Time for a hack on #mayformakers2021 day 6. You Time for a hack on #mayformakers2021 day 6. You may not know this but you can use Amazon’s Alexa service without an Echo device. Just put the app on your smartphone and you get access to Alexa skills. This means you can direct your time and money towards making your own IoT devices linked to the Amazon ecosystem. Does anyone remember the Alexa powered finger that Bob at @iliketomakestuff made? #mayformakers #maker #alexa
Day 5 of #mayformakers2021 and here’s what I hop Day 5 of #mayformakers2021 and here’s what I hope to have published “By the end of the month”. This time last year I started working on a laser cut chess pieces. I then got very distracted by #thequeensgambitnetflix. The set is complete, just need to finish the video and reveal the mystery element. There will be a project page on the site, a YouTube video and plans available to buy. I just need a haircut first before I let a camera point in my direction. #mayformakers #makersofinstagram #makersofyoutube #lasercutting #chess
For Day 4 of #mayformakers2021 it’s all about wh For Day 4 of #mayformakers2021 it’s all about what’s on my plate. At the moment, nothing but strictly speaking this @anycubicofficial build plate belongs to @thatmakerboy. He shares the Tinkerspace with me but most of his work is done on the lathe in my father-in-law’s workshop. I am hosting an online poker game this evening though. So there’s that. 😉 #mayformakers #anycubicphoton
Day 3 of #mayformakers2021 and I’m going to show Day 3 of #mayformakers2021 and I’m going to show you what “could” be an upcoming project. In fact, they’ll all be upcoming projects. I just need to sit down and work out which one to do after I finish the current one. First on the list is an IoT button with a simple display. This may or may not be solar powered, it just depends on whether it needs it. I also have some angled pieces I want to build into jigs for my bandsaw. But I may end up making use of this Raspberry Pi Display module that I picked up at the last MakersCentral. Wow was that really 2 years ago?! All this being said, I might sneak in a project to convert this old power supply for my Tinkerspace. #mayformakers
Day 2 of #MayForMakers2021 is all about the work s Day 2 of #MayForMakers2021 is all about the work space, or in my case The Tinkerspace. Many, many years ago (With the help of family and friends) our garage was split into two spaces. The clean room is my home office, which eventually grew into the place where I make most of my stuff. It’s where we keep laser equipment and 3d printers. I have a dedicated tinker area that my camera jig or drawing board can comfortably site on. The other part is the Is the not-so-clean room, where wood and metal are separated and recombined. This second part have been doubling up as storage for supplies during lockdown, so it’s not getting much use at the moment. Hoping that normality will return soon.
Time to play catch up. I’m excited about #MayF Time to play catch up. I’m excited about #MayForMakers2021 ! My name is Rob. I’m a software DevOps engineer during the week, and an avid maker, tinkerneer at night and on the weekends. My wife and I have been happily married for almost 20 years, and have a spawned an 18yo and a 15yo. My wife is an assistant teacher and our eldest is a keen Air Cadet. I’m a big Sci-Fi nerd with a preference for the future (heavily influenced by Star Trek, Doctor Who and Hitchhiker’s Guide). My maker projects are quite varied, and the new wheel on my wagon has to be laser cutting and engraving. Programming will always be my first love though, I’ve been at it since I was 12. I’m always eager to learn new skills and to share with others. I’m grateful to have found the maker community as an adult and to have made some amazing friends and acquaintances. I look forward to reconnecting with many of them again soon. P.S. a big shout out to @tinkeringrocks, who I lifted most of this post from.
I can’t believe so many of you have been watchin I can’t believe so many of you have been watching me potter about in the back of my garage, tinkering with all those projects. Thank you so much. More to come in 2021 . . . Soon.

Been playing with this today. If you haven’t see Been playing with this today. If you haven’t seen one before, it’s a case for the RaspberryPi. I love how my PiZeroW fits into the case via the cartridge.
