Jan R. Long
Engineer, maker, builder of tools I needed and couldn't quite buy.
What I'm working on
fiveanddime
Point-of-sale built for craft-fair and market vendors. Records sales, tracks inventory, runs event reports. Your data lives in your own Google Sheet.
Maker Pricing
A free pricing calculator for makers who hate spreadsheets. Enter what one item costs you to make, and it tells you the lowest price that still pays you for your time and materials.
sparq.tools
Web-based laser-cutting toolkit: measure kerf, fix SVGs, and generate cut-ready files for boxes, stands, star charts, and more.
Woodendoodle
Unique, handcrafted laser-engraved pieces specializing in topography and city maps. Sold locally and in person.
Woodendoodle Designs
Digital design files for laser cutting. A mix of patterns, templates, and one-off pieces, no single theme.
A bit about me
Retired engineer, still wired to build things. I work between a laser cutter and a code editor, mostly making tools I needed and couldn't quite buy off the shelf.
When I'm not at the workbench I'm probably on a pickleball court, behind a camera or adventuring with Penny, my mini-goldendoodle sidekick.
