Finally got to try out block printing with a linocut I did a few months ago.  Not bad results for a first go I think!  Tried a couple different papers and also fabric.  Huge thanks to everyone over at the printing area for setting this up, and to Maya and Sylvia for getting me rolling!

Those look awesome for a first attempt! It can take a bit of practice to get the amount of ink just right, as well as the pressure when doing the print.

Were these hand burnished or did you use a press?

I've been doing some experiments with ebikes.

I just finished this.  The fifth experiment. 

About to begin my sixth bike project!

I bought an recapped a 25 year old Krell KAV-300i stereo amplifier. Sounds great!

There were about 40+ electrolytic caps to replace, plus a few other parts that were damaged by heat. About $100 worth of parts in all.

I made another painting using the sand table Arrakis 2.0:

I made a ladder for Ms. Kitty to climb up a wood post in my livingroom:

There are 6 steps about 18" apart. Each step is just a pine board, sealed with one coat of polyurethane, and covered with a piece of self adhesive carpet tile. The steps are mounted using 3D printed brackets screwed to the back side of the post. I'll be adding either a platform at the top or a long plank that she can run on.

I recapped the crossovers in a pair of 20 year old Canton Ergo 22DC speakers:

They sound great with the Krell amplifier. I also got an SVS 3000 Micro sub to go with them. Amazing little box! I'm expecting the neighbors to complain any minute now...
