I'm freezing over here to the point where those pictures make me want to snuggle up with my monitor.

the colors on the top pic (Scarf?) are brilliant.

Aww thanks! I'm never going to claim knitting is cool, but I was kind of proud of that scarf

I bought my first scarf like 2 years ago and i don't know how i ever made it through a winter without one.

Made a wine rack. Gonna stain and wax it. Make it look 100 years old:)

Lots of good stuff on Wooden Ideas.

Spread the word:)

Finished

That's a nice guillotine, dime.

someone else said that too!
Shit. Maybe I should close off the back after all

I don't think it would work very well then.

Ah it wouldn't make a difference to function. Just look a little different.
I'm leaving it.

Speaking of wax..

Fabricating designs out of wax is the shiznit.

We did that in my high school jewelry fabrication class but I had a tough time seeing what I wanted and was really unhappy with the cast piece. Also, the machine didn't spin right and there was a bubble with no place to hide it.

I decided to give it a try. At work we carry casting equipment and I had no clue how to even sell it because I had no idea about the process.

There's a seasoned goldsmith above our store, so I'm going to ask him to help me with the actual casting. Then I can recast at home using sand.

Wow that's a beauty!!

If you can do that you can do anything!

That's hard to do!

beautiful job mookie
