Evidence that TOG experiments don’t stay in the hackerspace… they end up in your fridge/breakfast too 😂
Homemade blackberry & apple jam from our Open Social is doing the rounds this morning.
Not a bad way to start the day!

We’re big into our jams at TOG… Linux, Python, finish-a-thons – and now actual JAM. 🍓

With 3.2kg of blackberries from the Royal Canal + apples from a member’s tree, we made ~24 jars of jam at our Open Social (with the pizza oven going too!).

One of our members tackled an upholstery repair on this chair – stripped, re-padded and recovered instead of thrown away.

It’s a lovely reminder that repair skills live right alongside coding, 3D printing and electronics in a makerspace. Keep it, fix it, use it again. 💚

A sneak preview of this year's Christmas decoration. We have a new designer this year, with Ambrose taking over the duty. We will be making lots of them over the next month before sending them out.

🧵 New blog post from TOG Hackerspace!

We’ve been thinking about repair culture, Repair Cafés and… darning socks. A pair of Inisheer socks were saved from the bin with a quick bit of needle-and-thread magic.

Open Night (Tues 19:00): we gave a small pump a longer, safer mains lead and proper strain relief. It now reaches the outlet like a champ and purrs on test.
Bring your nearly-working gadgets next week — we’ve hot solder and hotter tea.
