An alter ego. Nightmare fuel chemist stealing electricity from the alternator of the world. AuDHD, 🇺🇲/🇧🇪, music, machining, lapidary, cats. Pronouns: first and second person ones, darling.

A steel plate on a workbench. Four 19mm holes have been drilled in it in a grid pattern, and two cuts have been made vertically to the left of and between the holes. There are also some pencil markings indicating other cuts. The bottom left hole has an M16 nut sitting on top of it. A blue joiner's clamp holds the plate to the tabletop.
A magnetic welding square in a Ziploc bag, the outside of which is covered in steel chips
The completed top of the laser cutter frame, relocated to its actual home in the shop, as opposed to the kitchen.
An old beat-up pair of trainers. The left one has lost its sole entirely and the right one is on the way there.
A 3m by 1.9m rectangle made of 50mm square steel tubes, lying on a red cement floor. There are some chairs and a kitchen table covered in tools in the background, and the base of a pallet is to the right of the rectangle.
The same plate, now sanded clean of mill scale
The mill scale has been reduced to one really stubborn patch on the right side of the upper face.
A 200x120x15mm steel plate with about half the mill scale sanded off of it.
Pixel in the sky bed, with all four peets showing
Ten little brass tubes that have been hand shaped to the same height, sitting on a wooden table
Pixel the tabbico is in the sky bed, Malysh the standard issue cat is on the fourth platform, and Slavik the void is in the window bed
A stack of fifteen angle bracket blanks with drilling-guide stickers pasted to them, and another stack of five bracket blanks remaining to be stickered. In the foreground are a pair of stickers ready to be applied, and in the background is the little pink thermal printer that made the stickers.
Four angle brackets cut from 60x60x4mm steel tube, drilled with two M8 holes on each flange, sitting on a workbench in front of some laser cutter parts wrapped in a red blanket
A cardboard box of six M16 adjustable machine feet, with yr narrator's right hand holding one of them for scale
Same cat, same window bed, later in the day. His back legs and tail are dangling into empty space.
Slavik, a short-haired void cat, relaxes in a hammock-style bed attached to the window with four huge suction cups. He's silhouetted against the sunlight and the white bricks of the alley outside.
A cross-slide bolted to a 120mm aluminum square tube, sitting on top of a small water-cooled table saw. There's a machine vise fixed to the slide, with a rough tiger's eye clamped between a pair of plastic sacrificial vise jaws.
Malysh has taken over the sky bed and is resting her chin on the edge
Pixel is draped over the edge of the sky bed like she wants to climb down the platform ladder, but Malysh is in the way
Five roughly 50mm-wide slices of 60mm square tube, lined up against the stock they were cut from, which is clamped to a wooden table
Malysh, a great big standard issue cat, leans into some chin scritches
A 3m by 1.6m rectangle of 50mm square tube steel, clamped square with red aluminum corner clamps, on a brick and cement kitchen floor
An OpenSCAD rendering of a 3m long, 1.6m wide, 50cm high frame made out of 50mm square tube, bolted together with gussets, angle brackets, fishplates, and M8 fasteners.
an OpenSCAD rendering of a holder for 6-inch lap wheels. It's beefy, with six mounting holes on the rear plate, and it's basically just a shelf bracket where the horizontal part of the shelf has nine slits in it to store lap wheels upright.
Extreme closeup of Pixel, a floofy tabbico cat, licking malt paste so vigorously off yr narrator's finger that she's licking her own nose
A honeycomb storage wall consisting of 13 panels, 11 of them mounted to an orange wall and two of them mounted at a right angle to a white bookcase. 5 of them have tools attached to them and 8 are empty. There's also a gap in the middle row of the second column where a drill is hanging down.
A big wide swing-open window with wire mesh stapled to it. There's a disused curtain rod to keep it from blowing closed, and some cat furniture on the wall.
It looks like a long, slightly ribbed aluminum bar. It's actually a giant honeycomb structure, but it's compressed.
An OpenSCAD rendering of two thicc sacrificial machine vise jaws
A blue Club-Mate cap next to ten small lengths of brass tube with a 7mm OD and 5mm ID. They're on the edge of a wooden table.
Slavik, a sleek black cat with golden eyes, drapes himself over a Bug-A-Salt pump-action flyswatter
Two enormous side rails for a laser cutter are leaned up against a red chalkboard wall.
A brown tabby cat and a long-haired tabbico cat are stretched out under a metal deck table and chair, butt to butt. Pixel, the tabbico, is on her belly. Malysh, the tabby, is mostly on her right side, but her hindquarters are twisted so that her rear paws are in the air.
A tile saw covered in stone swarf, with assorted tools scattered all over it. It has a fence to the left of the blade and there's a Proxxon cross-slide bolted to the fence. A three-jaw chuck is mounted on the cross-slide.
The rearranged workshop, ft. New Bench
Malysh, a standard issue cat with gold eyes, has inserted herself neatly into a paper takeout bag. She's reaching forward to paw at the camera.
A pair of jump ring pliers. One jaw is a smooth, long cone, and the other jaw is a concave half-round that the cone nests into when the jaws are closed
A little origami squirrel, folded from copper sheet. Coke can for scale.
5mm brass strip clamped in a set of 3d printed jaws on a well-used bench vise
The inside of an L-profile made from 5mm brass. The bend wanders a little bit, so the flange is shorter at the left side on the top and longer on the bottom.
A rack of extremely tiny drill bits, ordered from smallest to largest. The rightmost one is 2mm and the leftmost one is barely even visible.
The same tiger's eye, resting in a left palm in front of a white brick wall. It's on one of its cabbed faces, so the other two are visible -- you're looking at a rounded edge.
The same dopped tiger's eye from the last few skeets, now sitting on its flat face in a jar of acetone
A highly polished tiger's eye being rotated under a bright light
A 3mm strip of brass, bent into an L-profile.
Same tiger's eye from the previous post, pre-polished at 3000 grit
A rough tiger's eye being held in a left hand
Pixel, a floofy tabbico cat, drapes herself over the edge of the sky bed with her forelegs dangling into empty space.
Press release from James Talarico's campaign. The letterhead reads "Talarico for Texas" and it's dated Wednesday, March 18. The title is "Official Statement from James Talarico on Vegan Accusations" and it consists entirely of a photo of Talarico, a white man with brown hair wearing a Texas flag button-down shirt with the sleeves rolled up, standing at a wooden table at the Texas state fair, going to town on a hickory smoked turkey leg.
A floofy tabbico sprawls across a padded cat bed close to a barrel ceiling. Her chin and one forepaw are tucked over the right side of the bed and one of her hind legs sticks out over the left edge.
Slavik (void) is snoozing in the cat bed at the top of the small cat tree, Malysh (tabby) is on one of the climbing platforms with her tail hanging down, and Pixel (tabbico) is just barely visible in the loft bed near the ceiling.
A floofy tabbico sits regally in a padded cat bed just below a barrel ceiling and just above an open, screened-in window. To the right is a platform, carpeted in the same shag material as the bed, that constitutes part of how she got up there and will later get back down.
A floofy tabbico is stretched out asleep in a padded cat bed about half a meter below a barrel ceiling. Her rear paws and her tail dangle off the edge.
An open can of Claudemeal in Shrimp and Idris flavor
Slavik the Bold, void extraordinaire, tests the edge of the newly installed lofted cat bed
