Making Lisa’s Wedding Ring

We did it! We got married April 18th 2015 and I put this beautiful ring I made on Lisa’s finger. Many thanks to my jeweler friend Mark for allowing us to use his foundry and for all the help along the way.

The wedding was absolutely wonderful. Truly the happiest day of my life. We live streamed the ceremony and you can watch it in it’s entirety here: http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/61260027

Hacking A USB Rechargeable Lighter

I found this USB rechargeable lighter in Walmart and immediately thought about using it as a rechargeable battery for small electronic projects! It’s pretty easy to take apart and remove the heating element, install a switch and you have a neat little 3.7 volt LiPo battery pack for about $6.00!
