Q5: Tell us about a mundane project you have started, that developed into something surprisingly more fun than expected. #MakersHour
I dunno if it was mundane, but when I decided to renovate a dolls house and make some simple furniture for it, it got a bit out of hand.
@MakersHour A2. Sourcing materials when starting out in needlework? Scrap fabric from old clothes can be good for small projects. A craft thrift store can be an excellent if somewhat random source. Often craft patterns can be purchased with a packet of materials.
Q2: Do you have a top tip for sourcing materials for someone starting out in your chosen craft? Please share it. #MakersHour

Q4: Do you have a making idea that you felt was really too over the top to realistically attempt? Tell us about those really off the wall ideas you have. #MakersHour
A4 I'd love to build a boat, or a plane. But I just don't have he space to do that. Building a boat in an apartment isn't entirely practical...

A3 I've 3d printed a few flower pots for myself and friends. These I've given as gifts with a devils ivy plant I've propogated from cuttings. It's worked well.
@MakersHour Here's an example of the print I made for myself:

this is the pot I've printed:
Newest in the collection. This is a... Green and spiky plant. In a 3d printed d20 with 5 faces sliced off. It's 215mm across the front. And with all the rocks. It's heavy. I'm really pleased with it.

Q1: Hello, We’re doing a clear out at the moment. Are there things in your creative space that you wish you could clear out, maybe to other makers? #MakersHour
A1 my workspace at home is in desperate need of a tidy up. The Makerspace is in the process of moving to a new location which is giving us a great opportunity to throw some stuff out that noones touched for years.

Q5 What is your favourite music/sound to make to, or do you prefer silence? #MakersHour
A5 I put on my noise cancelling headphones, and like to listen to music as I work. The music varies a lot. When I get in the zone I often sing a long or whistle. My singing is truly awful, and only something I do if I'm alone in the workshop.
Q4 Do you have a travelling makers kit? If so what’s in it and how do you store it? #MakersHour
A4 Kinda sorta. I have a backpack that goes too and from the makerspace with me which contains some tools that I want there, but also want at home. It contains some marking tools, measuring tools, and a lot of drill bits... I then supplement this with other tools that I think I'm gonna need on a given day. All of my tooling is portable to some degree.
