Hopefully I’m not breaking any guidelines on self-promotion, but I bet some of y’all have made some really cool things.

Whether it’s physical, art, a website, or software – what is something that you’re really proud of creating?

Please remove if this violates any guidelines (I couldn’t find anything specific).

    I help run a small computer museum. Among other things, I do all the photography. Last year I published a book of black & white abstract images of the insides of machines in our collection - details you don’t normally see.

    I made these coasters a few years ago – coasters with coins glued to the top and sealed in epoxy. It was surprisingly easy and they’re still holding up. (Gift idea: coins have years on them.)

    I don’t know if it counts as cool, but I’m definitely proud! I had a large round footrest-type piece of furniture that was made of cheap leather, which was just completely disintegrating. After months of covering it with a blanket, I finally made a little crochet cover for it!

    1. I made a “cave” under the basement stairs. I completely closed in the normal opening that people make into a closet. Then I cut a hole in the drywall that goes under the stairs. Finally, I installed a whole-wall cabinet, except that ONE of the doors actually opens to the hole, Narnia-style. Kids love it. And me…

    2. in office, used more cabinets to make computer station for my and wife’s PC. Single piece counter all the way. l installed PC towers in 12" cabinets. Ventilation you say? I cut holes in the wall, install 140mm noctuas, and tie then to PC. So when PC turns on, whole cabinet exhausts to basement stairwell behind wall.
