I made an X-mass scarf today…

With family coming in for Thanksgiving from all over, I wanted to make a holiday scarf that really slapped people in the face with a big sack of JOY! Something not so annoyingly gaudy that I would not go out in public with it, but at the same time visually irresistible.

So the Ultimate Holiday Scarf is born.

This scarf is designed to look like a Christmas tree with all the trimmings. Aside from the glittery tinsel, I added some NeoPixel LEDs from Adafruit to really brighten the mood. Upon startup, the scarf will play a holiday tune to get you going while putting on a colorful LED light show. People love the scarf, then drop their jaws when it is turned on.

Playing with large robots.

Today we start getting trained on how to use the new large CNC mill that we will have access to at the makerspace.

This thing can take a sheet of plywood and cut it into whatever parts and pieces you could ever need. It also has 12 tool heads that it will change automatically. That means I no longer have to switch bits halfway through a job.

Fun times 🙂
