Herb Stripper
I really enjoy growing and saving herbs for the winter and this week I sun-dried a bunch. While stripping the herbs from their stems with my fingers, as I have always done, I thought – there must be a better way. And, sure enough, herb strippers are a thing. But rather than buy one I…

Lid Stack Hanger
A simple design but so effective at getting those pot lids organized.

BevvyShade3
I feel like this is one of my least appreciated designs but one of my personal favourites. Mostly because it is really fun and then also because it actually works. I don’t do the sun myself but I do like being outside and sitting on our patio enjoying a cold drink in the summer. And,…

Step Fountain for Bob
I saw something like this in a dog video some time ago and thought what a great project to try to remake for 3D printing. It was a little ambitious for me but in the end, it works super well. One of my dogs (Bob) just loves it. Albeit I can’t turn my back on…

BevvyShade Drink Shade
I was sitting on my patio the other day, drinking a warm beer in the sun and thought, I need a drink shade. Here it is…

Beer Tap Tower
One of my hobbies during COVID-19 was making beer (and cider) which turned out to be a great hobby! And, I decided I needed to have it all on tap in my backyard. So I designed and printed a kegerator! Ok, not a whole kegerator but a tap head! ok, not an entire tap head…
