Single Line Vermeer
So redesigning the site appears to have resulted in a catastrophic crash in sales. Why that would be I have no idea… maybe it’s because people react to “polish” the same way they react to banner-adverts. They just tune it out. I’m not going back to the old design though. The new design looks great. I think. If anyone has any idea what I’m doing wrong, I’m all ears. Anyhoo… time I did a video. The old one is shot with a little point-and click, so is a bit ropey. I’ve got all the gear I need to do it… but I keep getting daunted by the quality of other people’s videos. I’ve made a page of some of them here. I’d really like to make one like this: (via) But it’s a lot harder than it looks. Still… great video. You can see examples of the golden ratio all…
Experimental Calipers Offer…
These have now sold out – if you are interested in me making some more… email me here So I made the touchy-tip calipers… which are specifically for cosmetic surgeons a while back… and have been dithering… they’re not 100% what I had in mind – they are capable of measuring far smaller distances… but as the tips get closer together, the resolution goes a bit wonky. If you’re doing really small stuff, it’s probably best to take a photo and blow it up. Anyhoo… they look like this: Because these are for measuring people’s faces, I’ve made the tips into little blobs, twisted 90%. This makes them a little less scary. Pre-twist, they look like this: Another reason why I’m suffering doubt over this one is that instead of being “2-layers thick”, they’re actually 4… … but they’re still rivited together with a 2-layer rivet. I tried using spacers…
Golden Mean Ratio Radio
Resultat Golden Ratio from linda engstrom on Vimeo Also a coffee maker, and why not? Beautiful. Oh… hang on… I’m not sure that it actually works as a radio at all. It just looks like one… no. It isn’t. No. It’s a coffee-maker. Still beautiful. Confused? Moi?
New Leaves and such
Back in Whanganui. The Wellington Makerspace phase came to a not terribly sudden end, and I’m Back In The New York Groove, as it were. Back to the small town from whence I sprang, where life is slower, and easier. So I redesigned my website. It’s always a bit traumatic is the old website-redesign, because even though the last one was a dog’s-breakfast, it’s entirely possible that people LIKED it being a dog’s-breakfast, and the new one is to polished etc, and nobody buys anything ever again. It’s a worry. I’ve decided to branch out into doing other things as well. Things like this: Which is a little lamp. I’m also going to save up and get my own CNC mill so I can make my own boxes. I’ve stopped selling them until I do… shouldn’t be too far off… couple of months maybe. One of these: Will give me…
Golden Mean Music!
Well that was certainly unexpected :) A Rock Anthem based on the Golden Mean. The Internet is so left-field. I love it.
