This week on Maker Update: the art of conversation, Halloween contest season, a tombstone with a twist, and a bright idea on pet portraits.

This week on Maker Update, riding in the Lunar New Year, a world of sound, cactus-core, a guide to Noods, DIN rails for your racks, and Cuttle boxes.

This week on Maker Update, a Nintendo made from wood, painting with Skittles, a photochromic clock, a camera that looks into the past with an instant replay, and a cabinet for curing 3D prints.

For this Cool Tools review, I’m going to show you the Manfrotto Magic Arm and Super Clamp. You can pick up this combo for around $154 on Amazon Prime. Not cheap, but I rely on this every single week and it’s been a worthwhile investment. If you happen to pick one up using the link in the description, you help support my videos and the Cool Tools blog.
