What have you made/created today?

Yep, one seized bolt away from a whole day's project.

 

how it goes for me as well! LOL

 

My glue finally came in; I see mosaics in my future

 

how much did that cost you?

 

$34. I go through a $12 bottle about once a year, so I figured it was worth the investment lol
Small Bottle: $.80 per fl oz
Large Bottle: $.30 per fl oz

 

Does it keep ok after you open it? Id assume it would

 

I haven't made anything cool or non truck related in awhile so here's what I made for the truck.... Pinion spacer... Exciting

 

It should, the tip on the user friendly tubes clog a bit after a few months but not dry, just too thick for the nozzle to dispense. It's water soluble, so if you soak it the film will peel eventually. It's basically like if Elmer's was a super glue. I'll probably be emptying it into my smaller bottles so I opening it infrequently will help I'm sure, but I've been using it straight out of the tub for now

 

I made coasters for my family for Christmas!

 

Cast a concrete patio table for the BIL. used red dye and acid stain for the letters. Had a friend cut the letters, and I glued them to the bottom of the form.
Mixed the concrete a little too stiff and some letters moved.
Oops.

 

And a book bin for my nephew

 

And the final one, a tic tac toe board for my niece and nephew. Names are Ryan and Kennedy.

 

Did you use stencils or freehand? I can blend metal, wood, cut fine detail etc, but damn when it comes to text it looks like a freaking monkey had it's way with a brush.

 

Haha we used stencils! I can’t freehand either man. I’m still learning my way with woodwork..

 

An other neat thread. I love making my own things and making things my wife wants to have. I started with a small set of trees. Then the wizard is next. Waiting on a finish saw. It'll be ready next Monday or Tuesday. I'm doing this with a falling saw I use in the woods.

 

Even as someone who paints and draws on the regular... free-handing words s u c k s

 

Wow, those are awesome! Back home in Wisconsin some people used to put their carvings like that at the edge of their driveway and sell them. Always thought they were incredibly neat. I like the trees a lot, because they look kinda resemble the pinecones they drop looks super tedious to make stuff like that

 

23 parker upper/second station dash on a cobia tower for a customer that i finished up the other day

 

are those slices then glued on or intricate cuts with the chainsaw, on the little trees?

 

Those are each a separate cut. I won't use glue. I'm a chai saw Carver and will make the shape with a saw or start over. I used a 661c Stihl to block it out then a 261 Stihl with standard .325 chain to finish the trees. Also those are four feet tall and eighteen inches wide. Took some doin!
