In this video I walk through my full f-stop printing workflow—from the very first ½-stop test strip, to refining exposure in ⅛-stop steps, and finally shaping the image with dodging and burning in stops instead of seconds.
I completely rebuilt the back wall of my workbench — and the result is a fully custom pegboard system packed with storage for electronics, tools, and all my photography + videography gear.

Take imaginative play to the next level 🚀! In this project, I built my 4-year-old a homemade Apollo-inspired rocket control panel using laser-cut acrylic, UV printing, and an Arduino. Complete with flashing lights, toggle switches, and authentic Apollo sound effects, this prototype turned a simple play tent into a full space mission.
