What's everyone up to right now?
RE: What's everyone up to right now?
Baking sweet potatoes in the air fryer. Testing the second of two 1 TB SSDs that I'm going to use as a gaming drive. Amazon's January 31st holiday return window is closing fast.

It hasn’t been decided yet. The last one was made out of a hardback edition of ‘Moby Dick’. It was a gift for a friend who showed it around and now one of HER friends wants to commission a lamp. I’m doing sketches of various designs so she can pick one.

Not sure I understand. The lamp is made of paper? Or the shade panels?

Boru may be using a ready made lamp shade frame and being creative with the shade panels Dunno

The lamp body itself is made out of the book. It involved a lot of spray lacquer and some epoxy resin. The shade is linen.

Thanks! I was hoping for some beaten iron work, though.  Cool

I have been going back and forth on purchasing an air fryer.  Do you like it?  What stuff do you make in it other than sweet potatoes.

People use air fryers on very low settings to dry the spools of filament for 3D printing.
The most common type of plastic filament: PLA (polylactic acid) absorbs water ...

Probably not exactly what you wanted to know about air fryers...! Big Grin

I mostly use it for fries, onion rings, and breaded stuff like chicken or fish. I like it a lot. It was only $40, so I figured I'd try it. Very happy with it.

Thanks!  There are only two of us so I can get by with a small one.  I may revisit the idea of purchasing one.
