Projects

This is the top layer of a 3 layer metal cake. What I am trying to show here is the garland. It is made from a My Little Pony tin and works quite well, surprisingly.

Ever growing collection of tools.

Tin waiting to be cut and flattened.

Bird pieces waiting to be assembled.

The vise is from Grizzly and is so heavy I can't lift it. There is a magnetized brake that fits in it's jaws. Here it is holding a punch. I'd have to say that the vise and the Boeing Surplus cart are my 2 favorite things in the shed.

Putting pieces together and figuring out how to form and attach shapes is when I am happiest. It is then that it feels like my brain is firing on all possible cylinders.
