing waterpoofing the basement after we had a gutter and sump system professionally installed last fall. That eliminated all the issues we had with water seeping up from under the foundation, but there’s still a very small amount that leaks in from over the TOP of the foundation, when there’s heavy-enough rain. For that, we need to rip out the remainder of the walls, which were partially ripped out to install the gutter, and put up a liner directly on the foundation walls that will redirect all water down into the gutter.

THEN we can replace the carpet that we had to rip out after the record-setting rain storm we had last summer that soaked the entire basement.

THEN we can move everything in the garage back intonthe basement.

THEN I can being working on the car that grenaded itself when it threw a timing chain.

Also, does buying a new car count? Cause that was our entire 3-day weekend.

Planning to replace the old TV coax cable with Ethernet cable so everybody in the house gets their own low-latency connection for gaming. The problem is that TV cable is installed in a daisy chain while Ethernet has a star topology, and there’s only room for one cable from the basement to upstairs. So at the moment I’m pondering whether to keep the daisy chain and place a switch in every room, use some sort of MoCA (Ethernet over coax) adapter or go all the way and install fiber.

Also, we should really replace the carpet in the master bedroom with hardwood soon.

(Edit: spelling)

Myself, mostly.

I replaced my brakes last weekend. Did the pads, realized I also needed to do the disks and brake fluid too. Ended up being a lot more work than I wanted, mostly because I was missing tools.

I’m about 3 injuries into making Rex Kreuger’s roman workbench. Then we can use that to tech tree up and continuously make nicer workshop stuff.

I’m trying to network some spare laptop motherboards together with a working laptop that remotes in, my Desktop named Theseus, my AWS VPS, and a raspberry pi running Home Assistant to make a mini supercomputer to run AI locally. Unfortunately I have a bad habit of "painting the Mona Lisa pixel by pixel’, so I’ve been stuck cutting holes, gluing things with ABS-acetone paste, and putting in heatset inserts (for maximum serviceability) for weeks to make cases for them while my ADHD ass keeps forgetting what I was doing and switching between tasks at random 🥲 One of them is done enough that I got the metal tape for grounding laid down so I only have maybe a few weeks left

The network’s name is Navi, as an homage to Serial Experiments Lain!

Slowly gathering the tools and materials I need to make my own desktop. I’ll be trying to use pine sap resin to glue the boards together before sanding it down. I think I’ll be buying the rest of the desk from Ikea, I just don’t want to keep touching melamine when I’m studying (although it’s probably safe).

I am currently not installing a ventilation system in the workshop to remove nasty 3d printing fumes. Any day now I will start.

just finished sewing (or rather just modifying) myself some pants

all my crochet projects are on hold until it cools off a bit. the sensation of sweaty hands and yarn is a no-go for me.

though not as home oriented as most posters here, i have a denim jacket i’ve been working on for the past couple months. have been making and sewing my own patches on, and am currently looking at dyeing the sleeves, though i’ve been procrastinating from that a bit ;)
