A non-jewellery post, for a change. We were running a bit short on shelving in the kitchen and wanted somewhere we could store all the preserves we're going to make from the garden this year, so we went to the timber yard to see what they had. They had this, 155cm long piece of chestnut.
Read this article on how a guy filled up the cracks in a panel of wood with glowing blue resin. Its looks really cool.

A very cool video on how spark fun makes their widgets. Must watch
This was a quick project to build a data logger, useful around the lab or elsewhere. So quick it can be built in a couple of hours, and with dozens of uses. The facility to log events or values over time is extremely important for many projects - it is a useful Swiss army knife to have around when needed.
Build a simple data logger, using Tiva Launchpad. We did not build it ourself but this one definitely looks interesting.

Some people (not me) can successfully solder incredibly tiny Quad Flad No-lead (QFN) parts such as the one in the photo below by hand using a soldering iron or a hot air gun (the photo below is from a commercial board, not hand soldered). For wireless devices and modern sensors, surface mount device (SMD) packages as small as QFN have become the normal, default package.
Building a reflow oven. We have not build this one. This is something that we definitely want to build sometime in the future.

Watch the power of friction. In this video, two plates are welded together using friction welding. One plate is kept stationary, while the other one is made to rotate. Friction heats up the surface and on stoping the rotation of the plate, both the plates fuse together

Making of a shade. Watch how this beautiful shade is made. Although we think the process is extremely wasteful, we also think that is requires a lot of craftsmanship to pull this out off.
