I've been meaning to make a project thread for a while. Had a whole big OP and everything, but kept chickening out. So here it is. Post your projects. I do a little bit of everything but nothing well, so i'll post mine once in a while and bump it. Try to be supportive, and keep in mind people generally don't need criticism unless they request it. Gonna come back in a bit and post my findings (so far) on rhubarb sauce (technically a compote, but we just called it sauce). POST.

Was reminiscing about my grandma's rhubarb sauce recently bc I harvested grapes from a grandparent in law and made juice and the whole experience was a lot of fun. Turns out it's the basic 3 ingredient compote of fruit, sugar, water. My rhubarb plant is super sad cause I planted it on the wrong side of the house: But it keeps coming back so I think I can move it and give it a couple years and it'll thrive. So anyways I had to get some at the store, which I think is shameful for a Minnesotan. The basic recipe here was 2 lb rhubarb chopped to 1/2 inch, 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup sugar. Boil for 10-15 mins (you want the chunks, don't go too far). I saw a recipe with lemon zest which was interesting so I did that for half and it really brightened it up. All in all, I think it was too much sugar to match my memory, but I'll ask around about getting some free rhubarb and try again. This one may belong in the cooking thread, but I wanted to get the ball rolling. Canning next time.

Lpzie posted:post the Dome CURRENT STATE Was gonna be different but $$ and time, so this is where we are at. Next steps, getting the windows secured in and water right, and sealing any potential leaks with heat applied tar tape (?). Also door, but for that I'm just gonna buy a used door and rip it down to size.

I'm refinishing my cabinet doors and I am at a low point in the process. I sanded them Re-filled the holes and painted the wood filler to match the grain Now I have stained & shellacked. Which went fine. My first coat of poly looks great from a distance but it's full of pinhole bubbles So I get to hand sand through that and start applying thinner coats. I'm very, very displeased about that. But I am trying to keep a positive outlook

Ah yeah, I heard you can blast it with air to get bubbles out before they set, but I'd have to ask my finisher friend if that's true. Sucks, but you got a good start.

No in progress pics for this but at my wife's request I resprayed our camp stove. Went from this: To this: I just used rattlecans on it, but I did add a clearcoat. It's held up nicely over 3 trips so far!

The idea was to make an overworld planning app to create metroidvania worlds. To me this meant a central starting point with crisscrossing paths and expanded exploration etc. I got the map planner working and then made it work with Super Metroid. This meant taking these worlds and translating them to work with the SNES game itself which presented a bunch of challenges. Once that happened I started pushing all of this into a web database and then created a webapp to let several users work on any number of maps/rooms at any given time. This way it can be a collaborative effort because to me making games is difficult. Cross-posted from the ROMhack thread: 19 o'clock posted:During the pandemic I got really into playing some Super Metroid rom hacks. SM Redesign: Axeil Edition was especially good in my opinion. Vitality really showed off how gorgeous the game can look and was also fun to play. Play both if you get a chance. ...afterward I started getting into modifying the actual rooms themselves... 19 o'clock posted:Lately there's been lots of low-hanging fruit so adding fun stuff has been easier. Added grapple/bombable/speed booster/x-ray blocks, point-and-click enemies/items, and a boatload of keyboard and mouse macros. Making a toggled larger cursor for carving out rooms was a huge relief. Here are some more gifs of the builds/plays: and eventually got things on the web... 19 o'clock posted:Right now I have all of the map/room data living on my webhost. My desktop app is compiling all of the current builds every 20 minutes and reuploading them to the webapp. You can see the timestamps/links of the IPS patches as they become available for any given build. DM me for a link/readme if you want to play! I'll hopefully get a dedicated domain up sometime soon but this is just for fun right now. 19 o'clock has issued a correction as of 01:03 on Aug 29, 2023 |

I got to show you this table I just scored. I'm very slowly turning the carriage house into a workspace/lair and I just scored a table stout enough for me to put a vise on it. Dumpster score of the month!

you should cover the dome in strips of 'spacer mesh' or wicking mesh fabric and get some vining plant all over it.

I put sand in the paint for grippiness for that purpose (also to make the imperfections less noticeable). I transplanted that vine there but it's not doing too good so far, but I think it'll come back next year.

Hell yeah, the only thread started by project dad's for project dad's. I built this sailing canoe over the winter and have been exploring the Salish sea. Took my smallest kid on a camping trip to a nearby island a few weeks ago. It owned.

I built a little free library earlier this year. It's janky and uneven but came together nicely and the paint makes it look nice. Got lazy and haven't installed it yet. Soon the neighborhood will have a place to get all their theory texts for free though.
