Soap

Some people are aware that we make all of the soap sold by Threddies, but few are aware of what makes our technique special. We've developed a "super-fatted" recipe which allows us to develop a much more skin friendly product (although we can't say this due to FDA restrictions) which cures in a much faster time period. Every batch of soap requested through Threddies is custom made by us after the order is placed.

I've always been amazed by the things you can do with members of the fungi kingdom. I'm even more amazed after reading Paul Stamets' excellent book, Mycelium Running: How Mushrooms Can Help Save the World.
Adventures in e-biking

I've been playing around with building an electric bicycle for awhile now. What I'm describing here is about version 3.6 of the project which was one of the original projects that gave rise to Transmutable Explorations. Currently, the bike is powered by 4 6-Volt Sealed Lead Acid batteries housed in a custom plastic box complete with key switch and plug serving double duty as charge port and distributing power to the bike itself.
