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.

Casting Al


I'm taking an Aluminum casting class. This is my first cast. Hopefully I can make something a little cooler. What is that thing anyways?

Very Benchy.




Took me a little bit longer than I had expected, but it came out pretty good. Some of the joints could have been better, but I'm still learning. At least this project gave me a nice break from the bathroom remodel. Again it's made of macassar ebony, walnut and maple.

Another unfinished project


I started this one about 2 years ago. Dug it out of the closet about a week ago and its 3/4 done now. Macassar ebony with walnut butterflies. The base will be made of walnut too. Its about 36" X 7" X 2". Oh yea, its gonna be a short bench.

en-Ti-rely too much?

Well this is the beginning of a titanium iPod case. Maybe a little bit of an overkill, but whatever.
Just gotta learn how to put the 4 jaw chuck on the lathe.
