There's very little time left to get your signs delivered in time for Christmas - order from http://Lewiswork.etsy.com ASAP if you're based in the UK. International fans - Sorry, it's already too late.

*Boosts appreciated to spread the word.

Red sign with the text "do nothing, touch nothing, get Kryten"
Joke Industrial sign with a high voltage icon and the text "Danger, legacy Electrical Hazard. This equipment operates at higher voltage than the electric chair and was built before electrical safety standards were enforced"

That's better... The first of three Fatmax organisers to fit under my counter. I've been meaning to make these for about 3 years but haven't gotten around to it. All 3 will cut out from a single full sheet of plywood.

They've restored communications to voyager 1. Meanwhile, I still can't get my bluetooth speaker to connect reliably in the workshop, the car keeps losing my seat and mirror position settings and won't report its charge status through the app, and the cooker exploded.

Life seems to involve a lot more plumbing than I expected.

Maker's Central was a great success - both generally and for me specifically. What other events would you like to see Lewis Workshop at?

*Don't say @emf - it's not a practical option for me as a business unless they change the way the night market works.

@Extelec @lpoolmakefest I didn't think they actually had sellers on site there, but I'll look into it. Thanks!

I've made a couple of changes to some signs on my website at http://lewis-workshop.com - have a look if you're interested in getting something shiny and fun.

Father's day is almost here, and Lewiswork.etsy.com has the mugs and metal signs to make a geek smile. Go and take a look if you haven't already.

We brought some silicone rubber to fix a leak in the shower, and 24 hours later the bathroom didn't have any walls or a floor. Now it does have some walls and a floor again, but it doesn't yet have a shower, which is the opposite problem to what we started out with.

There's a new sign available from my store - It's all fun and games until the SCP fails.

It's a lean month, and I love luxuries like food and shelter - Boosts and reposting on other platforms is appreciated.

Due to life and plumbing, my resources are unexpectedly diminished. I've just added a couple of new signs, so now would be an excellent time to help out by browsing through my Etsy store at http://Lewiswork.etsy.com and getting yourself something nice.

Boosts appreciated to maximise reach.

Hands up if you drilled a 25mm hole in the wrong place on 200 quid's worth of materials today. 😭

I know I'm doing more advertising of http://Lewiswork.etsy.com on here than I used to, but things really are a bit tight at the moment. If you're looking for inappropriate warnings, have a look at my store.

Go on, treat yourself to something rude.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a smallish (12"-24") vinyl cutter? Obviously not a Cricut, but what about a Silhouette, or Vevor, or Roland? Something else?

Anyone got anything they're looking to sell?

You know what? Bugger woodworkers making things in giant workshops. I want to see an amateur from the arse end of urban decay. Cramped in a humid room with the smell of fungus. I want to see them trying to mark and cut a sheet of plywood with it balanced on the back of a chair at an angle, while a pallid energy saving light bulb sweats electric twilight into the room. I want to see the rage boil in their eyes as the pound shop screw driver bits shatter and strip the head for the third time.

It's not just new things I'm making for Maker's Central, I've got some old favourites coming back into stock. They'll also be coming to the etsy store next month, after I rejig everything. It's taking a while because there's only me and I'm easily distracted by minor things like food, sleeping, and having a 15 week old daughter 🥴.

It feels very strange having boxes full of stock ready made and stacked around me shoulder high. Very different to working with a few items at a time and producing on demand.

@philpem absolutely, yes - if you can hang on a couple of days, I'll be updating the etsy site. I don't have 20oz, but I do have 15oz.

If your door doesn't have a sign like this, do you even science, bro?!

Get it from my store: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1412779927/everything-will-kill-you-funny-metal

*once again, I stand here as a small business owner and ask you to boost my shenanigans so that I may afford food and shelter.

Does anyone know a source for paper packing tape that doesn't use a latex adhesive? I like the environment, but I also like being alive.

We’re now far enough along the adoption curve for that we’re seeing the collapse of the smoke and mirrors stage, as we enter the trough of disillusionment. https://gizmodo.com/amazon-reportedly-ditches-just-walk-out-grocery-stores-1851381116

@aallan I am shocked by this revelation... Shocked I tell you. /s
