Hey Patrons! I wanted to let all my new Rockstar-level patrons know that your stickers are on their way in the mail. US addresses go out today, and non-US addresses will go out later this week. If you're expecting stickers and don't receive them, please let me know. Thanks, Rockstars!

Hey Patrons!
Just another quick update on my change from charging twice a month (for blog posts) to once a month. After my last update, a bunch more of you increased your pledges, which was a very pleasant surprise! With support like this, Blondihacks has a real shot at long term success.

I set a goal of doing a live stream Q&...

Hey everyone!
Blondihacks started as a blog in 2009, and so very much has changed. It has gone from a place to muse about my weird little projects around the house, to a growing content endeavor that covers the blog, YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter.
I'm writing to you all now because ...

Hey Patrons! Thanks to all the new support from so many of you, I reached the goal I set to start a new Veronica project. I have a couple of others in the pipeline first, but stay tuned to the blog, because the old girl will be back on these pages soon. Thanks for the renewed interest in my older...

Hey Patrons! Today's YouTube video in my Lathe Skills series is all about indicators, and in that I mention my 3D-printed indicator holders. Here are the models, in case you want to print them yourself, or modify them in Fusion to fit your own equipment!

Hey Patrons- I just posted a four-part video series on repairing an antique mortise lock set. This is only available to the Noble ($5) level and above, so if you're currently a $2 Patron, now is a great time to upgrade! Just click here:

Hey Patrons! I'm excited to announce a new benefit for you. If you're at the $5 level or above, you'll now get access to behind the scenes, unscripted video updates via Patreon's new Lens feature. If you're familiar with Instagram stories, it's a lot like that, except you use the Patreon app. The...

Hello Patrons!
I've added a whole new category of Patron rewards: models and drawings of projects! I often build things in Fusion 360 or Sketchup before building them, and now you'll get access to those files right here.
This is the new $2 Patron level, so if you're already supporting me at ...

Hi Patrons!
I'm considering posting old Patron-only videos to my public YouTube channel to help boost traffic there. However, I don't want my Patrons to feel their investment is undermined. How would you feel about it? I would repost videos older than, say, two months.

Hey Patrons! If you recently became a Rockstar Patron at the $10 level, you may wonder why your name is not in the credits of the most recent video. Hang in there- your name is added immediately, but there’s often a multi-week lead time on the rendering of these videos, so you may have missed the ...
