What have you made/created today?

Pretzels fingers crossed

 

Boil then bake ???

 

Yessir

 

Nothing created yet, only drawings and 3d models so far, but had a customer come in with a Can-Am Spyder that wants some work done. Looks like we're going to prototype some UCA mounted LED fog brackets, some LCA armor of some type, and some handlebar/tree brackets to mount switches for aftermarket lights and accessories on. He has some ideas for some modifications to help handicapped individuals still enjoy the vehicles. I love being a part of the design process and doing odd ball things like this.

All in all it's a nice change from boring base plates and punched angle. I'll try to get some finished pics of the vehicle and the prototypes mounted up.

 

Any concrete folks in here either by trade or hobby?

 

I do as little with concrete as possible... only downside is its expensive to get work done if you need concrete...

 

Updated pic

 

Finally finished and shingled. Now lets hope for the best, lol!!!!

 

Damn, that looks good.

 

Thank you, but ill be completely honest, it was completely luck of the draw evenning up like that, lol

 

Damn, there's some talented people here! I just scrolled through all 63 pages, it's pouring rain outside and I can't seem to get off my arse to do anything else. I especially liked all the stained glass; I also do it, but it has been sporadic over the last few years. I learned how about 35 years ago. Here are a few of the pieces I've done; most I've made were commission pieces and gifts. The latest one is the yin-yang/day-night piece, it sits in a gable end in my den. I plan to retire in a couple of months and start doing glass art again.

 

those are great! You got some skills!

 

Finished up a new painting yesterday for a co-worker who's retiring. This one is extra special because it just happens to be the same home I'm purchasing from her!!

 

Concrete table with tile imbedded legs are cedar scraps from the deck build

 

Bought some 1095 high carbon steel and started making a knife. The steel is pretty much done besides being heat treated and then finish sanded and sharpened. The handle is zebra wood. Roughly cut the pieces out for that. Once I heat treat the blade I will epoxy that to the handle along with brass pins through the handle and then sand that until its pretty and feels good in the hand and then I’ll stain it. Was planning on trying to finish it before Father’s Day for a gift for my dad but it’ll be late cuz I’m too busy haha

 

Went from this...
To this...

 

Father’s Day gift. He wanted a frame for his address letters. Not as clean as I hoped but still getting into the swing of more precise cuts and router work.

 

Prototypes, prototypes, and more prototypes...just some random parts for some atvs and other smaller fun vehicles. Fog light brackets and license plate mounts of sorts. Random stuff...still want to do some things for MY truck one of these days.
