WokStationOi, <a href="https://cupoftea.social/@Maker_of_Things" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@Maker_of_Things</a> - thanks for sorting out the hosticokey of my insane ramblings. Had fun being in two places at once! <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/makersHour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#makersHour</a>

Maaike<a href="https://cupoftea.social/@MakersHour" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@MakersHour@cupoftea.social</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/makershour" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@makershour@a.gup.pe</a> Behold the lumpy no-longer-very-new winding knob on my favourite camera. Started out as 'we'll see how long this will hold' years ago. <a href="https://mendeddrum.org/tags/MakersHour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MakersHour</a>

I really need a wee now, those cuppas were lovely) Ah! Right! LAST QUESTION and then you're FREE! FREE!!! MWUAHAHA! "There's nowt so permanent as a temporary fix" goes the adage. What bodge of yours' remains?A5: Last century, the handle broke on a toilet cistern. I very quickly made up a new one from a block of hardwood. It is still there and in use. It has probably had a longer life than its predecessor. <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/MakersHour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MakersHour</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/makershour" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@makershour@a.gup.pe</a>

Like the seam of the down sleeping bag in the middle of a winter hike. Thank god for travel sewing kits. My favourite is the on the road reconstruction of a bicycle pedal with a knife and a spoon. I can't find any pictures of that one though, so here's a sandal that fell apart on holiday (the glue had disintegrated) that I sewed back together. <a href="https://mendeddrum.org/tags/MakersHour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MakersHour</a>

I'm fairly simple with my making really, but I do find it tends to keep me relatively sane at those times when I think Douglas Adams was on to something with his approach to "the asylum"...<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MakersHour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MakersHour</a>

I mean why attempt to get even when you can get odd?(I am guilty of the odd April Fool that isn't an April Fool, unless you think it is, kind of making thing, but I'm sure that doesn't count)<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MakersHour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MakersHour</a>

MakersHourQuestionsQ4: (No, really, thank you but not another mince pie, I'm stuffed) Huh? Oh, you're looking. Ummm. I suffer the horrors of another cuppa. Oh Heyelp(!). QUESTION? Right! Question! Has your making ever got you OUT of trouble? Maybe you sewed the split inseam of your trousers JUST IN TIME or being a dab-hand with a soldering iron has fixed the thing JUST IN TIME? <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/MakersHour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MakersHour</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/makershour" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@makershour@a.gup.pe</a>

Just the "do you really need all those..." and "are you using this or can it be put away..." and "I'm sure we don't need to keep..." and "you've filled those shelves already?" kind...<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MakersHour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MakersHour</a>

Maaike<a href="https://cupoftea.social/@MakersHour" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@MakersHour@cupoftea.social</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/makershour" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@makershour@a.gup.pe</a> I am incredibly boring and very bad at practical jokes and the like. I'm always in awe of friends of mine who are absolute masters of fake official letters of German police officers threatening fines for illegal camping (a common passtime among my friends) (not me, of course, if never do something illegal, no siree, perish the thought) <a href="https://mendeddrum.org/tags/MakersHour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MakersHour</a>

MakersHourQuestionsQ3: I'm getting looks from Sue now. They're ganging up on me and now I'm having to put up with EXTRA CUSHIONS! THE IGNOMY! While I think of how to get my own back, tell me, how have you gotten your own back through making? Practical jokes and Halloween most definitely count. <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/MakersHour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MakersHour</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/makershour" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@makershour@a.gup.pe</a>

I honestly can't think of any critical failures at inconvenient times or angry people because of something I made. The closest thing is my XR flag I guess. That has gotten some people angry (though several hundred climate protesters blocking the road may have had something to do with that as well). <a href="https://mendeddrum.org/tags/MakersHour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MakersHour</a>

MakersHourQuestionsQ2: More? You dare ask for MO... wrong room. WRONG ROOM. Last week I told you about a book that got me in a lot of trouble at school. How has your making got you in trouble? It's ok, we won't tell anyone.

Hammerhand WorkshopA1: I am <a href="https://sunny.garden/@hammerhand_workshop" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@hammerhand_workshop</a>. This week I've been at the workshop just about every day, trying to get commissions finished and out the door before Dragon Con in 2 weeks. Unfortunately, one customer realized that he had sent me the wrong 3D model only after I had molded it and cast a bunch of buckles. So last night I melted down over a dozen of them and cast new ones. <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/MakersHour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MakersHour</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/makershour" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@makershour</a>

Oh no, how EVER will I survive here with coffee and biscuits and... (huh? QUESTIONS? Fine. Fine.)Made anything? (There, satisfied?!?)A1: Hello, I am Alfred, maker, carer, caretaker, and miniaturist story teller. Not so much made as repaired one of my mini chainsaws. A gear on a shaft had too much end float and was not keyed. Being a cheap tool I just opted to TIG weld the two together and call it done. I suppose I ‘made’ it work again. I have also made an addition to my tool kit. A new Aldi Ferrex Inspection Camera. It has video and image recording, and USBc connectivity. The camera and screen are pretty good, too. It will replace my many years old one with the corroded battery terminals.Tonight’s soundtrack is: A compilation of ‘driving music’.<a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/MakersHour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MakersHour</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/makershour" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@makershour@a.gup.pe</a>
