What We're Making

Amazing.


Do people actually eat those? I wouldn't want to take a bite.

Beautiful! You didn't eat those did you?

Wow, great cookies.

Nice cookies! stunning detail!

I saw a photo of petroglyphs printed on metal and mounted on copper at an art gallery. I figured I'd make one of my own. Photo taken at Monument Valley, Az.

It looks like you really knew what you are doing! Is that just done with an inkjet printer?

Thanks - i think they infuse dye into the metal. This explains it: https://www.bayphoto.com/wall-displ...MIq8ign4PH2gIVi8DACh2YtQ5PEAAYASABEgLI7fD_BwE

Ronstar, Is that a photo that you mounted on copper or did you send away to have the photo printed on copper?

 

[Ronstar]

I sent a file to the lab and they printed it on aluminum 8” x12”. I cut a piece of 11” x 15” antique copper and glued it to a piece of plywood for the backing. Then I made the frame. And mounted the metal photo on a small spacer piece of plywood then on to the copper matting. The photo is suspended about 1/4” above the matting due to the plywood spacer.

Ronstar, Nice job!

I made the wiring harness, and restored the generator and semaphores (those little flip out things you see in the video) in that VW Beetle. Jerry bought it from a guy in FL who restored it a few years back.

And BTW, Jerry says in the video that the rear window was made in 2 pieces to save money, but that is actually not true. VW did not have the ability to mass produce curved glass at that time, and as such, every window in the car is perfectly flat. With the curve of the body/roof in the back, it was not possible to make a window that side out of one piece of flat glass.

I sewed a couple of lap quilts. It was fun to figure out in my head. One I’ll give to a neighbor for her Mom who is 94. The other I’ll most likely give to the Nevada State Veterans Home.

Finishing quilting on a comfort quilt for a cousin going through some health issues.

Nice quilts. I like that “wavy crosshatch” quilting pattern, it’s one of my go-tos when I can’t settle on a pattern.

I’ll share my two recent quilts. The teal and purple quilt was made as part of a training method for free-motion quilting. I’ll use it as a cheery throw to keep near the sofa in the Spring. The little green and purple quilt was a baby gift for my nephew and his wife.

Beautiful work from all of you people. So much talent and thanks for sharing.

Nice quilts - USA, Philliefan33 and texcurtis!

Thanks for sharing the quilts, they look great!

Sign for a local music store in place and a Springerle cookie made from a mold that I designed and cut on the CNC router. Mold was cut in Corian and cookie shows a lot of detail. I think the plan is to make and sell the cookies as a fund raiser, I’m just the mold maker!

I started making kitchen cutting boards several months ago; I also enjoy making longbows in the winter, lots of fun.

Nice....do you make the arrows for the bows also?

No, I don’t make the arrows; it’s pretty difficult to do without a lathe, so I just get em off Amazon!
