This evening’s adventure in leatherwork: in my continuing quest to sprint before I can walk I attempted dyeing some veg tan leather, making a wallet, burnishing the edges and then applying black edge paint. I also designed and 3D printed some stamps to put my marks on the leather.

An excellent delivery arrived from down under today! They may never even get played as I don’t have a CD player but I wanted to support the band (@butterfingersmusic) and I know they get half of bugger all when I listen on Spotify. #butterfingers #properdecentfellas #supportindiemusic

My favourite wallet broke a few years back and the company I bought it from don’t make it anymore. So tonight I had a go at making it. It’s not perfect and ideally it should be a thinner leather but for my second piece of leather work I’m encouraged by how it turned out.

Very happy to finally announce that Catherine and I are expecting our first tiny human! After three years of fertility appointments, surgeries for us both and two rounds of IVF, we’re relieved, excited and a little bit terrified. 😊

I’ve been playing about in blender trying to make a material that looks like a 3D print. It’s not quite there but I quite like this. #b3d

Balls! Just over 80 face-shield bands printed and I get a blob of doom. It melted the wires that go to the heater cartridge so the printer is dead until the replacement arrives. Expedited shipping from @josefprusa in Prague should have it here in a couple of days and then I’ll be back up and running. #stayhomestaysafe

That's all folks!
