I'm in the process of building a device that lets you plug a landline telephone to a standard sound system. It's just so I can use it on stage, I wanna pick up the phone and sing with that vintage crackling voice.
Sadly, it is not "made" yet because I suck at electronics but I've got all the components I need and some time on my hands.
I won't post pics because I don't want to doxx myself and my family but, my brother, my dad and I built a racecar and I did most of the painting. We even ended up in the paper because we were one of the few people who still paint our car instead of vinyl wrap everything.
I made a Homemade Tablet Digital Art Keyboard for my Surface Pro 3 when i was using it for drawing daily.
The tablet is garbage, and I'm sad I'll probably never buy a tablet pc again but i would like to see if i can adapt this for an iPad one day. For now it'll remain in this state until i can figure something else out with it.
I made a random party generator for Final Fantasy Rennaissance, a FF1 fan game built from scratch with the stated goal of including as many classes as possible from across the franchise.
I also built a random team generator for Fire Emblem Engage.
Earlier this year I made a short video essay about how Dr. Mario's garbage mechanics are unusually different from the rest of the versus puzzle genre. I think it's my best work yet... but sadly it ended up as my worst view count.
I just finished another video about another versus puzzle game that I plan to publish tomorrow, but can't share it quite yet so click the Dr. Mario one instead I guess.
I've posted her elsewhere, but this is Teana. A few years back, my boy wanted a posable body for a Halloween Halloween monkey who's head broke off. One rabbit hole later and I was knee deep in the ball-joint doll section of the 3d printing community. He and I decided we'd make our own but as monsters.
The smoothing process for the white ABS I was using reminded me of my time working with porcelain and that's how Teana happened. Eventually Id like to sew a little dress and pose her on my brick-a-brack shelf in a decorative cloche.
More recently I've been building a mid century modern sectonal couch out of scrap lumber and a memory foam mattress. I'm far from a carpenter, didn't even own saw when I started, but it's coming together very nicely. It will look great with my TV.
It was a later model zenith with a broken screen. It's not the real wood style my parents had, the front is molded plastic, but it still feels nice. I gutted it, used a dremel to widen the hole behind the face, and nylon straps to hold up a cheap 32in from Walmart. I then disassembled an old tower and built it into the empty space inside and mounted a soundbar to echo off the back wall. The screen actually loses about 4cm off the edges became of the frame, but it feels more like the classic aspect ratio and that's nice. Also I've yet to watch a movie that needed that area anyway.
You seem like a fun and cool person
Started a new hobby :)
you know about the trick with the wooden dowel and the power drill to mass produce consistent rings from wire i hope
I completed my new bed about a month ago.
Since then, I refurbished a desk, and built a changing bench.
I have plans completed for a hallway table, and a foot stool. I'm waiting for it to get a bit cooler, I'll probably start in a couple of weeks.
I clicked on this thread with excitement before I remembered I have designed a lot of cool things that I can't post without either opening my company up to industrial espionage or doxxing myself.
So I will post something my wife and I both worked on. This is one of our kitchen cabinets. All of them are white and boring, and we decided that since we own the house, we will have artwork instead of "resale value".
I built a bluetooth receiver into the aux line on my car stereo so I could maintain the aux as well. It worked flawlessly for a few months until a connection broke because I didn't have actual connectors to use. Need to find a source for the kind of connector that plugs into the aux line but the one's I've found so far are too expensive and I'm not even sure they're the right ones.
I made a piece called “Sad Hammer”. It was a cheap hammer that got overused and bent down and I thought it looks depressed, so I put it in a shadow box and hung it on my wall after visiting MOMA. I guess it’s really not that cool but I like it.
Love this. I used to own a very similar hammer and one day snapped one side of the claw off trying to remove a nail for a picture hanger... Very sad indeed
It looks like a hollow tube for the body. I had one very similar to that in my cheap socket/toolkit. I got to a job and didn't have a real hammer so I grabbed this one that I kept in the truck. The first nail I tried to pull out I ripped the head clean off.
this is art!
We're talking about it, aren't we?
Shut up you! That's cool!
I like how it's floating. It's attached to the wall separately from the frame?
I’ve made a lot of stuff, but it doesn’t always fit in community art channels because its usually not a single visual.
For years in school/college I made Garry’s Mod / SFM animations. I was slow at it, and the subject matter was often something dumb, but a few times I made big hits. I had large gaps where I didn’t have inspiration for big lengthy animations and instead uploaded silly gameplay clips or whatever seemed funny at the time, but my old channel is visible here:

I finally decided I didn’t want my whole creative legacy to be based around manipulation of a single game company’s models, so I wrote a book. It’s on Nook, Kobo, and several other sites (not Amazon) and called Rangers of the Frostscape.
That said, slow feedback and low visibility hit me maybe more than it should have. I’ve seen many artists make things for the joy of creation, which I had to admit wasn’t what I was doing. Fighting purely for popularity is a doomed venture these days.
I hear spooky scary skeletons, I upvote. That's the rules.
A startup sound and a shutdown sound, about 20 years ago.
Just 2 short drum fills, made in LMMS or something.
Had fade-in on one, and panning effect thrown in on the other.
I liked them.
Can still kind of replay the shutdown one in my head :-)
I made a skin for Winamp 2.
Today i made a "toddler-stopper" from the side of an old cupboard. Now the little goblin can't crawl through the loom (yes, loom) and get to the nice book shelf on the other side of the room.
My website www.nihilore.com
@rimu@piefed.social I don't know if it's a bug, but when I click the link in a mobile client it works, but on piefed.social the link resolves to https://piefed.social/post/www.nihilore.com, which obviously doesn't work.
Thanks, I'll see what can be done about that!
That's awesome. It even has post-rock. Bookmarking this one.
I’ve made four sci-fi novels, self-published them and am working on the fifth. I have been making sketches and paintings and done many exhibitions.
When I was a teenager, I made a trebuchet. It was so fun. It was not sophisticated at all -- just made of 2x4 with a steel rod as the axle. The axle was about 1 m from the ground, to give you a sense of its size. It wasn't large, but it could throw things quite far (about 60 m).
I always appreciate a superior seige machine.
So not launch a 90 kg projectile 300 meters? Pity.
About a decade and a half ago I made a picture gallery for Android called floating image. I got fairly popular with about two million installs, but my focus drifted. Still, it was a pretty neat achievement for a spare time project.
