20220922 Industrial Sewing

mywdka

Takes real craft skills that I dont currently have 😬 Will need to work on this if planning to use it as a skill. They also have a heavy duty machine for leathers etc. and heavier threads. I love how it is soft and flexible, this doesn't often show up in my work (except prints on fabrics) so definitely interested to explore further.

20220928 Lasercutting

mywdka

Nice potential for control panel fabrication from acrylic, wood, etc. CNC milling machine for bigger parts but cant cut metal unfortunately (which is so much handier for grounding reasons). Lasercutter is super quick though so probably good for prototypes. Can cut greyboard which seems v interesting, as well as possibility to experiment with materials. Made some text pattern thing on faux-rubber bracelets which took maybe an hour to kiss-cut, while simpler cuts were under a minute.

#f00 0.01mm stroke = cut
#00f 0.01mm stroke = kiss-cut
#000 fill (and everything else) = engrave/etch

20220929 Paper making

mywdka

Paper is made from paper

Wilco from the Publication Station.

Paper making is super fun just because it is. With Spin and the Publication Station. It uses a lot of water even on this small scale so nice to consider using rainwater, as well as possibly reclaiming the water from the process. Remember to soak pulp overnight if doing it again. Also fun fact paper from wood was only popularised in the mid 1800s (before that made from cotton).
