Dallas Makerspace Show & Tell - August 2019

Here’s a candle holder I made with the help of someone named Jeff on Sunday. I don’t know his last name.

Thank you to @Kriskat30 for showing me how to use a sled to avoid losing an arm to the bandsaw. Good catch!

This looks ambitious - and impressive!

Made a few pens as gifts for the production staff of the most recent musical I worked on.

L to R: cocobolo (Rollester kit), honey locust (Rollester kit), osage orange* (Rollester kit), honey locust (Slimline pencil kit), cocobolo (Slimline pencil kit), bodark* (Sketch pencil kit).

*it’s part of a joke; those two are going to the same person, and he’s a wood aficionado. And has a weird sense of humor like me.

Sliding bolt latches. These will secure two cabinet doors to a center post (on a not-yet-made cabinet).

Fully functional (of course).

Sherline mill, lathe, plus handmade soldering iron tip turned from a hunk of large gauge solid copper wire.

(EDIT: Plus layers of bifocals, magnifying glasses, etc. :eyeglasses:)

(EDIT 2: How could I forget this?? Made with Walter Anderson brass! )

I made 48 feet of shade-curtains to screen the western side of my barn from the summer sun. Shade tarps from HF, split and edges sewn with flat webbing. Fender washers for bottom weight and EMT conduit as a curtain rod across the top.

DIY version worked out to about 1/3 the cost of commercial barn curtains.

Clear instruction, innovative demonstration pieces, and lots of hands-on help when needed.

Along with 5 fellow makers, I took @Edenblue’s resin pendant class tonight. Mind-boggling collection of glitter and other bling! I had a blast.
