  @recantha@mastodon.social but hey, democratising technology to allow access and learning for all...

  @Maker_of_Things@cupoftea.social so much chipboard in this one. And the feet are under the arms, but they're a separate module that's badly nailed to the main body - I expected a cross bar that went from front foot to front foot!

  By the way, any furniture makers out there; Why is there a black, woven plastic, sheet on the underside of sofas and am chairs? What is the purpose, other than to collect loose change and crumbs? #makersHour

  Ming update: she's a little more active, but still floppy and sleeping a lot. She's on two lots of painkillers still, so she's probably fairly stoned. She IS eating, little and often, and finished off the last of her rescue fluids from a saucer by herself. She's washing, but she hasn't slapped valencia in ages, and she's still not right. Hoping it's the painkillers, and that when we withdraw them, her appetite remains.

  #makersHour lovely peeps, alas I shall not be in attendance. Thoroughly shattered thanks to what's been going on with ming. Keep falling asleep. Hopefully I'll catch you next week 👍

  Valencia is cross that poorly Ming is getting all the attention, so she stole my phone and took a selfie #CatsOfMastodon #cats

  Autowok: @MakersHour Q1: Say hi, and tell us what you’ve been doing this week. #MakersHour Took the back off one of my printers, trying to fix an intermittent error. I don't think i solved it, but the printer is freshly lubricated now, at least!

  @MakersHour@cupoftea.socialAutowok: @MakersHour Q2: Were you a maker as a child? If so, what? #MakersHour I've always made stuff. Changing a computer game contents using a paperclip was my first, but all through my time working with #playschemes and play buses we made things, and my mum ran a soft toy business who supplied the local Lions chapter with lions for a long time, and i helped with that too.

  @MakersHour@cupoftea.socialAutowok: @MakersHour Q3: How many tools do you have? To the nearest significant figure… #MakersHour Haha ha haha wow, erm, few hundred, if I include every screwdriver and hex key!

  Autowok: @MakersHour Q4: If you are struggling with a make, what do you do to over come it? #MakersHour Pretend it doesn't exist until the Idea Worms threaten rebellion, then get to research!

  #projecthailmary releases in cinemas today. Thanks to my health, I can't do cinemas. Really really want to see this film like almost no other before it. *sigh* will have to grab it on stream.

  Addressed to the household by name, individually referring to us by our first names as if they're familiar with us. Enough to make our skin crawl. Euw. No phone number attached. Scared I'll ring and ask what country Farage is in this time. Notable there's no candidate mentioned. #ukpolitics

  AutoWok on #makershour: A5 I try and help out where I can online, but other than that we're back at my first answer, the kids. They know i will teach them to use any tool i have, and I encourage them with their various making (3d modelling and coding come up quite a lot as they both study games design)

  "And they tell me, stick to the autocue, Mr President, stick to the script. It was a good script, the greatest the world had maybe ever seen, and I just smiled and said sure, but you know what? I'm the president, and i should have been president but sleepy Joe stole. It. But that's OK, that's OK, I mean look at all the wars we've stopped! And ICE? Never been more popular than they are now. Unlike those wind turbines killing whales. They get caught in those great bug propelle...
