Post pictures of something you have made!

I occasionally build custom slingshots, here are two I've made in the last year - one for a guy back east another for a guy in Germany. Each one is made from different woods as well as homemade micarta for the scales on the "Liberty" and for the core of "Die Urutu". I haven't sold any yet, each of the builds are for gifts or for trades of builds by others around the world. It's fun hobby, but one I don't spend a lot of time on.

Bike I built for a "rad rod" bike build off. The bars, front end and all the rear suspension stuff I built from scratch as well as the hand hammered copper seat.

This is one of the coolest projects I ever worked on. I collaborated with the artist Anna Shear. I built the thing, she designed it all and did all the little infill and glass work. Its in the side of a QFC in Ballard Washington. I am currently building something very similar for a condo complex in Seattle

I could go on, but you get the idea.

Your one kick azz talent. Your tats fit the part as well.
That wall thing is nuts!
Where do I start to learn how to weld?

 

[IronMonster]

Learning to weld is the easy part. A welder is nothing more than an expensive hot glue gun for metal.
What you need to learn is to be a craftsman. In any discipline being a craftsman means the same thing. You care, if you cant do it you learn how and you keep at it day after day. There is no magic involved, anything I can do you can do if you throw enough time at it.

Your a throw back. Old school. Thanks for the advice.

Never a truer statement on becoming a craftsman. True craftsmen also have an appreciation for ANYTHING (just about) that is done well.

A tribute piece I made

some warhammer 40k models i recently parted with.

 

[Stomper]

I dig reading the Warhammer 40k novels. Some dark and depressing stuff at times, but the expanse of the various storylines is amazing.

I restored and made this 68 impala into a national race winning drag car.

i never read the fluff, only played the game. i always liked my models but some people would sculpt some incredible things.

I started the process of making this into 2x4's;

Just started messing around laser cutting hardox. Now I just need to make a stand for it. Also going to make a 12" one.

You should be proud of both! Crochet like that is a dying craft.

 

[Liberty97045]

I made this back in the 80's when I worked at a fab shop (Irvington-Moore). You who work in industry will know what a "G-job" is.

The blade is 4140 annealed that was heat-treated by the machine shop foreman. The wood is ironwood that is used for chain conveyor carry ways.

The idea I had was to create a big knife that was still usable for cutting, whittling, etc. hence the deep belly close to the hilt. The second section is flat and can be used for cutting veggies, the third edge is the point which is sharp on both sides. All three edges have different angles. This thing is so massive and tough that you could hammer it into a tree and use it as a step!

That said, I never use it or carry it.

Well I made 1/2 of the booger nose with glasses and all of the baby blanket.
