I've been training & building a MIDI generating LLM that runs 100% in the browser. Here's the first interface to the model ( works best on desktop) you can enter notes and it'll autocomplete based on them, or spam generate for some midi AI slop: www.bigbuttonstudio.com/web-toys/mid...

Two eyeballs made from 3D printed parts and UV cured resin. One is laying on a bamboo tabletop, the other is being held in the center of an open hand.

I’ve just been getting really into making eyeballs recently.

A person taking a selfie in an oddly shaped wobbly mirror. They are riding an oversized hobby horse and have a horse head emoji edited over  their own head.

A miniature hobby being held in front of a minature version of a hitching post with miniature versions of the "Rustlr Ride Share" signs hanging on it. The scale is about 40% of the original size.

4 diagonal rows of overlapping hobby horse heads placed on the floor.

3 hanging signs made from laser cut wood advertising a hobby hore rental service. The top sign says "Rustlr Ride Share", the 2nd sign gives instructions on how to choose, ride, and hitch a hobby horse, and the final sign is a blackboard inviting people to write down events they might want to run.

A number of hobby horses leaning up against a wall. One hobby horse is more angular and covered in tinfoil, designed to look like a cybertruck, it has "Fuck OFF ELON" written on the side of it.

I led a team of friends making 100 hobby horses for a very silly event. I will take no further questions at this time.

3. Look at other peoples design and try making your own patterns inspired by them, it'll teach you a bunch about how to construct stuff.

2. Buy or reuse nice hardware if you can - The cost of the time to hand make something usually far outweighs the cost of nice hardware, and nice hardware adds a lot to the feel of a piece.

Aw, thanks! I'm certainly not an expert, but here are a few thoughts:

1. Learn how to finish edges well (beveling, dyeing, and burnishing) - You can often tell nicely vs quickly made stuff by how well finished the edges are.

Not done any #leatherwork in a minute, but pretty pleased with how this festival belt is turning out.
