Dallas Makerspace Show & Tell - October 2019

[John_Marlow]

Trick-or-treat bags for the (grand)nephews/niece.

Glow-in-the-dark heat transfer vinyl, cut on the Cameo (thank you to @squaredroots for a good Cameo class!) Partially serged at DMS (thanks @Kriskat30 for reminding me how to thread it!) Plastic needlepoint canvas stitched into the base of each flat-bottom bag to hold its shape and French seams so nothing is raw/exposed inside the bags. Pumpkins on both sides of each bag help people see the kids coming and going.

The heat transfer vinyl was fun and exciting because it turned out so well. Now I’m trying to think of other things I need to do with heat transfer vinyl!

[squaredroots]

Wow those came out REALLY well

Forged square knot bottle opener prototype. Made from two pieces of 1/4” hot-rolled steel.

Need to work on evening up the scrolled ends.

First Makerspace project and first laser project finished yesterday. Thanks to DMS members Jeff, Thornton and Mark for help along the way!

Display coffin for our booth at the Screams Halloween park. Made out of cardboard, woodgrain contact paper, and crushed panne fabric for a total cost of $12 (plus tax…).

[John_Marlow]

Very clever! It looks great and you’d never guess the ingredients.

[apparently_weird]

Those are GREAT! Love the etching design!

[samsnydertx]

Happy with how they came out, and learned I need to adjust for kerf for a tighter fit. Thank you!

[HankCowdog]

That rich, red fabric really sells the project for me. Lovely!

[Hardsuit]

Now set up and in use in Waxahachie!

[TBJK]

My wife wants some of the tiles.

Wonderful chain mail class taught by Rose Smith with John Kuhlenschmidt and Linda Dallas helping out. Initially complicated, but it turned out well.

Now to finish linking the two sides together.

Pic preview seems strange on my device, but looks fine if I click the picture…

A little laser work this time. This is my digital inspired Dallas Skylin 18x10". The alternating background is all side grain Mesquite blocks. The inlay is a Philippine mahogany species veneer on thin plywood. Cheers!

Create everyday.

[nicksilva]

Say Yes to the dress. I love doing line work. It’s very minimalist yet still paints a big picture. 4x6" on mesquite. New work is going to slow me down a bit but I’ll be back with more soon. Cheers!

Create everyday.

Chainmaille class last Friday plus my wire scorpion [yay, youtube]
I had a hard time deciding on what colors to use for joining the two strands, so I made my own rings out of wire from a multi-color pack I bought. Copper joiners on one side and dark red on the other [since it’s reversible.]
I also designed a spinner connector so I could just swivel the scorpion when I change which side of the necklace is facing out.

[grahamb]

Fabulous!!! I love the design. Can’t wait 'til you are teaching classes!

[Terrence]

Very nice! Reminds me of the time I made Halloween gravestones out of glued up cardboard painted with faux stone spray paint.

[jendrew12]

Finished zipping it together. Was inspired by @Sarah_Hustwit to get it completed before I forgot how. Thanks again to @Just_Me for her time teaching such an interesting pattern and the effort in putting together the class.
