After burning my hands, for the last time, while cooking over the fire or with my cast iron I went on a search for a pair of gloves that fit tightly while protecting my hands! I liked them so much that I ended up purchasing a second set to use at home!

Where to Get STLs

Have your own 3D printer, a friend with one, or even your local library? You are in luck! I am making the STLs for these available via Printables and Thingaverse so that anyone can print these out on their own.

I travel with two of these for powering the Car Freezer and Refrigerator with both of them hooked up to one. I have determined that both can run for approximately 28 hours which allows me to switch the batteries out each evening and taking the there other one into the hotel to recharge! The battery is much lighter than the freezer/fridge and this allows them to be on even when the van is off (which would be an issue if I was using the van's power). I purchased these on Amazon.

Lithium batteries require a battery charger specifically designed for them so make sure you pick one up! I actually have two just in case something were to go wrong with one of them. After working with computers for most of my life I always have a backup plan!

The are designed to be hung in a window or in front of any other light source!

A photos of your choice can be put onto these and with the provided light source the detail will shine through!

Prefect gift for any holiday!

I can 3D print one, using the photos you provide, for $10. The PLA filament I use, for these, is 100% US sourced and therefore supporting US farmers and manufacturers!

A 3D print that helped solve a problem. As a member of the Royalton Education Foundation I found that selling these tickets, at Scottie's Log Bar, proved to be challenging when we had them all stacked on a serving tray. All it took was for someone to bump you and the stacks would slide around or worse spill on the floor. Each slot holds ten tickets (we typically sell in groups of ten) and there are 27 slots (270 cards in total). I used SelfCad to emboss the REF logo and name onto two sides of the tray.

Makes the job of selling these tickets a whole lot easier!

The are designed to be set on top of your desk top, dresser, or any other flat surface!

Three photos can your choice can be put onto these and with the provided light source the detail will shine through!

Prefect gift for any holiday!

Apparently these were quite popular in the 1800s although back then they were made from porcelain. These days they can be 3D printed and the image can be created from any photo!

What does 3D printing have to do with Gardening, well the PLA plastic that is used is derived from plant starches, typically corn!

I can 3D print one, using the photo you provide, for $20. The PLA filament I use, for these, is 100% US sourced and therefore supporting US farmers and manufacturers!

Did you know you can make plastic using ingredients found in your own kitchen?

This is a type of PLA (polylactic acid) plastic and while it won't be as tolerant, to water, as what is commercially available it is fully biodegradable!

What you will need (small batch)

Or go all in with a large batch!

Coffee cake is a family tradition dating back several generations, an in the area of MN I live in this is a holiday staple for many families! I started with a recipe passed down from my Great Grandmother!

Photos of comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) was visible tonight, and it is considered the brightest comet in 27 years, since Hale-Bopp in 1997.
