what are your projects atm?

me: building a mini-hammock - birthday present

[Anonymous No.94388]

i was working on a hand chiseled wooden cereal bowl but I usually only spend about 30 mins to 1 hr a day on it because it is really monotonous. I honestly need a new project, any suggestions anyone? =/

Jimminy Cricket will be delighted.

I'm in the primary stages of learning how to sand cast for some artwork I want to make.

Gotta make a couple of work benches.

Repair a broken easel.

Re-stretch a canvas.

Finish a bunch of paintings.

Robotic arm made out of scrap metal and high torque servos, controlled by an arm sleeve with shitloads of flex sensors, using arduino mega as microcontroller. Shit should be so cash.

Looking into designing a steampunk forearm glove. Because why the fuck not. No experience with glovemaking and no IDEA where to acquire things like.. you know.. cogs and gears and shit... Also, had a tech project in mind but i'm not strong willed enough to bother starting it. Doesn't help that it's probably illegal..

Restoring a '68 Harley and a '59 Cadillac

Designing a wooden table for my DND crew so that we have slots for cards, dice, minis and utilities. Trying to get a glass table on there that I can slip maps under so we can write on it with dry erase markers. Going to try for a Viking theme. We'll see.

I have no current big/main project, but i did just go out and buy some random bits and pieces today.

You have the nerve to call this a project? You tied a piece of fabric to some vertical screws. Are you slow?

You need to seal the edges of the fabric with a clear drying glue. Elmers will work. Use a 3/4 glue, 1/4 water ratio. Mix, and apply to the raw edges with a paintbrush. Three coats should work.

Those screws do look pretty out of place, but with some decently weighted wire, you could turn them into trees. [http://www.cutoutandkeep(dot)net/projects/wire-tree ---> Use this tutorial as a reference on how to make roots/branches.]

Sew a tiny pillow for the thing, and make an itty bitty book to put in it. A tiny blanket would also be a great addition.

It could be a great gift. It just needs some imagination.

Building this for my brother for Christmas.

Its a replica Bolt Pistol from warhammer 40k using a Nerf Recon and MDF, at the moment its in the stage of uncoating and sanding back to remove any blemishes, as you can probably tell i have a fair bit more to do.

Build yourself a full body suit using this idea.

[Anonymous No.95067]

>>95006

Let's not go crazy with the "g" word.

It's a prototype, right, OP? Tell everyone that it's just a rough mock-up of the idea and that you'll be rebuilding it with more appealing components. Please do.

[Anonymous No.95083]

building a freely scalable printer (it's a vehicle with output equipment, essentially).

Using arduinos, hacked together with optical mouse sensors for positioning. Will put it into an old Power Macintosh 4400/7220 chassis, using the original HDD case to shield the non-transmitter electronics.
The output module will be exchangeable so that you could for example mount some kind of compressor and spray paint contraption onto it as well as a sander or whatever you can think of.

The device prints the image by driving over the user designated area in rows, getting data out of an array or a string that was sent from the drawing app that I will program for android devices.

I am planning to make this open source, so you can have fun with the documentation when the project is finished.

Sorry, no photos yet. Also, first arduino project. lol.

Just shut up and get out.

[Anonymous No.95107]

>>95086
Nah, I like it here. I actually like OP's idea. Miniaturization of everyday scenes can produce some really cool stuff when it's done well.

OP's on the right track, but I really do believe that he/she needs to be more picky when selecting components for their miniatures. The screw really isn't doing it for me. I would also suggest a thinner material for the hammock itself. Something that can fold and bend under it's won weight would give a more authentic look to the piece.

[Anonymous No.95115]

>>95086
you shut up. your attitude is condescending and fucking retarded. if there were more people like you in the world, we would all be dead due to incompetence. fact is not everything is special and magical, some things are complete and utter shit, like ops project. its a piece of cloth tied to a bolt. nothing genius about it.

Finished this at 3am; the denim is actually nearly as dark as the black wool cap on the right. I've finished a pattern which I hope will work into a pair of denim slippers using linoleum strap to fill the soles. They'll look like shit but I'm not leaving the house in them.

[Anonymous No.96947]

Nicely done. If you're worried about your creations looking like shit, just keep practicing. Eventually you'll start making things that you want to shop off to people.

[Anonymous No.96957]

Thanks. But it was more a comment on my attitude for assembling something to merely keep my feet warm based on a construction adapted from low-cut converse without eyelets or laces...just kind of thrown together. But yes, I notice my skills steadily improving.

Man, I have always, always wanted to do stuff like this. I've wanted to do it for a job too, but I don't want to move to California to do it.

Making stuff like that, especially after looking at Volpin's stuff, is so awesome. I guess it would help that I used to play Warhammer, so I know the techniques used to paint the shit.

[Anonymous No.97246]

I've just finished several batches of home brew beer for Christmas/New Years. Tomorrow I'll be putting another on to replenish my stocks.

Other than that not much. I'm considering making my own large format cameras but I'm going to need to sink some cash into proper wood working machinery and a CNC mill of some sort. Haven't got the cash for that anytime soon.
