I made this dock-ish thing so I could use my Switch lite in tabletop mode complete with hub for wired controllers and charging.
The claw type mount also let's me Tate the switch for pinball and shooting games.
No real reason I did it other than having all the stuff and nothing else to do with it.

I’m glad this isn’t about the guy with the my little pony in a jizz jar on 4chan

I don't have it anymore, and I never took a photo, but, I made a "cabinet" for all of my piles of original Gameboy cartridges out of potato chip boxes when I was a teenager. That thin cardboard was flimsy as hell, couldn't bear their weight, and soon broke (I should have used corrugated instead), and I went back to keeping them in a normal box.

Been trying to make a flute from an animal bone (lamb thigh) , managed already to break two, too much force/or the drill is too powerful, will try a manual one next.

Why would you ever stop?

Have you tried starting the holes with a smaller bit then stepping up to larger ones?

Yeah, I need to try something like that. It's kind of weird how I'm rather good with modelling, small scale stuff in general but when it comes to bigger things, woodwork etc. I botch things a lot.

Anything fiddly like that requires the slowest approach possible but who's rushing to make a flute from animal bone anyway right?

Yeah, and the fuckups are more to do with the fact that I'm not familiar with the material.

Have the bones been cooked?
Bones that have been cooked are weaker and more brittle than ones that have naturally been stripped.

You really know your way around a bone

Are you using standard metal bits? If so don't use those get a bit that is for drilling glass / masonary. You will need to get a spray bottle and keep it wet while drilling. Use the drill at the slowest speed, also I would just bump the trigger when drilling don't try it with constant speed.

Yeah even if it takes 2-4 different bits.

I really want one of those native American flutes.
