=== Makeney Morris Coasters and Badges ===
My morris team like shiny things. Engraved perspex coasters look pretty awesome with our logo on, as does plywood.
Current status: getting a friend to re-set the logo artwork for me so it's absolutely perfect. The imprecision in it never mattered before, but the laser cutter's too good.
=== Tenor Recorder case ===
My tenor recorder is nice, but came in a case with a stupid coating which rubs off inside bags, on other recorder cases, on recorders and so forth. It's wrecked enough stuff and I'm sick of it, so I'm going to design and build myself a new one out of 6mm plywood with some internal padding. I'll probably laser cut it, then glue it, screw hinges on etc.
Current status: design

I came for the 3D printer, but fell in love with the laser cutter.

Completed Projects

Tak Set

Cheapass Games worked out a set of rules for the fictional game Tak, from Patrick Rothfuss' Kingkiller Chronicles - that world's version of chess or go. They published the beta rules for free and ran a Kickstarter, but I thought why not make my own set.

The board is laser-engraved, the pieces are all laser cut, and I'll probably keep coming back to this one with different piece shapes etc.

Current status: complete. Need to play it for a while and see if I want to make another set or change any parts of this one.

Pipe Dream Projects

Northumbrian smallpipes

Is it possible to make an acceptable chanter on an Ultimaker? Can I model such a thing?

Me

I'm a computer programmer, I practise Aikido, play the recorder, viola da gamba and fiddle, sing, dance the morris (Cotswold style), cook and read a lot of books.
