I like Wordle, but I don’t like that there is a single (theoretically) starting move that is statistically best. If the opening move is always the same, then it shouldn’t be a move.

Inch Conversions Table
I wanted a chart of inch fractions to decimal values to put on the wall, since I can never seem to find my ruler with them printed on it. I tried to make it in the style of a mathematical/engineering tables from the first half of the prior century. Insiprations being some volumes I own: “Mechanical Engineers’ Pocket Book” (9th ed. 1915), “Mathematical tables from Handbook…
Second Wooden Air Return
I previously created a wooden air return vent and mentioned that there was a second, larger spot in the floor that needed a vent.
Work Table from Old Notebook
I’m not sure when this design was from, the notebook it’s drawn in has a 1998 calendar printed on it, but it’s more likely 2000-2001. I was old enough to attempt a cavelier projection, but not old enough to spell “batteries” correctly (pre-teens probably).
Comic Box
My daughter needed a place to store comic books, and for some reason I thought making dovetails was a good idea.
Whiteboard Calendar
There is always much difficulty in my house involving the calendar—constant flippings, erasings and rewitings of events with handwritting rapidly approaching the microscopic. A whiteboard calendar seemed the cure for our scheduling ailments, but even that comes with its own side-effects—usually only show one month and usually look jarringly modern compared to the rest of our house. While I could…
Love Baker
When asked why his bread is so good, The Baker will always say with a smile “The Secret Ingedient is Love”. The hard part turned out to be finding more Love to use when all of his was gone.
Website Color Updates
Adjusting the color scheme of this website, adapting Penumbra to this purpose.
Bone Eater
“ I WILL EAT YOUR BONES ” With those words reverberating in your head, a massive shape starts to emerge from the shadows. Something approximating a head—as if modeled in clay by a young child—appears; chalky white, split nearly in half by a mouth over-filled with fist-sized square teeth. The bone eater’s head is supported by several pale jointed legs, like those of a misshapen…
Bob Humanson
A stocky. . . man, standing 4ft 3inches tall with a horribly-scarred face scowls at you while fingering the blade of his axe.

Air Return Vent
My house has a couple places where an old-style wooden grate used to be. I’ve been putting off making them for some time, cutting all the notches to fit the grid together just seemed tedious.

Roof Spare Tire
Jeeps should have a tailgate-mounted spare tire. Mine is no exception.
Swivel Fan Base
I have a fan. Unfortunately, it’s a broken fan. Apparently the manufacturer did not design it with children in mind. Silly engineers, not factoring in 30 pounds of kid hanging off of it. Well, now it’s base has broken, and been glued back together… then broken again1. I suppose the simplest solution is to just cut out a cylinder of wood with a hole for the cable, and then screw…

Tachy the Tachometer Part I
I find myself in need of a tachometer, for my lawnmower. Why? Well, I generally don’t worry too much about little things like reasons and justification. Let’s just say that this lawnmower has been a small heap of trouble and any diagnostic may be useful. So, here’s what I’m working with, a Poulan Pro PR25PH48ST with a Briggs and Stratton 445777. Now I’ve just got to…
