Everything on the go-list
Projects
A catchall for whatever I'm working on — the house, the network, things made by hand, and the occasional work side-project. Tagged so you can tell them apart at a glance.
Ran proper ethernet from the garage router to the rest of the house — through walls, under a doorframe, and one memorably stubborn stud. Everything that used to drop Wi-Fi now just works.
A small NAS that quietly serves movies and shows to the TV. Endless small tuning — storage, backups, making sure it survives a reboot without any babysitting.
Batting's in, half the drywall's up. Paused for a weekend that isn't 95°F in an uninsulated garage. Will resume out of necessity, probably in October.
Took a dated painted-brick surround from "builder beige" to something that doesn't fight with the rest of the room. Three coats, a lot of painter's tape, no regrets.
Next on the list — a proper shed so the garage can go back to being a garage. Still at the "measuring the corner of the yard" stage.
A hand-tooled leather scale armor build, referenced off period lamellar photos and stubbornness. Every scale is cut, shaped, and riveted individually — which is exactly as slow as it sounds.
A historically-grounded fantasy ranger kit for a late-summer faire — built piece by piece rather than bought as a set, so every strap and buckle actually has a reason to be there.
A traditional longbow, tillered by hand from a single stave. Built for the faire range first, deer season second — assuming it survives both.
A small script that turned into an actual internal tool because enough people kept asking for it. Now it quietly has users, which means it also quietly has bugs.
