A few days ago I got the error on the link to the NYT Mini Crossword results. I think I eventually posted it the following day.

GN4L Pangram words fourteen and fifteen...after the third or fourth spin...sheesh.

Note: I keep getting error "failed to load blob" when posting results withe the nyt link. Adding a screenshot "fixes" it? Weird.

GN4L Pangram words one, two, four, and fifteen. Fairly quick. Compounds galore. The Y6 was my last.

Thanks! I have a standard word I use on R2 if the first word draws all blanks.

Knurling should have been a valid pangram. It was missing/not allowed.

Oh, I've been stocking up on leather stamping tools used to decorate leather. I needed some way to store them so I made a tool roll. Should have some room for growth. Now to learn how to use the tools. (Sigh)

So, most recently threw together a phone carrier. Fits my Samsung S10+, which is the exact same size as my wife's latest iPhone.

Wearing on my belt for now, but now need tonorder parts for making straps. Looking for cotton or nylon for this one.
