Much like the Hex Math Cheat Sheet, this is more of a “note to self” post. I use a lot of mason jars. Storage, projects, drinking glasses. I have various custom lids, and a few I’ve glass-etched. They’re all wide-mouth, but I can hardly remember which is which size. So I made a quick cheat-sheet … Continue reading Mason Jar Size Cheat Sheet

This is a followup to my previous post, Designed by Brian, Manufactured by Lasers. That was my “Hello, World” introduction project to laser cutting: simple coasters with etched designs and a coaster-holder. This second laser-cut project was designed to have a bit more 3D, using a couple of interlocking pieces. I do quite a bit … Continue reading Designed by Brian, manufactured by lasers: part 2, The Programmer’s Desk Reference
