I nominate the sharpie pen holder. This was originally designed by @krkeegan. I spoke with him and he approved it to be shared. I tweaked his design a tiny bit and created it on onshape. I have uploaded the link to the file, all svg files and guide to the garden. Sharpie Pen Holder by krkeegan

Folks, with a busy holiday weekend, then back to work, I won’t be able to post a poll until this evening. It will be a quick turnaround to allow bar and hannah to feature the results in the newsletter. So watch this space!

@bar, when roughly do you need the polls closed to go to press?

We’re not in a rush, some time before 5pm west coast time would be awesome, but we can make it work any time.

We can also make it happen if you want to take a week off. The whole community appreciates you spearheading the charge on the project of the week, but it doesn’t need to be a commitment to get it done every single week. If you need a week off let us know and we’ll take care of it!

Nah, I’m good here. Just want to give the community time to vote. Thanks!

The Victorian repository is a bit of a placeholder, it’s not much more than photos now, but I’m planning on making it more useful. Hold off on voting it in until I, or someone else, steps up to the plate and puts in some effort?

I think its an awesome idea as is, but I vote that something should be eligible again when there are big changes or updates to it

I think that it should only be projects that are done within that week. This way people have a chance to win on a week to week basis, and it motivates people to keep building and posting.

How about ‘done or updated’? Don’t want to discourage improvements or collaboration…

My strategy has been to rely on community nominations for PotW, which usually works. Since those nominations are generally new projects, that works. I’ve only had one or two weeks where I didn’t get any or enough nominations for a poll, in which case I use a random selector to pick some past nominees for the poll.

For Community Gardener, we often don’t have three new projects added, so I have been doing a random selection. Of all the projects in the garden, about half have never been featured in a poll, so I want the routine to tend to pick those up. I have modified my routine to favor newer projects, including “old” projects that haven’t had a shot at the title.

Polls closed! Using the Maslow as a tool to create more tools was a common theme this week. In the Community Garden, @Sharpsburg_Woodworke and @krkeegan earn the prize for the Sharpie Pen Holder (which is one of the first things we’re going to cut when our kit is built). @Lloydinz wins Project of the Week with his Mini Thickness Planer.
