Make Cool Sh*t

Made some impromptu cicada medals for one of NextFab’s monthly Quizzos It’s not / completely / random - there was a cicada-themed round

I designed and waterjet some fun holiday candle holders for a fun event to get the public introduced to metal working at NextFab - info and really unattractive .gif of yours truly here http://blog.nextfab.com/holiday-fun-showflake-0

I mean, why wouldn’t I weld a bunny?

Waterjetting the pumpkin was so satisfying

But I also kind of miss walking into work and having put out fires, figuratively and literally

Natural fibers Because fire is easier to deal with than picking molten polyester out of your wounds

This was my first time trying my hand at some hotwork making a fire poker

Made my dad a sign for his garage for father’s day - he absolutely loved it

When you come into the shop and you see this >.<

Made a couple of pens while I was bringing my lathe skills up to snuff - they’re actually super nice to use (surprisingly enough)

This robot was named Peaches
