Luke & I made an LED XMas Tree
Ohh yeah and managed to fit two led controllers In the power supply. One for Experimental pixel mapping, blue tooth and NFC. The other for WiFi and Math algorithms. Plus a 12v to 5v buck and a DSP audio processor with line in and microphone. Plus daisy chaining all the GIOP, TX, RX and sharing audio pins all between them so they can be daisy chained either way in software and switched between with a toggle switch Between the experiment if it fails to the stable production one I’ve been using on the fly if needed

A friend of mine harvested a wild hog on his ranch and I extracted the tusks. I decided to make a primitive-looking knife using One of the tuskd as the handle. (Not super practical, but neat looking). I forged the blade with a short, curved hidden tang (boar tusks are hollow) out of a section of coil spring using the induction forge.
To reinforce the primitive look, I finished it with a knapped flint look to it.
I’m happy with the finished look, though the extreme curve in the handle makes it a better desktop letter opener than an EDC.

The wrap is suede leather lace, applied with a copious amount of super glue and the end of the wrap tucked under an earlier loop to contain the end.
Form 2 Grey Resin print @ 50 microns. Model from myminifactory.com

Modified to add loop so can be used an ornament and hollowed out for SLA printing.

I tried to follow a you tube wrapping video to wrap this glass fused pendant I made (bubble and all) a while back. Any suggestions for a necklace to go with it I’m all ears.

small black beads, perhaps? Rock Barrell (near TI) usually has a good selection of stone beads. You might even find some that are like the glass in the background.

Thanks that is a neat suggestion!
My 2nd and 3rd stained glass projects ever. Getting more confidence and happy with the results regardless. Added one of the bead spiders from the class awhile back to the spider web. All are Xmas gifts.
