Other Stuffs- Azaral's Journal - Azaral has started a series of in-depth articles about his hobby of blacksmithing. This is certainly a first for the Other Stuffs section and a great read too. He submitted it as an article originally and I really wish we had some deviant category for it to be published in, but ultimately it was better off in the Journals. Check it out!

This would be the same category you'll eventually have to put other articles about things like 3D printing and homebrewed motion capture rigs that'll be of great benefit to the community but hard to categorize.
