  1. Parsimony or cheap old bastard? Whatever one calls it, frugality has always served my budget well. Grandpa Harvey's chair and our family cabin's former dining table were in the family before I was, and are still part of my home's decor. #homedecor #homedecorating #interior #interiors #interiordesign #interiordecoration #interiordecorator #recycle #recycling #recyclingfurniture #upcycle #upcycling #upcyclingfurniture #wood #loveofwood #hardwoodfloor #hardwoodfloors #frugal #frugality

  2. Never square, but always practical!

    Based on the #memefication of a chocolate ad campaign with the #slogan "square, practical, good" (in German "Quadratisch, praktisch, gut.").

  3. #Sewing project to take my mind off the world. Straight from "DIY Olga" on YouTube, I made this crossbody bag for my wife from an old pair of jeans. An old striped button down shirt is the lining. (I still need the "closure" thingy.)

    DIY Olga made it look easy - I'm a beginner, so it took me a lot longer and there are a couple "don't look too closely" spots.

    My wife loves it.

  8. Un apprenti sorcier a renversé une potion millénaire et voilà que le monde est plongé dans la nuit.

    Pour ce carnet j'ai choisi de représenter une magie particulière et accidentelle inspirée de quelques facéties DNDesque.

    C'est un carnet qui a quand-même du mal à trouver ses propriétaires parce que je pense que ça s'éloigne un peu de ce que je fais d'habitude mais je sais qu'avec le temps il saura trouver ses mages maladroit'es pour le sublimer de milles sorts merveilleux portés par les agent'es du chaos.

  9. Alright, it’s been a big job getting the battery (in the boxed on the photo) here from #China, the shed cleared up (most organised it’s been in a decade), the #NissanLeaf happy enough to drive in here and a cunning plan to use the pallet jack with attached platform to lower/raise the battery pack. Gus (very clever) is coming over Wednesday to sense check and we’re going to have a go. #ev #UpCycle

  10. Unique #handmade jewelry made with #SterlingSilver and #upcycle obsolete electronics. Pendants, cufflinks & earrings. If you have an idea or you want to create something #custom please sent me a message to create it together!

  11. So I just spent too long on this. I traced a coster on an old record and (painstakingly) cut it out with pliers. I then sanded it.

    Be honest... how'd it look?

    It's kinda giving slate coster vibes? ?

  13. Making some earrings. I'm getting some actual jewelry pliers tomorrow so it should be a lot easier to make them.

    I keep buying bags of "broken jewellery" from charity shops and I've decided to make a bunch of earrings from them.

    Most of the stuff in them were from old bracelets or necklaces. Some are definitely too thick to be made into earrings so I may make some bead necklaces. Ig kinda #upcycling

  14. I'm putting my upcycled/ reworked jeans on Depop.

    I only have one on there atm but there is more to come. All the jeans I get from charity/ thrift stores. I work at a charity shop and get lots of jean scraps from jeans we can't sell.

    Tryna finish more jeans and really get into sewing.

  15. Well, I've done some more tacky tacking, and like repeatedly patching some shonky code, it may do. It certainly looks overtly 'mended' which may be good for festival boogieing shorts, but they'd better not be my only pair! #repair #upcycle #mend

  16. Me: OOh yes ! A video about how to use up fabric scraps

    YouTubers: So I've had these mismatched 2 yards of fabric in my scraps bin for years ...

    Me: :: Eyes the postage stamp and small envelope sized pieces of fabric in my scraps stash ::

    LADY WORDS HAVE MEANINGS! YARDS* ARE NOT SCRAPS !

    [* No - a 'few meters' are also not 'Scraps' FFS!]

  17. I broke down my old Rostock MAX 3D printer. I saved the frame rails, belts, and stepper motors, among other parts. I upgraded my Prusa MK3 to MK4S. I saved the linear rails, bearings, belts, and stepper motors, among other parts. I've always wanted to make a camera motion platform, and now I have a lot of rails, belts, bearings, and stepper motors...

    The MK3 controller board is only an ATmega, but it has the nice Trinamic stepper drivers.

  22. at a cabin in the woods for a writing retreat; it's made from reclaimed wood - look at the little door up on the high wall that separates this room from the kitchen

    This shows how many superfluous things people consider important and how well we are persuaded to own certain things.

    Now, we mainly pass on rubbish to our children because the durability of everything has become so poor. In return, we have spent our lives acquiring much more and creating huge amounts of (problem) waste. Appreciation would help on so many levels...

  24. I wanna make these so much. I have so many old boards and don't want them to be landfilled (which they likely would, look up ewaste). I have epoxy and files so it should be easy for me to do 🤔

  25. Collected a bunch of can pulls and wanted to make something out of them. This is an idea I had.

  26. I always find air matresses break so easily... they always seem to leak and never last Dx

    I tried to make a jacket thinking it would work similar to a hard sythetic leather material. I was kinda wrong, it's kinda just stiff. Pics tommorow.

    The material can be sewed rather easily and can be superglued very effectively. You could totally make an old one into a picnic blanket!! Maybe tarp?

  27. For two pieces I'm working on two lampshades will be cut out a metal roof panel laying around here. One shade will be sanded to get a 'brushed' like finish. It won't be as uniform as factory 'brushed' so to pull it all together a clear coat will finish it of. The other shade will be white paint.
