I did a lot of handicrafts in the years 2016 and 2017. In this post, I will show you some of them.
I needed a stand for my netbook in 2016. The previous one consisted of Lego blocks. It did work somehow but it was not comfortable enough. So I decided to craft one out of wood. I wanted it to be elevatable and tiltable. The simplest solution I came up with was using a stacking system with stacking blocks which come in two sizes. As I know that I tend to misplace or loose stuff, I built a case for the stacking blocks in addition. The case can be attached to the underside of the upper half of the stand via velcro tape.
Everything arranged (the arrangement looks different today; the desk is standing on the balcony and the stand on my roll cage now)
(memo to myself: I need to make some adjustments to the CSS of the attachments making images shown side by side instead of one underneath the other;
Edit: done)
You may have seen that I'm a huge fan of the
Doctor Who series. And now guess what I put together....... a sonic screwdriver! It consists of various parts I found in the household, an old Lego spaceship module (for the light and sound effects), and a lot of superglue. I made this as a prop for my Halloween costume in 2016: the ghost version of the Doctor in "Under the lake"/"Before the Flood". Next time I make something like this, I will use the hot glue gun instead which I bought some months later (and the hot glue is still lying untouched in the drawer
).
