Subaru Stripes

This weekend I help someone with some decal stripes for his Subaru.  Unfortunately, the material he had kept slipping in my cutter so I made some paper masks and cut them out by hand.

Birthday Stitch Art Card

This is another little art card I sent out to a friend.  My picture was horribly fuzzy but that’s all I got, unless they send me a better one.

Voltron Season 2

Yesterday, Netflix released season 2 of Voltron, so I thought I’d doodle a lion real quick and get back to my binge watching.

Disassembling My Workshop

putting away workshop

I feel like I often have difficulty explaining to people that it’s not always a simple thing to walk out into the garage and start working on a project.  Most of my tools are stashed away so we can use the garage to park our cars whenever possible.  I thought as I was packing it all away tonight, I would capture the Tetris/Jenga in pictures.  The rule of thumb seems to be the only tool I need is the one with the most stuff on top of it.

The workbench is the one I made here, here, and here.

Scout Solo

For this Sunday’s bulletin sketch, I depicted our little cat as Han Solo.  I’ll need to do another with our decidedly grumpier old girl as the Emperor.

I added some color in the computer.

Building a Table Top

new table top

My wife bought a table a few weeks back that was really cute, but the top had been replaced with some veneered fiber board.  This seemed like a good time for me to start my pipe-clamp army and I made her a new one (above).

I also threw together this base for my pipe clamps.  I bought three 10′ iron pipes and cut them into pairs that are 2′, 3′, 4′, and 6′.  I bought four sets of the IRWIN 1/2″ fittings.

Icosahedrons for Etsy

icosahedrons

I recently sold some solid wood d20 widgets (icosahedrons) through my Etsy store, so I thought I’d post a picture.  If anyone else is interested in some, or dodecahedrons, please leave a comment here or at my store.
