Another TAS project WIP, this time based on a design by @ncc-60205.bsky.social (who probably thinks I'd forgotten all about it!)

@blackmagiccraft.bsky.social I asked if you have access to a laser on your Paint rack video. I'm not sure if this would be of interest to you, but Ive been working on a storage system vaguely inspired by gridfinity but for laser cutters (which ends up being more time efficient).

Tonight I started making a modification to Chris Borge's ball vise. Before, I had M8 threads in the little platforms next to the feet, but I found that with my gooseneck accessories that had power cords (lights, fans, etc), the cords would get all twisty and swapping them out ended up being a pain.

I made some 3d-printable Toolmaker & Parallel Clamps. Toys for real machinists, sure, but I've already gotten great mileage out of them when doing small glue-ups of laser cuts.

as much as I love the popover API and anchor positioning - there's one major use-case that I can't figure out how to do elegantly: Right-click Context Menus.

it has been 0 days since I had to explain to someone how a Theory in the scientific sense does not mean the same thing as Theory in the colloquial sense.
