Glowies are now available online! This is our new line of rechargeable jewelry made out of fun LED shapes. We can make any as a necklace, earrings, or lobster claws for clipping onto hoops (great for folks who put hoops thru their gauges). www.alpenglowindustries.com/collections/...

IT’S DONE! A cross stitch T-120 VHS to go with the Polaroid VHS I made awhile back. This one is full of Space Ghost: Coast 2 Coast taped off late-night Cartoon Network in the late 1990s.

Nothing like making some rainbows on a rainy day. The new jig is great, swappable lower plate to fit the shape, makes soldering these up so much nicer!

Hot off the presses for my electronicsy peeps - I got asked if I'd sell the Glowie base without the LED soldered on, because someone already had a bunch of shapes. Sure! It’s unlisted right now to avoid confusion, but feel free to share with other makers. www.alpenglowindustries.com/products/glo...

I caved and moved my nice Hakko again onto my living room floor where the Cool S is happening. Back in business. These angle connectors are great!

Oops, I gave my strips a pitch of 2.54mm and these LED strips are 3mm pitch. It's manageable, but I need a quick way to adjust that in the KiCad model.

Reminding myself to quadruple-check the polarity of these strips before turning on the iron.....

This is excellent, check out the custom flex connection system for attaching the strips at different angles.

One of the things I love about SLO is that the street signs are all in Uncial. It’s terribly fantastic. Image copied from the internet: external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%...
