My daughter is really into Star Trek. So for her 11th birthday I got her some ship Lego models from minitrekmocs.com. These are so adorable I think she's going to love them. My favorite is the Bird of Prey. Of course I had to build them myself to make sure all the parts arrived from BrickLink.

I've used my Leifheit aluminum ladder for years with a missing foot making it wobbly. Inspired by ShopTherapy chan on YT I designed a replacement foot for it and printed it in TPU. Made a little challenging as the aluminum tube wasn't a rectangle but a squoval.. (squircle?) instead. #3dprinting

I finally got around to assembling my Giant Classic Space Computer from Sean @cworthdynamics.bsky.social and it is just glorious. I had just about every blue/grey space set growing up. Now this is done maybe I can get around to the new Galaxy Explorer set I've had for 2+ years. Thanks Sean!

I am starting to think Dr Manhattan had the right idea.

I generally take my snack pickles in a mug to keep the drips at bay. My family finds it amusing so I decided to get a special pickle mug made. The Rather Dapper pickle art is from SyMoyvin on DeviantArt.

Kids got a kick out of this giant wreath I made out of 3D printed super sized LEGO style tree branch parts. Was a fun little project!

I made Star Trek themed cutting board for a good friend and fellow #FOD recently. The board is maple and the accent and inlay are sapele (which I love for the shimmer) #woodworking #startrek #greatesttrek

The amount of human suffering (or at least annoyance) that has been caused by Ikea's decision to put swivel wheels on the front AND back of their carts has to be immense. I would not be surprised if it was some sort of purposeful worldwide experiment on just how much a customer can put up with.
