Howdy y’all! It’s October 1st, so make something month has begun. If you would like to participate, post below with what you are planning to do. There’s really no rules, you’ve just got to make something. Every week after this I’ll post a thread for weekly updates, and then on the last day of the month a final update post. About a week later we will do a showcase thread, just in case people need some time for finishing touches or to take photos.

Anyway, good luck and I am looking forward to seeing what everyone makes!

    Nice idea! I'm planning on doing a few smaller soldering/learning projects with the Kiddo. Nothing fancy or major though.

    I'm going to make a voxel 3d model of… something, first week is partly about picking my subject :)
    I'm not skilled enough for 3d modelling tools like blender, but the more simple Minecraft like system of adding and removing blocks seems doable for someone like me.

    Nice idea.

    Mine is a work project; maybe not fully in the spirit of this thread, but it's something I've wanted to do for a while, and is above & beyond my expected work duties.

    I want to build an online course that has beautiful, consistent styling and interactive HTML5/JavaScript elements (if they work with my course platform; haven't tested yet.)

    I figure that if I'm going to put the timer into course development, I should put in the extra effort to make it look good so students want to engage with it. No boring walls of pain text. I want hidden elements so students can cycle through related topics interactively, pop out boxes for big ideas, embedded CC0 images, and so on.

    Unfortunately, I won't be able to share the final result to not doxx myself (plus, it might be copyright violation), but I'll try to check in to say how it's going.

    Late, but present. I will be making… A Halloween costume. It will be a wearable mask that covers my head and leaves my hands free. It will be open except on the front. I have no idea how I will do it yet, bit plenty of time to figure it out…

    I am hoping to make a baby hat using a knitting loom. Gave up on crochet because I have no coordination so hoping this is an easy first project.

    A little late to my own party because of a business trip, but I think I'm going to work on refining my dairy free caramel skills. I should have photos of a few batches of caramel throughout the month.
