Thanks for stopping by. Below are some of the projects I’ve been working on. I’ll add more as I complete them, or when I fail spectacularly enough for it to be entertaining. Mustachioed Neckwarmers Two layers of fleece to keep you warm, and one awesome mustache to keep you cool. –read more– Giant Adirondack Chair Honey, I blew up the lawn furniture! When you double the scale for a classic adirondack chair so that it’s eight feet tall, everyone can lounge like Edith Ann. –read more– Backlit Skeeball Marquee How can I make the house more like an arcade?  Day-glo carpet, spilled soda, and gangs of surly teenagers were all ruled out, so instead I made a light-up Skeeball backglass. –read more– The Coloring Kit This self-contained kit carries paper, pencils, and crayons in a soft, kid-friendly package, so a child always something to entertain himself with at restaurants or on the road. –read more– Railroad Crossing Sign Make a full-size railroad crossing sign (aka a crossbuck) for under $40. Perfect for a kid’s room or for your favorite rail fan. –read more–
About
About Me Hi, my name is Nathan.  I’m a guy who enjoys making things, whether with wood, fabric, metal, or electrons. I think my renewed interest in making things has come from an overload in the digital side of my life and a realization of the transience of that work: as a programmer, sometimes it feels like everything I work on can be erased by a blip in the power grid. So I head for the shop or clear out some space on the floor or dining room table and start making something with my hands. I’m lucky in that I came from a very DIY family.  We built things and fixed things ourselves, so that always just seemed normal. I was taught how and encouraged to use the power tools, and I learned to sew at around ten years old (and promptly forgot it for the 24 years following). Now, I’m teaching myself electronics. After that, hopefully metalworking. I strongly believe that not knowing how to do something isn’t an excuse to not do it, it’s a reason to learn. Treat that condition as the beginning of a journey, not as a dead end.
