We have some important news to share about HackSpace: Issue 81 was the last issue of HackSpace as a standalone magazine, and HackSpace has become part of The MagPi, the official Raspberry Pi magazine. Starting with issue 145, We’ll be adding pages to The MagPi to make room for the stories and tutorials you’ve come to expect from HackSpace.
If you have a small piece of wood leftover from a project, you could turn it into a pair of striking earrings with a little gold paint.
illustrisWorkshop has created this design based on the Japanese art form Kintsugi. They etched the grooves using a laser cutter and then filled it with a mix of epoxy glue and metallic paint. Alternatively you could make use of any natural imperfections in scrap wood.
