Our pal Datamancer has a new blog up. He’s hoping to keep a regular digital diary of his projects. Given all of the cool stuff he’s always working on, let’s hope he keeps it up. Above are two picks from a hobby furnace he’s building, built around the Lionel’s Lab HobbyMelter kit.
(Jake von Slatt has also been working on a similar furnace, from scratch. You can see his progress so far here and here.)
Gareth Branwyn is a freelancer writer and the former Editorial Director of Maker Media. He is the author or editor of a dozen books on technology, DIY, and geek culture, including the first book about the web (Mosaic Quick Tour) and the Absolute Beginner's Guide to Building Robots. He is currently working on a best-of collection of his writing, called Borg Like Me.

Thanks for the post, Gareth! I definitely think the blog will be an easier way to keep running worklogs of projects. The static html site will still have all the projects listed, but I’ll put the “making-of”s on the blog so they’re all searchable and whatnot.
