YES!!! Looks great!!! I bet if you wait a bit after wetting the leathers so the inside is moist but the outside is not as much, the impression will be better.

So far ahead of my pay grade. Gosh that’s impressive.

Sounds like that “patience” thing I keep hearing about. :slight_smile:

Very nice! Are those welded steel frame with screwed on wood treads? Is that a special paint to create that texture?

Yes, got some 1/4 steel and pieced it together. Took a DMS welding and wood shop classes. Wood paint is textured deck paint for more tire traction.

This is my first thing on the vinyl cutter. I think I started too big, it took four tries to get it applied without folding up and crap.

So I made these today. One is a quilted panel, seen in door panels & dashes. It was made by putting on the slip roll first then to the harbor freight brake.


The next is a cube made out of one piece of sheet steel with “DMS” cut into.

You do good sheet man. (sorry couldn’t help myself). I remember you talking about doing this the other day. When will there be an advanced class … be sure to wear your Baileigh hat!

Some new tools for automotive, etorx set, nice pliers, swivel sockets (cheaped out on the swivel sockets instead of getting the professional quality set)

Have a receipt printer connected to a pi for a start of a storage kiosk (initially to replace preprinted cards only)

Could deploy it now but then you would require a smart phone / computer on dms wifi to access the internal website, so will find a small screen to make it a kiosk in the next couple of days.



Code is at github.com/brandonagr/dms-storage

Been working on a virtual model of DMS… it could serve as the basis for any number of hilarious games

Very nice for creating this!

Pretty cool - like the title Virtual Model vs Virtual Reality … no tools left out in yours!:laughing:

Sweet!! That’s pretty awesome!! Thx!!

Custom engraving of Atari 2600 related items for a custom pinball project I’m doing. :slight_smile:

Here is another pic of one of @Raymond’s pieces from last night’s Metaza engraver class. It turned out really awesome!


Here are a couple of pieces that Rose made on the Metaza during the same class. The first one is the “test” piece on a thin, inexpensive aluminum dog tag. The second one is the same image on an old piece of what we believe is brass.


Finally, here are a couple of pieces that Linky made during the Friday night class. They were both made using the rhodium plated heart pendants that we have been making available for $5 each during the classes. :two_hearts:
