Our Favorite Quarantine Crafting Projects

Our Favorite Quarantine Crafting Projects

DMC is full of talent when it comes to engineering. Just last month, we were recognized as an NI Center of Excellence! Since we've been working from home, we've had a chance to see what other skills our colleagues have.

After sharing our favorite home cooking projects, the talented folks of DMC are sharing our crafting skills. 

Woodworking at Home

When presented with needing workstations at home, some team members didn't think buying a premade desk would be suitable. These talented DMC woodworkers have been thrilling us with updates on their various sawdusty projects over the last few months. From engineer-approved desks to artisanal skateboards, the extra time at home has given people the time to craft amazing and functional works of art.

Finding Green Thumbs

Spring (and summer) has sprung! More time at home means that gardening can reach new levels this year. Gardens big and small are taking root providing some tasty treats for their owners.
