A few things I made this weekend

weekend8Desperately needed a bit of time off this weekend. Last week and next few weeks are going to be horrible at work.

Went cycling on Staturday morning, then did a some DIY around the house and garden.

Made a design during the week and wanted to try on the Bamboo wood with the laser cutter. The top opens by rotating around a small bolt. It stays closed because of a couple of neodymium magnets. Came out nice. I might create a few different shape designs.

The Bamboo cuts nicely and there is not too much mess to clean-up after the cutting. I did 2 boxes, the first one was my “prototype” and then moved to the bamboo sheet which is a little bit more expensive.

I will use the bamboo one to keep a few seeds from the peppers I like to try to grow them next year !…

Installed a few lights in the garden. Struggled with the 12V connections, there is no good 3 way connection for 12V lighting. It is all proprietary connections or simply soldering bits together. I ended-up soldering pieces of wires and using self-amalgamating tape to make weather proof.

I spent  bit of time polishing the lights to make them last a bit longer this winter. Replaced it all with LED lights. All looking quite nice.
