Welcome Small Projects

I needed a welcome mat, so instead of buying one of course I made it. I think it came out ok. Made of a mild steel grate and Pine 1x2.

Back to the Hole

Finally finished the floor!!!! Whoo Hoo! It feels like it took forever. I actually finished before Maine, but I didn't get around to posting till now. Now just gotta build the vanity, painting and trimwork and then I'll be done! I'm in the home stretch.

Totally swamped

Been getting totally hammered at work, (and the surf hasn't been half bad either) no time/strength for projects.

Although, thanks to T & L P I got to go to the Comic-Con!


And made a decent dinner. (Turnips from Super Mario 2)

Islesford Boatworks.

I made this a while back in my Al Casting class, but I couldn't post it till it was given. Go check out their site! http://www.islesfordboatworks.org/

Back from Yo! semite and the desert.

View from around 7000' in the White Mountains. 4% humidity! Bone dry.

Some pretty cool colors on the rocks. Found them outside an old mine.

Walking through an oasis in the desert.

The approach to Devils post pile.

Didn't get to see the pile, but I did see this cool river.


The Following is sight seeing in Yosemite at
50 MPH.

Although I did get to stop a couple of times.

On the way home we stopped by fossil falls. Neat! For about 1/2 hour.

Al LTK & I like Eating Thien!

I couldn't figure out what to cast at first, so I decided to try to sculpt Lark's Long Tail Kitty, and I Like Eating Thien! The First long Tail Kitty ended up being a short tail Kitty, and the second was medium tail kitty. Finally I cast a Long Tail Kitty. Thien came out a little scary looking if you looked at him straight on, but from 45 degrees he looks pretty good.

One stone at a time.

Started installing my floor. I think I could have finished it, but the 5 gallons of stone I had Prepared was not enough for the 30 square feet of floor... Well back to cutting stone.... I think I gotta cut bout 2 more gallons worth of stone.... bummer.

Al Casting.

In my Aluminum casting class I have made several name plates. These both have some parts that didn't turn out exactly as planned, but I say it adds character! More Casting projects to come.

single.

Finished the single speed build up. I just removed the freewheel, reversed the axle, and re-dished the wheel. from there, it was just a matter of buying some parts. Actually I need to buy some pedals too, I'm using the pedals off of my mt. bike right now. Haven't ridden it yet, its been too windy/rainy. No, its not a fixed gear cuz I'm weak.

ti-Pod

Yea! Put the last touches on the Titanium Ipod case. Now my iPod is bulletproof! A little overboard? Yea.
