Goin to have that music embedded in my head... so fine so simple so elegant.
OK, don't laugh but I just like making crap. Here are things besides the previously posted photography equipment that I have created.
I also like creating stock market timing models. Am in the process of trying to write a book about my best one.

But crafty and useful crap indeed. You've got an inventor's mind ;)

Really talented son you've got there. Looks like there been some classical training there? Great job
Thank you very much
I gave him both of my tailors last year.
Both are custom made with a 1 7/8 neck. I had them made in 1992. The year he was born.
Search " Cody elkins guitar" if you like on YouTube
He has song that's even more difficult.
Didn't have my green screen working at the time
Take care to all

I don't know much about the other crap ( I agree you have a mind like Rube Goldberg--a genius) but I do know putters since I have about 39 of them in my basement and garage. All worked at some point in the past, and can probably work again at some point in the future, but they are very unreliable instruments. Your idea of making a single putter adjustable in some way is a brilliant move, but also doomed to failure. After using them for about 65 years, I have learned the hard way that putters are like women; you must commit to one in order to get the best performance possible. Therefore, in a somewhat elaborate ceremony, a few years ago I married my putter of the moment and have abandoned the others to rust. This move has proved to be wise, since my handicap has gone down to the point where I am just on the brink of shooting my age (75) and I no longer become so furious after missing a short one that I embarrass myself and my playing partners. This move has also required that I accept the inevitable--that both putters and women have minds of their own and cannot be controlled, but that we must just accept their quirks and temporary insanity, smile, and go on with our life enjoying the trip.
No, an adjustable putter is a wonderful idea, but will just lead to a higher level of frustration when facing the decision, perhaps several times a round (or even between putts on the same green) as to how the thing should be adjusted in order to avoid another lousy putt like the last one. That would just add yet another variable to a game already so full of variables that those of us that engage in it are often compared to mad scientists.

Rube Goldberg would have been proud of your "crap!"
I use my photos and create other art with it as seen below.

Aaah, spoken like a true golfer. I quit the game because of putting. I once shot an 89 and had 43 putts.

Wow, creative mind you have there. I chuckled when I scrolled down to your first piece and smiled at the rest. If one man's work evokes emotion in another then one may consider it true art. I like your sense of whimsy.

Thanks for the complement. I've enjoyed your posts and sense of humor.
Great inventions;
I say, imagine and reverse engineer from the idea to the do-able.
Most of my years in industry was problem solving and invention. Nothing major, but constant incremental improvement (yes some back sliding too).
That is what life is all about. right? Don d/p
Very creative stuff, all of you. I once shot a 66 at our local golf course, and by the time I got to the third green, I gave up. Never to play again.
I am a woodcarver. I have 100's of carvings. Indians, cowboys, fishermen, golfers, boots, shoes, woodspirits, etc. It is a very enjoyable pastime for me. I also like doing woodcraft, you know, bird houses, feeders, small furniture, etc. Always something to do.
Emmett, are you all right? You have an ashen face. As tho some one put there hands around your neck and tried to Oak you to death. If you left us we would pine for yew. In case you need help we can send herb to protect you.
Sorry Emmett, could not resist. Sculpting in clay is one thing, you can always rebuild, but carving IS and you can not back out. You do great expressive work. thanks for sharing.
