You all probably need more LED jewelry, because everyone does, so pick up some great pieces from @alpenglow.bsky.social at Maker Faire Bay Area.
We’ll be bringing all of these to Maker Faire Bay Area next weekend! They can be finished as a necklace, fish hook earrings, or lobster claw earrings for hooking onto hoops, your choice. #glowies #alpenglowies #ledjewelry #makerfaire #mfba2025 #makerfairebayarea

My locksport club met up for the second time last night. We
spent the evening trying shims and trying out picks we haven't used before. Looking forward to the next meetup I'm planning for August!
