Red Mosquito

Once in awhile you have to do a piece for yourself. Buck Rodgers style

Well the build is finished. Though I think I'm gonna turn the feet/landing gear the other way.
Lots of sanding to do tomorrow then painting and light installation.
The exterior is going to be white and the inner loop deck(which runs clear all the way through) is going to be an intense orange.
Gonna paint over with a phosphorescent UV paint I'm getting from New Zealand.

The shape is pretty sweet! Impressive use of wood.

Your hand must be feeling better?

Hand is 100% again. Clocked myself good with the hammer though

Ouch!

I'll bet that got your attention! lol

Don't hammer and txt at the same time. Lesson learned.

Ouch. The beards looking great, though.

Thanks Sarge

Dont need a helmet got a hard hard head
Don't need a raincoat I'm already wet
Don't need a bandage cos there's too much
Blood after a while seems to roll right off

Crafting things can be dangerous. I've given blood a few times myself.

I had a couple of men's bands cast and engraved this last week. My boyfriend's sister is getting married and I did the groom's ring.

I'm still working out a skull ring. I have some better tools now, and I really just think I needed to try a simpler thing before getting all sassy.

I love those green rings. Jade?

Wax models for casting. The process is called "lost wax."

The waxes come in different strengths and they're color coded. The green wax is the hardest kind.



This is one of the bands I did. ^ all nice and shiny.

If I ever find myself entering the family way, I'll hire you for rings

Less than 200 likes to go huh? Hrrmm..
I'll see what I can do to help.

My man is on his way home today though, so I may not be seen on social media til next week. Is there room for him and me on your futon or sofa bed?

Of course! They're both doubles. Futon is way way bigger though.

Whoo hoo! Someday.

Got the first coat on the inside loop. It'll rock once the lights go in.
Not sure about the white exterior now. Might just leave it bare

Let it simmer before you decide whether to paint the exterior white. Either way it looks great!

What a kick in the balls. So I've been wanting to build this table for over a year and didnt know how to build an internal frame given the odd shape. finally had a eureka moment and got ahead of myself and built it.
And never fuckin measured the room it's going into.


D'OH!!!
I mean it fits but it dominates the room and its a bit tight
