Made this 9x5.5 in plaque for coworker planning to climb Mt Kilimanjaro on 50th birthday! Not TTRPG related, but a great experience. Dimensioned wood, hand draw the map from the unusable image he gave me, then sanding, chamfer, and finishing w beeswax / mineral oil. ☹️Underpriced but was learning!😄

Got a couple of orders in for my TTRPG / OSR hex tiles! Sending those out today with lots of love to some fellow GMs. They said they’re gonna be playing some Shadowdark! I’ll be running some D&D 5e and Cairn 2e this weekend with these myself

Making progress on this board! Too bad I don’t have a drum sander… but at least I know where I can go use one!

Prototyped this for a couple weeks. Friend needed to store jewelry they sell on Etsy… had to fit in a Kallex shelf cube.
I designed the shelves to slide. They are clear acrylic, but still have a lot of the masking on for shipping. Held together by friction, will glue up.
Super happy with this! 😺

Cutting board glue up…. just scraped the squeeze out off. Next week, gonna try to get 4 more boards in the pipeline. Will continue to update as these come together. Only problem is that these parallel clamps are so $$$!! I need at least 4 per board. Gonna need more if I’m gonna batch these

I thought I had dimensioned enough wood for at least three cutting boards… but apparently you can never have enough hardwood!

All right, it’s time to glue up some cutting boards! Now I need some ideas on what to engrave on them. They can’t all be TTRPG related because I have to actually sell some to the normies!!

I now understand the basics of laser tab slot joinery and kerf.. essential concepts to building cool stuff. I didn’t understand these things a few hours ago. @cuttlexyz.bsky.social thanks so much!

@miniraawr.bsky.social here you go! Most of my work has been focused on supporting TTRPG players. These hex tiles are engraved ceramic tiles, with TPU holders. (See video in thread). And then I have also been selling these tokens. With my new XTool P3, though, I'm now experimenting with wood art

Just picked up the new forgotten realms expansion for D&D 2024. Not super impressed with the adventure design, but the content of the book is awesome in terms of art, maps and ideas.
Annoying though that the forgotten realms wall poster map is only included in the companion player options book

Big token order from a Shadowrun GM! They did a great job picking out colors & icons from game-icons.net. Shipping out tomorrow!
Was cool taking a little detour away from fantasy settings.
Would love to make someone a set of tailored tokens or hex tiles!

Another off my to-do list! Spotify in the🗑️!
So... Target down (1.5 years strong); Disney+ down (1 month and counting); Spotify down... who's next?
Not an MBA, but these companies have made a grave economic miscalculation I think.

GM friend needed some tokens to hand out for when the worst happens! 40 mm x 3 mm brass coin, laser embossed and polished. Turned out great! Nice cursed pirate treasure vibe. Said he’ll also use for luck tokens… makes sense for OSR 😂💀👻
Lengthy backstories not needed 🤘

I went out and picked this up from a local collectible store when I thought that ST Picard S3 was going to be bold and make the BBEG something daring… like Armus! All the signs were there, man… but I suppose we always knew it was going to be what it was. It’s always… them. It was… futile.. to hope.

Had fun handing out 3D printed pins today at my local NoKings gathering today. Lots of whimsy... lots of quirkiness and fun... lots of peacefully restrained outrage at what's happening.
Favorite sign today: "It's so bad that the INTROVERTS showed up today"
Freaking MOOD! Time to recharge the 🔋s!

Epic embossing failure 😭This was supposed to be a renaissance sculpture relief.
Pro tip:
Don’t attempt embossing on heterogeneous minerals 😂

Just finished these up for a custom job on my ceramic hex tiles! I mostly do tiles for games like Shadowdark and OSR style terrain… but this customer wanted some modern cities and resources. Had a lot of fun doing these pictures! And they turned out great on ceramic

Walking around in our local mall, this empty Macy’s struck me. Such a strange site for this kid who grew up in the 90s.

I remember the “past the halfway” mark with my wife. Thought, huh… “before” is a lot hazier now… because “growing up” has meant growing alongside my best friend and our children. She has helped transform me into a new soul. Also, here’s our painting… wedding gift from long ago, hanging in our 🏡
