The #library is a truly democratising force in our relentlessly capitalistic society. I've always been a fan, but even *I* didn't appreciate as I should. People play games, connect to the internet, apply for jobs, surrounded by knowledge and the arts. No wonder the fash want to destroy libraries.

Very proud of my son. His HS #library had a pile of #books they were retiring, free for the taking. He grabbed all he could fit in his backpack and then some. Mostly history books on Egypt, Asia, France, some on social issues, and David Macaulay’s Mosque (for me). All to keep, read, and consult.

A patron asked our makerspace to design and CNC mill a replica of the Gemeente-Energiebedrijf sign found all over Amsterdam. They brought us a screenshot of a stock photo and some 6mm thick aluminum to cut it out from. Here's a first rough draft, CAD/CAM in #FreeCAD and milled in a #Snapmaker Artisan. I'm a novice at this stuff, you can probably tell from the results lol, but the next one will (hopefully) be better!

A photo of a shiny metal sign on a faux wood table, taken from directly above. It's vaguely pizza slice shaped, except the part that would be the crust is wider than the rest of the slice. It has a raised outer border, with screw holes at each rounded corner. There are raised letters spelling out "G E B" in the pizza crust area, and below that, the rest of it is taken up by a raised stylized lightning bolt. The very bottom tip seems to be jaggedly broken off.

A photo of a painted metal sign with no background, taken from directly above. It's vaguely pizza slice shaped, except the part that would be the crust is wider than the rest of the slice. It has a grey raised outer border, with rivets at each rounded corner. There are raised orange letters spelling out "G E B" in the pizza crust area, and below that, the rest of it is taken up by a raised stylized orange lightning bolt. The inset area between all the other features is black. All of the paint is very cracked and worn.
