Things. And also, stuff.
In all seriousness, I make all kinds of things. Brackets and idler pullies to install a supercharger in my mid-90s Saturn. Valve brackets for my beer brewing rig. A replacement part for a very expensive pen (<-- shameless plug for my YT channel).
I'm currently building a 3D printer, and I'm using some of the larger mics to make sure the frame is parallel and perpendicular where it needs to be. I've also designed and machined my own custom hotend.
Sometimes it feels like I'm mostly using my machines to make parts to modify/improve each other. But it's still a lot of fun.
