Dallas Makerspace Show & Tell - March 2019

[Spoonanator]

Did you shoot a throwing knife?!

[nacho]

Ninja star!

[bertberaht]

So maybe that’s what brought the Po Po to DMS!
Just kidding …

[Spoonanator]

I wish i could like that more than once. You have become win…

[HankCowdog]

You need to modify the banana clip with magnets so it can hold additional shuriken on either side.

[nacho]

It already has magnets to hold additional shurikens. They just all fall off due to the impact of the spring. It would need some sort of cradle or dock, or a much stronger magnet.

[HankCowdog]

Maybe use diagonal slots with magnets as backup? Something like this?

[Brian]

The handle on our mailbox broke. Though the mailbox is … uh … more than a year old and probably should be replaced I decided to 3D print a new handle.

[Julie-Harris]

I have been attaching plant spikes to random things that weren’t meant to be attached to plant spikes to make ceramic plant waterers.

[dougemes]

Thanks to @squaredroots for teaching the Metaza class. I know have a pen with my name on it!

The vise was very easy to use.

[Edenblue]

3D painted necklace from Shelly’s class. Amazingly easy and such a fun class!

[meanbaby]

I love to make, I had a very productive day, had a great time in pottery, kicked up my resin skills and unloaded a kiln full of glass.

Resin and ink not a class, just something I fiddled with.

Shot glass class

The Glass department is coming very soon.

[MathewBusby]

What sort of ink(s)? It’s much more opaque than I would expected. Very cool.

[meanbaby]

Alcohol, it’s the same technique used on the shot glass.

[apparently_weird]

Laser cut ring initial attempt. Is also my new rfid badge.

[rlisbona]

These are some Tig welded stainless Steel tomato cages, i used SS hog rings to assemble, one is 60", the other 40" , tapered hexagon, 12" cord length at bottom, 10" at top. I learned that i need about 15 seconds of post flow on shielding gas, 3-4 seconds max to make the joint, at 5 seconds the heat spreads too far and the joint will slump. Definitely improved my puddle flow skills on this.

[darrent]

Wow! Nice work, Randy! Those look beefy! My tomato plants can pretty much knock down anything, but I doubt they’d knock down those.

[rlisbona]

Thanks, I still have plans to make some stakes that I can drive in to keep them from blowing over in a high wind, but I have a little time before I need those.

[HankCowdog]

Nice project on which to practice/perfect your TIG skills.
