Hey, Ask Lemmy, we all know that people love to talk about themselves, and I’d love to hear about some of your pleasant experiences. So, please, no matter how big; no matter how small, tell me something that you are proud to have made :)

    What a lovely question! I’m excited to see what other people answer <3

    This week I made one of the best loafs of blueberry lemon bread that I’ve ever made. It was super tasty!

    I made my son a Star wars landspeeder bed, and literally the only ‘design’ I had was a small hot wheels version that I used to base things off of. Put it together myself with construction grade wood from the hardware store, and a router I bought off marketplace, total cost in materials was under $300. I don’t really have any experience with wood working, although I assisted my dad with building houses and finishing basements with my dad.

    The front is a functioning storage area with a pneumatic lid.

    I was pretty happy with how it turned out.

    An ungodly mess of cables, planks, threaded rod, and old, used servers! My very own Proxmox Cluster! I have spent years tweaking and changing it, but I’ve had some services up (not, like, continuously) for 13 years now. The original server was an i7-950, and now I’m on dual Xeon Silver on my newest box.

    I’m currently building a round shield. I have absolute no experience doing this and little to no woodworking experience so I know it won’t be the best or even good. But I’m proud non the less.

        It will be decorated as close to historical findings as I can manage. I reenact vikingage so it will mainly be used for that.

    (almost) forged my own knife ! Of course there was an actual craftsman overseeing the process, explaining and showing everything, and handling the actually hard parts (making the piece of steel perfectly flat after we forged it, and making the actual edge of the knife after we pre-shaped it) but there were still a lot of steps where I could have fucked it up and I’m happy with the result ! That thing cuts better than my 350€ folding knife (the catch is that it’s regular steel, not stainless)

    I managed to write an almost 50,000 word fanfic once. That was cool. Also got nice comments on it. Also cool.

    Way more recently I like the dehydrated apple slices.
