2024 New Year’s Resolution

Last Updated on 6 January 2025

This year I named my new years resolution – “Create-52”. What’s it mean? Well – I want to build and nurture my habit of making, so I’m setting a goal to make and document something new every week.

It could be woodworking, music, code, painting, electronics — really anything, as long as it involves creative output that results in a finished item. Not everything I make is going to be a winner, but iteration and practice build skill, and that is the underlying motivation.

Wish me luck!

Update from 2025 – Perhaps this was too lofty of a resolution.

I aim to document all of the things made, and will tag them with #Create-52. If everything is set up right, you should see them all here:
