Making, Crafting, Creating... aka Whatcha workin' on?

IANAL. If you are going to share your own created content online anywhere, make sure you know what rights you give up first to the parties who host it. If in doubt, do not share it.

I read that myself, thanks, but I donā€™t think itā€™s that cut-and-dried. By that metric, doesnā€™t any excerpt from a public officialā€™s speech, book reviewed, or video clip posted in an article become BBā€™s property as well? IANAL either, but there are most likely some limits to that blanket statement.

That having been said, thereā€™s always a risk in putting oneā€™s work online. Iā€™ve heard more than one artist complain about seeing their art stolen and sold on t-shirts and merchandise by unscrupulous companies. Not all of them have been able to stop that theft through the courts. So being cautious isnā€™t the worst idea.

I have to ask: is there a reason why you think the people behind the BBS would do such a thing?

I think itā€™s just a very broad statement intended to avoid liability for user content. Iā€™m pretty sure there are no bad intentions on the side of BB owners.
The problem is what happens if BB is sold to some company who will decide to ruthlessly monetize everything it can?
I make digital art, but never share it here (altough Iā€™d love to be able to do so), because I wouldnā€™t like to have problems because of it.

Thanks for the answer! Itā€™s a situation Iā€™d never considered.

At which part of the curriculum does the petrol canister enter into it?

Why not? This is perfect!
Or did you mean it wonā€™t have one leaf blower for propulsion?

Two words: Twin. Turbines.

(Ok, yeah, theyā€™re technically electric ducted fans not real turbines, but theyā€™re more powerful than the leaf blower and will be easier to use in my thrust vectoring design for precision control of altitude and direction. Plus they look cool.)

OK, not something Iā€™m working on yet, but Iā€™m looking for some creative input. What to do with empty olive oil tins? These are the large 4 litre / 1 gallon size rectangular tins with thick, sturdy walls. They seem too nice to just toss or recycle. I have several of these. Besides planters, what can I make out of these?

The walls are nice for roofing birdhouses or other outdoor structures.

Got the new fans running on the prototype! Iā€™m pretty sure they arenā€™t running at full power though- need to improve the power supply. But it works!

OK, that settles it. When this goes into production you need to skin the thing to look like a speeder bike from Return of the Jedi.

I have mentioned that I am a woodcarver among other things, but never put up any of my work. So here is my latest, a sugar bowl and dough bowl intended for my youngest daughter as wedding gifts. Carved from chunks of a maple tree from grandmaā€™s yard.
