Projects From A Wandering Mind

I've been really inactive here, but I have kept busy. I made a few more knives, finished my Greenhouse, and my next longer project will probably be repairing my older RC car ———————————————————————————— #electronics #projects #creative #ihatemyselftoo https://www.instagram.com/p/BtCIkt6nv4j/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1uatyawoodoj1

Just replaced some old thumb caps. Unfortunately, this required complete disassembly and reassembly because Sony hates us. ———————————————————————————— #ps3 #controller #electronics #repair #DIY #hashtagsareanecessaryevil #tech #technology #student #fix #techsurgery #upgrade #custom https://www.instagram.com/p/BtO5GW8nbEq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1v6eoqnncgzju

Another wooden karambit today, although this one was much better ———————————————————————————— #knifemaking #karambit #knives #amateur #replica #wooden https://www.instagram.com/p/BtJMeJ-HEb8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=s3jytggllv4m

Today I modified 2 playstation 3 controllers, and repaired a faulty trigger on one of them. ———————————————————————————— #ps3 #controller #electronics #repair #DIY #hashtagsareanecessaryevil #tech #technology #student #fix #techsurgery https://www.instagram.com/p/BtGwhS1Hhwi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1v5etrfd08w1y

I'm finally done. @chloe_blenkinsopp when do you want them? https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsqlk6KnGJE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16ovt21lkk7gl

Keeping with today's fire theme, I also burnt some designs into another of the wooden daggers. It takes a while, and makes a lot of smoke, but the effect is worth it as you get a gorgeous contrast between the light base wood and the deep burns https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsgsve4HJ7g/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gha0767qpfyz

Made that karambit but the wood I used sucked and kept breaking. I should probably get some nicer wood than the scraps in my garden https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsin2bUHCJ9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1i614luru70xu

Day 7: I designed a few last circuits for my EPQ Greenhouse, just need to fix the actuator in place, and mount the reservoir https://www.instagram.com/p/BsaIYr7Hs8f/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=mmgyk0nmj3l9

Day 6: I got some holographic tape for Christmas, and my phone case needed a little love so I hooked it up. I also spent an entire day I should have been doing college work stripping back my bed frame. I think I pulled out around 1000 staples, and my room is now a terrible mess. Satisfying work though. https://www.instagram.com/p/BsVzdp9ndf6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cnixlb8arke7

Day 5: today I made the beginnings of the modification I need to do to get my older RC car working. The servo for the steering has been relocated and the differentials rebuilt. https://www.instagram.com/p/BsTzCEqnVyL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1e8b0ermt0cfk

Day 4: I messed around with some spray paints and my stencil to make some art for my room, and it turned out reasonably well. One of the daggers developed a crack and then broke, so I adapted the pair into a triplet. The smallest one is burnt with designs I associated with the intended recipient. https://www.instagram.com/p/BsRAPtjnC-y/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=b7rs6tgc04c0

Day 3: made the sister to the first sword. They're from a single piece of wood cut in half, and sharpened to a knife edge. I need to stain them next https://www.instagram.com/p/BsOd_TmnlCI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=v9f27irvcpxp
