So I’ve had this router guide sitting waiting on a use case when it finally comes up today so I grab it and get ready to mount the router to it and guess what? That’s right, I don’t know what routers this came pre-drilled for but it sure was not Bosch! Nothing even close. So what do we do? Grab calipers of course. Four countersunk screw holes all done on the glowforge. I had some scrap acrylic so I experimented on it for working out the depths of the countersinks. Went together perfectly.

I’ve been making buttons from my earsavers acrylic scraps. My grandma’s button box was one of my favorite things, and I don’t even HAVE one! That’s changing now. :wink:

It might be my eyes… but I don’t see any holes?

Note: I said working on ways. From using tiny magnets to bamboo with holes to actually making holes, or cut and engrave this and glue to the back…

Refrigerator magnets?

They are great for that! The central dome is thick enough I can drill most of the way through and use 1/8 inch neomagnets or I have thar rubber magnet stuff that came in one-inch diameter just glued in place,

I just posted a square string spool to the Free Designs area.

Now I just need to design a gear driven winder for it. :wink:

we rarely (like, only when there’s company) eat in the dining room. we eat in the family room, sitting on the sofa, watching TV. and my “TV tray” is really a laptop table. and it has a laptop on it. i’m often not watching TV, but surfing. keyboard not necessary for that, just a mouse and the screen.

my old laptop had recessed keys, so i could get away with resting my plate on the handrest portion. but the most recent laptop has keys that rise above the surface. creating a problem. i finally decided to do something about it.

so today i cut a little stand that covers the base of the laptop and gives me a safe surface for a plate or bowl without having to close the laptop.
