Q1: Hello. Some of us have created some very strange things over the years, what’s the strangest (for you) thing you have ever made? #MakersHour
Q1: Hello. Some of us have created some very strange things over the years, what’s the strangest (for you) thing you have ever made?
A1: I’m not sure to be honest. I don’t think I’ve made anything that’s strange. Maybe I have but I think they are perfectly normal…

@MakersHour A1. Strangest make? Maybe a recent utilitarian patch, bright pink "duck tape" wrapped round the little fin antenna on our otherwise unremarkable electric hatchback sedan, to find it in parking lots among others of its style.
Otherwise most of my creations are theme and variations on needlework, appliqué, piecing, and digital collage.

Myself and @davetansley once spent way too much time printing and painting very tiny human skulls. They were for legitimate dice making purposes, but they were all over the house for a while there, it was pretty weird.
@thegiddystitcher @MakersHour @davetansley these would be an amazing way to cover the soil of pot plants 😂

@MakersHour #MakersHour A1: I'm gonna say that time I learned to draw by sketching one Pokemon a day until I ran out (I think after Sun/Moon, so just over a thousand days).
I started on a whim because I was bored and lonely and had been watching a lot of Bob Ross, and since then I haven't done much drawing because holding a pencil cramps my hand up.
@WizardOfDocs
It is the sort of thing I should do at some point to exercise my drawing hand. -
@Stratski
Excellent!You could do one with the camera in the eye piece, via a semi tranparent mirror.
36 photos of an eyeball!@MakersHour haha, creepy!

@afewbugs @MakersHour That would definitely make it all even weirder, you've got me thinking now...

Sometimes you need that marker in a big carpark, when so many cars can look similar. -
@MakersHour haha, creepy!
@Stratski
And no one would need know until afterwards! 😂 -

A1: this is a difficult one. The first thing that comes to mind was I had to make two clear backpacks that could be taken to a protest a day away. Everything we would need had to be in there, and it had to be clear to be or it would be taken away. Found some marine vinyl that was not too hard to sew and whipped them up in about four hours.
Oh, also a lot of weird props for shows like giant teapots and mushrooms, large cheese slices.

@MakersHour As a teacher, I once was about to do the the magnet-and-iron-dust-on-paper experiment with my class, but discovered too late that we didn't have a magnet! What we did have, though, was a copper coil, some rusty nails, and a battery. I put the nails inside the coil, connected the battery and got the nails *just* magnetised enough to do the experiment and show the magnetic patterns. I made a magnet.

Excellent - a double lesson - what magnets do, and how they are made!

@afewbugs This sounds like the perfect gift idea for my skull-liking, plant-growing housemate; they'd love little skulls for this purpose. We already have all kinds of little random things in the plant pots... :)

@eivind
That is a very good way around it, and shows other electromagnetic principles at the same time.I noticed and photographed this in my workshop a while ago, while I was welding.

A1 oops late to the party this week. Strangest thing I've made ? I'd say some of my first attempts at blacksmithing have resulted in objects that are beat described as strange... Gotta learn somewhere...

@MakersHour Had a short term request to build a easter decoration within an afternoon.
Turned out slightly spooky...

@Jeremiah It might go over better in Spain?

I premi Ig Nobel lasciano gli Stati Uniti. La prossima cerimonia di premiazione si svolgerà a Zurigo. Il fondatore, Marc Abrahams: "Nell'ultimo anno è diventato rischioso visitare il paese per i nostri ospiti. In coscienza non possiamo chiedere ai futuri vincitori o ai giornalisti internazionali che coprono l'evento di viaggiare negli USA quest'anno"

Non ho mai seguito le para olimpiadi fino ad oggi.
Che stupido.

@cwebber Let me make myself clear

@bontchev US has not achieved any definitive lasting victory in any major conflict since WW2:
❎ Gulf war, US goals met but no clear win
❎ Korea war, stalemate
❎ Vietnam, withdrawal of US forces
❎ Afghanistan, inconclusive outcome
❎ Ukraine, US drops them for Israel
❎ Relevant to Iran, US Navy couldn't even defeat the Houthis of Yemen
Now US-Israel try to create #ww3 through #iran with no clear objective/plan to even know when they've won. Their goal is also evidently not regime change.

So freaking predictable...

In Svenska, Jonathan = Johan. It's pronounced like “yo-one”. It’s one of the most common names in Sverige, so I joke, “If you can’t be the Johan you love, love the Johan you’re with.”
I tried that joke 3 times with Johans in Stockholm before accepting that Svenskar don’t have a cultural appreciation of Crosby, Stills & Nash.

@the_moep could you expand on how it would change depending on different definitions?
