Riley’s workshop
Riley Porter’s “man cave” looks somewhat cramped but extremely well organized, with a place for everything. My favorite detail is the big monitor up on the wall, it looks super handy for displaying info while working on a project.
The latest DIY ideas, techniques and tools for the industrial arts from metal and woodworking to CNC machining and 3D printing.

Now I want to see somebody use all those differently-colored rings to make a chain-mail photomosaic.

It must be fun to have Stephen Hobley as a parent, because he is always coming up with cool things for his kids to play with.
I just love Mark’s awe-inspiring maker lair. The most fun part of the space is how the computer has its monitor on an extending swing-arm so that it can be positioned where it will do the most good- programming microcontrollers over by the electronics bench or swung near the CNC machine that I am working […]
