BLDG 61: Boulder Library Makerspace
Kyoko worked on this piece for over a year, taking it from rough cut wood to this fully realized piece. This amazing feat of woodworking is a testament to how much you can learn if you just keep working at something. We are so excited and proud of all the Makers who work on such long term projects and finish! What an amazing result 😍
#MeetYourMakerMonday (on a Tuesday)
Sondy from Southwest Research Lab made this super cool laser curtain project on our laser cutter that is being sent into zero-g and will someday (fingers crossed) end up on Mars! We totally geek out over space related projects 💥
There`s still time to submit your work to Maker Made 2023! Full participation details are at bldg61.org!
Making is not just for adults. Zachary, Emerson, Kate, William, Asher and Delaine came in to make shirts for Zachary`s 11th birthday party! I imagine with Friends, pizza and Sweet Cow it was a huge success. Happy Birthday Zachary!!!! Come make more cool stuff with us soon. #meetyourmakermonday
Our 3D printers had the incredible honor of printing a small part of this Sea Odder named "Abilene", designed and created by @dhoresh1. Dover handed this in for their thesis project at @cu_atlas this past week, highlighting the plight of keystone species like this otter. Congrats to all the folks graduating from CU Boulder this week, we love all the weird and wonderful stuff we get to see from you all!
