I just finished a large 2x4 foot painting that I've now hung over the couch, which I'm pretty excited about. Took me about 20 hours and one complete restart. There's actually a bunch of wood & metal furniture in my home that I've crafted (with various levels of refinement) as well.
What I'm most proud of though is my career and passion with a physical product.
It is a physical product I designed through the trial-and-error process of foam-crafting and learning how to 3D print. While I don't personally make the final product, the titanium crystal glassware for whisky and spirits is hand-blown in Europe by a glass factory that has been operating since the late 1700's. Each product is 100% the result of extremely skilled craftsmen operating in very hot work environments due to the nature of 2700f furnaces. Honestly the glass still boggles my mind every time I use one. If you're interested, the code HACKER will give 10% off the stemware :)
