What is the last thing you made? (pics pls)

Just made a couple of quid today…

Hope not to make a monkey of myself tomorrow and give it all back

A meths stove out of a Sigg bottle.

not making something but painted…
i steampunkd a couple of nerf guns last night

best thing is they still fire!

started out like this

In the hope of some nice weather this summer.
(I know, the garden needs a tidy up.)

I done made this little table here, with a veneer marquetry design of the Clash…

People – you make some good stuff..!

WIP

Never heard of a nerf gun before. First google search throws up this lunacy…

This-

Used to be open plan from the living room to the hallway and front door..
Looked nice but was freezing and noise from downstairs used to carry upstairs.. Not good for nightshift!!

Carved a bowl from wood with …

axe—chisels—knives—sandpaper—wax

I made a book

I made DavidB some money by buying that book.

last thing I made?

beer. 33x 500ml bottles of 6% ABV pale ale

I made a little sex wee because of beej

Actually this was the last thing i made

A new titanium bangle – gemstones are able to slide back and forth.

I’ve got into making bread. Proper bread.

I made a gate last year. From wood, not bread.

I also made some students pass their first lot of A level exams. Though they may have helped a bit too.

I’m made some skirting boards run around a door.

i steampunkd a couple of nerf guns last night

What sort of paint do you use for that sort of work?

(Only, I have a similar project in the pipeline)

Some beer…

Was supposed to be a 6% Belgian, but some hiccups in the garage lead to a shortfall in quantity and a potential 9% monster.

Oh well…

What sort of paint do you use for that sort of work?

(Only, I have a similar project in the pipeline)

spray the whole thing black with some games workshop matt black

then humbrol enamels for metalic colours

and games workshop acrylics with water for a wash to make it look grubier
and a light spray varnish from an art shop

you can get a good metalic shine to grunge effect using the humbrol metalcotes, you paint it on then buff it up with a soft cloth (the stuff in the recesses not buffed remains very diffuse and dark), blue acrylic wash works well on top of gunmetal. varnish to finish.

Hopefully building one of these for myself in the next couple of weeks. Was going to be lazy and get assisitance, but this thread has reminded me it’ll be more satisfying to do it personally 🙂

I made a childs day by handing them a sharp knife, some twigs, a bag of marshmallows and a lit kelly kettle…

Shmores allround, while watching the snow settle all around us 8)

I’ve got a lovely 3rd degree burn from toasting marshmallows.

Predictably

*is still wanting to be the adopted child of mcmoonter*

I made one hundred pounds by selling my book.
Thanks everyone here who bought it and thanks for anyone who reviewed it.

I’ve just made it to 8 days without a cigarette.

well done squidlord!!

But more importantly I want to see what WCA has made recently …….!!

Kimbers / Klunk > cool, ta for the info.

Last thing I ‘made’ was either a modded Xbox controller (replaced the worn-out controls) or a couple of Windows Server 2008 servers, but neither really count I guess.

Ebygomm…..I WANT!! Can you buy them?

new rocker for the bike engine

Rorschach: Not for sale I’m afraid, it’s very hard to sell any handmade sort of toy in the UK

ebygomm – that really is very cute. Are you selling that fabric ^^^?
Hard to sell any kind of handmade anything imo.

Anyway I made 3 handbags http://emmyjane-design.blogspot.com/ out of Union Jack fabric.

Oooh good news Ton.

The fabric is for sale at Spoonflower

I’m just proofing it at a slightly smaller scale which I think is a bit more useable though

I’ve made lots of sock animals but the tortoise/hare is my first reversible one
