Let's see the cool stuff you make! Official "show off thread"

[Itchytriggerfinger]

Almost finished. Just need to settle on stitching color.

 

[Lpherr]

Had a couple people request some composite bars and pen blanks.
So... I did a thing.

This is the first popped out of the mold. The pink was labeled orange from manufacturer, but
I think I like it. Have to see what customer says.

Pics just don't capture the chatoyancy.
(the colors are just a representation. once cut into, the pattern will be vastly different)






I'm considering trying my hand at making a knife.
Something like this one below, so at least it's useful.
The Mrs. favorite style of knife.

Took many cad classes in highschool and at ivy tech doing this kind of work to realize I don't like sitting behind a computer that long. It was fine and dandy for school.


My dads father gave me a print he was a part of from years ago. It is about 3 feet tall and 10 or so feet long. It was just one of 3 or 4 for this particular part.

I can't say I entirely disagree with you. It's hard to sit here all day, however I can't really complain when it's either 100° or 0° out. My last job was awesome because I worked in the office and in the field depending on what needed to be done that day. There is a certain comradery in the field you don't really get in an office, and you usually don't risk falling asleep at the desk.

I've seen plenty of old school prints, but never something that big. I bet that was hell to keep intact in the field.

Fresh pour.
Waiting for the cool down, so it can be popped out.

If I can find it, I'll post a pic....
As to the rest... yeah, there are days I miss having an office job. Any day in an attic for one.

Do it!

Btw, I love the blocks you made me, they look awesome! The dark ones are going on my first Damascus project, just got to cut them to size. Have you ever done any with wood?

Custom Red dot trap gun -four inch eye relief gives you a 12x12 view - Set it on top of the trap house and move right or left to the bird

 

[Frosty]

Got the sheath done for my latest knife

The blade was ordered and supposed to be here Monday.
The Mrs. chose the stainless over the Damascus, but it is for here after all.
Being my first, I'm sure I'll mess up something.

I've cast mixed media in the past, however, this particular material isn't the best option.
I also don't have the equipment to do it anymore.

And just like the food and restaurant threads on prices, composite prices have jumped significantly.

We all know who to credit for it.

 

[Lpherr]

This is my first knife I've ever made.
Nothing special, and the photo quality is less than poo.
I can't take a photo to save my life.


The colors seem dark, but really aren't, so it doesn't show very well.
The last pic shows the colors.










I don't think there will be a second knife in my future.

Color me impressed!

 

[Lpherr]

I think it looks great!

Thanks. It's not up to your caliber, but everything went pretty smooth.
I doubt I'll do any more. We'll see what happens.

 

[Lpherr]

Color me impressed!

You and I both. I didn't expect it to be worthy of showing, and expected to toss it to the back of my workbench, to be found sometime in the future.
I was surprised when the Mrs. said she will cherish it. She used it today to slice some steaks, and she said it worked great.

My caliber isn’t that high, and it’s a fine looking blade!

 

[racegunz]

Made this to go with my new reloading bench

 

[Combat_turtle]

Custom kydex holsters

Those are really nice. I started making holsters myself about a year ago mainly due to having and going through guns so much its never cost effective to buy them. now i want to start trying to make some like those.

 

[Frosty]

Custom order finished today, 160 layer Damascus.

 

[Itchytriggerfinger]

Sublimation printing is tricky but the results are phenomenal.

 

[Frosty]

Got a couple done this weekend, first is an 80 layer Damascus with @Lpherr custom scales

Next one my buddy drew up and I made it for him.
