1:12 scale working Victorian jack-in-the-box. Cherry wood with finger joints. Credit to Mike Yurkovic (Atomic Miniature) for designing the mechanism.

It doesn’t make music, but it does pop open when you turn the crank.

Victorian jack-in-the-boxes frequently had pictures pasted on the sides, typically children at play.

Fired Arts is currently running an Alternate Clay Bodies Event to experiment with less common clay types. Our first clay was a beautiful mica clay donated by @wandrson. These pieces were fired to cone 010 to preserve a strong shine effect. Mica clay can be left as is for decorative use, sealed with bear fat (or, you know, whatever oils you have at hand) for cookware or lined with a very low fire glaze.

Sparkle on, pottery brothers and sisters!

Work by: @Julie-Harris, @coffeebean, @Anette_Henningson, @mrjimmy and @JasonM314 (please let me know if I missed anyone!)

I made a coffee server, fridge holder thing. I used construction pine for the top and bottom and applied several layers of stain and sanding. Shelves are from some cedar and pecan I had laying around and the accent pieces are maple burl.

how did you make that?

Yeah! @Lordrook Those look amazing!

On the wood lathe with carbide cutters. I’d be more than willing to do a demo or teach a class on it :slight_smile:

I cannot stop laughing at this. I think I would endlessly laugh every time I saw your dog.

And his dog would judge you for that too

It’s pretty much non-stop comedy. We should probably start a Dogs of Makerspace thread somewhere.

EDIT: or cats, or hamsters, or llamas. pets are cool.
