Made my brother in law a shaving set for Christmas.
Blanks are a resin product called Trustone. Brush hair is high mountain white beaver, from golden nib.
Still working on the black / gold…

New member as of early December. My name is Duncan Hughes, dhughes095. I made 12 cutting boards and a cheese board for Christmas gifts. Everyone loved them. All end grain from walnut, cherry, and hard maple.

Did you make the steel as well? The handle looks awesome.
Nah, just did the handle. Bought the steel. I wish I had the skill to make blades, just not an area I’ve dabbled in yet. I have several more blades to do. This one was a gift.
Like. So. Many. Hahah. Thanks for letting me squeeze in on the sander that night!
No problem. Hopefully I never have to do that much drum sanding ever again…

All those people will be expecting you to raise the bar for Christmas 2019.

After amassing a lot of mits of leather and tools following @Webdevel’s passport cover class, I made a pattern to fit a standard Moleskine notebook for a holiday gift. The leather is a digitally printed offering from Frogjelly Leather in Mansfield. I added loopy things on the side to serve the dual purpose of notebook closure and pen containment.

Couple questions (as I’ve not followed by this, whoops). Please let me know if I should bring up elsewhere?
-
Is there not a separate space if we wanted to contribute to social media? I realize that probably somewhere, I once upon a time signed something that gives DMS the right to use for said things, but perhaps not everyone wants their items made public?
-
Is there a preferred tag/attribute for social media? Sometimes I do tag DMS as @dallasmakerspace I believe on IG and also as the hashtag, just didn’t know if there’s a preferred hashtag to categorize DMS?
Resin and coolibah burl bowl pressure cast with green alcohol ink and blue/green pearlescent pigment swirls. Turned on the lathe.

Holy guacamole that’s BEAUTIFUL!
Excellent work sir!
Actually he should serve guacamole out of that!
And if we have any ordained ministers handy…

I got ordained on this website, does that count? I can bless guacamole, marry guacamole, bury guacamole, baptize guacamole, in any religion.

I think a licensed minister should be just as relevant, no?
