Product Prototypes and Periods (Patreon)

You know on April 1st when I said I was building a period machine? Well I wasn't joking. 

A couple of weeks ago, we turned the workshop into a proper (alas very crammed) studio and filmed two projects for Kotex: a period machine and a cramp machine. I'm really proud of how they came out. Combining shitty robots with sex ed may not sound like a great match, but it was.

Can I show you something that you pinky-internet-promise will keep a secret? Since you can't actually answer that question, I'm just going to assume that it's a yes.

First of all: after asking some very trusted advisors (AKA you) I've decided that the name of my product brand is YETCH, or YETCH store. I'm feeling really good about it. It's unique and weird and funny for people who know the backstory, but not overly silly. And I know it sounds a little bit like a cat throwing up a hairball, but also: good for you, cat. You purge that hairball.

Second of all:

Ok I'm just realizing that it'll seem like I'm about to tell you that I'm engaged. I'm not. But I am very much in love with these two ring prototypes that we're working on. It's an (occasionally useful) screwdriver ring, and a companion screw ring. I'm so excited to start selling these. We're still figuring out how to machine the screw ring, so for now I'm just wearing this wonky 3D printed version.

OTHER THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED

- Scraps found a dead cat in the park and immediately sat down to pee on it. She hates cats. I hope that peeing on that carcass was the revenge that she's been seeking, and that now she can start her healing process.

- I posted a new video this morning where I show 7 random house projects that I've built.

- I'm getting an electric bike/cafe racer this week. I AM SO FUCKING STOKED. And before you get worried: it's technically just a bike, I can't ride on freeways with it or anything, but I'm scheduled to get my motorcycle license in July anyway as a precaution.

LOOK AT THAT THING! SCRAPS AND I ARE GOING TO LOOK SO COOL RIDING IT TO THE DOG PARK. At least I hope it'll help win back the coolness points that I lost from this photo:

That's all for now. I hope you're having a good week! And if you're not, I hope you'll find an appropriate item to pee on to get your revenge.

XOXO
