The Physical Object Collection

AKA: Art, Projects, Art Projects, My Hobbies, Stuff I Made, &c.

In my spare time, I like to make stuff. After I make stuff, I try to write about it, so that other people who are trying to make something similar might find my page through a web search, and learn from my experience. Over 100 of these projects are documented here. Some are quick and easy, and some took me months of work. Some of them are best described as "art", while some are simply practical. I get email about projects all the time, and enjoy hearing about similar stuff you may have made. Any of these pages are open information, and can be freely linked to, though I'd like to retain control over them so please don't copy them to your own site.

If you would like to be notified when I make changes to this part of my website, please visit or subscribe to my blog, "Nothing In It". I usually post announcements there when I add or change pages here.

Select (click on) an icon (little picture) to view (look at, maybe read) more detail (another webpage) regarding (about) that project (it).
