    Some projects I plan to use further for my own use/others or to improve them in an unknown future in a parallel space/time . Other projects get re-purposed/recycled/re-done When I made them just to learn…

    A projects is never "finished", it can always be improved, it is a work in progress... Sometimes some projects become boring, and can sit for a long time before getting improved...

    I do a lot of projects so there are multiple destinations.

    Most of my projects are aimed at things I might find useful, or educating myself on the technology but some are just for fun.

    Some are for family members.

    Some are tackled just for the shear challenge of doing something unique.

    Some completed projects don't see a lot of use since I have far more technology than I actually need, but some I use every day.

    Sometimes (rarely) I cannibalize an old project to feed a new project.

    Some projects are sitting in a queue to be upgraded.

    Some projects are tools or instruments that help build more projects.

    Some projects are ornamental and get displayed when and where appropriate.

    Some projects are accessories that go into service and never illicit a further thought.

    Some projects are for one time use and get re-purposed immediately.

    Some projects I don't quite know what to do with, mostly because I don't have enough room to put them on display.

    Some projects I have a vague idea to commercialize because I know others would like them, but I'm much more interested in creating things than spending time on business activities.
