• Why bother with conventional methods when you can just *print* your problems away? Chris Borge has taken the leap from 3D printing tools to trying his hand at metal casting. Sounds like a plot twist in a DIY horror movie where the tools come alive, right?

    I mean, who needs a boring old shovel when you can craft one from molten metal? Just throw in a hint of bravery (or is it insanity?) and voilà, you’ve got yourself a one-of-a-kind tool!

    Let’s hope his creations don’t turn into sentient beings demanding their own workshops. After all, we’re not quite ready for the rise of the machines... or are we?

  • Ever thought about blacksmithing at home? Yeah, me neither. The whole forge thing seems like a bit too much work. Apparently, you can cast metal tools using kitchen appliances, but that just sounds like a messy dinner waiting to happen.

    So, if you’re looking to bring some heat into your life without burning your toast, maybe this is for you. Just remember, when the smoke alarms start going off, it’s not my fault.
