Any musicians, artists, creative, talented people here?

Irace- you built that elaborate cabinet solely for the purpose of concealing cat dookie? Nice cabinet and it could easily be re-purposed with a solid top added, maybe a piece of beveled marble.
I think I posted the automatic litter box I am using. I simply change the bag once a week and knock off anything that evades the automatic cleaning cycle. Well worth $500 US if you can swing it.

My thing these day is older LP's which I clean using a vacuum record cleaning machine with various solutions and also a warm ultrasonic bath in a micro-filtered solution. I also will re-stick the jackets that are unglued and put everything sealed in cellophane. I also have a device to flatten warps although it is time consuming so only for stuff I really want to restore. Next person gets them packaged like sanitized sports cards.
I have not fabricated anything really since my pinball machine restoration hobby which i mostly divested myself from in 2012 when I bought the FR-S and modified it. Those suckers were close to 300 lbs each, and 24 of them made their way into my finished basement. This was my foray into PCBs and electronics. Also lots of electromechanical as well as restoring artwork and applying automotive clearcoat which requires sending components to specialists and waiting a year for them to do their work and cure it. I was sending parts all over the place and attending the events that brought the parts and knowledge to support the hobby. Silly expensive toys but amazing learning experience. Did some interesting fill ins of painted artwork with brush and acrylic paint that defies detection. I should post a pic of the ground up restoration I hung on to, everything is new but the cabinet and electronics.

Goat grass.

When we moved in our lawns were more weed than lawn. It's going to take me years and $$ to get it healthy.

Problem is they eat the good stuff too.

I did make some pots on the wheel back in 1977. My mom says there is a large box of them up in her attic I "have to take" next time I'm in San Jose. Oh boy!

You missed the point about the goats. Let them eat everything. All they need is a dog house in the winter and a bucket of water in the corner of the yard. Put them on a leash that will confine them to your yard.

If you are so inclined, you could get female goats and milk them -

As far as those pots you made, you are sitting on a gold mine. Take them and advertise them on e-bay as "antique" "original" "only one made". They will sell like hot cakes -

That reminds me, I used to make cheese. That's artistic. I might take it back up since I have ready access to raw goat and cow milk here in Caldwell. Raw milk was impossible to find in San Jose.

Let me know if you do buffalo mozzarella. I've been getting into pizza making.

Isn't ALL the milk in Idaho raw milk?

I guess it all is at one point.

I've made fresh mozz. It's easy and one of the first cheeses people usually make. Now buffalo milk might be hard to come by.

I've tried mozz twice with pretty lackluster results, but only had access to typical grocery store pasteurized milk. Is that why?

Store milk is usually also homogenized.

With any cheese making- the less processed the milk, the easier to make, and better the end result.
