Big Clive has been an inspiration for years and although I often do not understand sh*t of what he is doing, he did inspire me to start experimenting with electronics and hurray, here is a result! An attempt to get rid of those pesky cats peeing just EVERYWHERE! The device (the …
A project I have been working on for some time was the pull tab archaeology statab puzzle. A fun idea to make pull tab inspired art and an excuse to use my Hegner scroll-saw, a machine I fell in love with last year and was worth every buck! And the box was made by…my mother! …
