= Projects =
Andrew generally has a number of projects in various phases of completion at any given time. These projects are listed as '''Active''', in-which they are currently underway, '''Completed''', wherein no further work is planned for an initiative, or '''Archived''', where the project has been placed on pause indefinitely (unless otherwise noted).

== Active Projects ==
The following projects are in various stages of active development, whether they be in ''Planning'', ''Design'', ''Development'', or ''Finishing''. Occasionally, active projects will have a final ''Packaging'' step, which will be noted.
=== Woodworking ===
;[[User:Andrewvaughan/Cat Tree|Cat Tree]] ''(Development)'': A simple cat tree for use at home, complete with three levels, hooks for hanging toys, a removable ladder, and an enclosed house on the second floor.
;[[User:Andrewvaughan/Soprano Ukulele|Soprano Ukulele]] ''(Planning)'': An effort to build the moulds, jigs, and other systems to empower easily-repeatable builds of high-quality, hand-made Ukuleles. Soprano Ukulele's being the smallest of the Ukulele set (with some exceptions), can be one of the most challenging [[Luthierie]] projects given the preciseness needed for the build coupled with the small footprint of the design.
;[[User:Andrewvaughan/Tenor Ukulele|Tenor Ukulele]] ''(Planning)'': Similar to the Soprano Ukulele project, but with moulds, jigs, and systems to build Tenor ukuleles.
=== Archived Projects ===
;[[User:Andrewvaughan/Briarwood Smoking Pipe|Briarwood Smoking Pipe]] ''(Planning''): Using only hand-tools (with the exception of preliminary block cut of the wood), Andrew aims to carve a functional smoking pipe from briarwood.
=== Electronics and Computing ===
;[[User:Andrewvaughan/8-Bit CPU|8-Bit CPU]] ''(Development)'': A build of an entirely-functional 8-bit CPU, using a custom developed architecture and instruction set, using only TLS and CMOS chips. The CPU is designed to be modular and expandable, so that further instructions and capabilities can be added in the future.
;[[User:Andrewvaughan/MiniNES|MiniNES]] ''(Development)'': A [[Raspberry Pi]] project with a 3D-printed NES enclosure to support a custom version of the [https://retropie.org.uk/ RetroPie] project.
;[[User:Andrewvaughan/LillyOS|LillyOS]] ''(Development)'': A custom-built boot loader, file system, and operating system intended for use in high-security, low-detection file transfer. LillyOS is encrypted at time of cross-compilation with a private key that is used to load the operating and file systems into memory at load. Therefore, without the correct seed, invalid instruction sets will be processed by the host computer, instead of simply encrypting just the files on the operating system itself.
;[[User:Andrewvaughan/Dockerized Gary's Mod Server|Dockerized Gary's Mod Server]] ''(Development)'': Building on the [[User:Andrewvaughan/Dockerized Steam Server|Dockerized Steam Server]] project, this open-source library provides a push-button mechanism to launch a [http://www.garrysmod.com/ Garry's Mod] server for use with the game [https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=135509255 Prop Hunt].
== Completed Projects ==
=== Electronics and Computing ===
;[[RaspberryPi Reduced-Image Tool]]: An open-source tool to help users reduce the bloatware included with the formal [https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/ Raspbian] image provided by the [https://www.raspberrypi.org/ Raspberry Pi Foundation], as well as to help new users understand the purpose and footprint with pre-included packages.
;[https://github.com/andrewvaughan/docker-steamcmd Docker-Supported Steam Server]: An open-source Docker project that provides push-button launching of any dedicated [https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Dedicated_Servers_List Steam server]. Supports all current versions of Ubuntu as a base image for the virtual machine, and is available in the formal [https://hub.docker.com/r/andrewvaughan/steamcmd/ Docker Hub].
;[[SNES-in-a-Controller]]: Originally a challenge as a [[30-Minute Build]], the SNES-in-a-Controller uses a [[Raspberry Pi]] Zero, an integrated lithium-ion charging circuit, battery, and USB SNES controller to provide a portable, HDMI-compatible RetroPie emulator.
