Have glass cutter will travel

I've started repurposing used Snapple bottles to make drinking glasses!

But I decided to have a bit of fun afterward

My first attempt, freehand cutting the top off. It needs a lot of sanding & smoothing. But it's proof of concept!

Card Board is awesome!

Corrugated cardboard plus straight pins can make cool things!

Not Adamantium, but close enough.....

An old aluminum straight edge + Dremel + a few hours = Wolverine Claws

Holy, Batarangs Batman!

I may mentioned that I like Batman..... But I mean, let's face it everybody likes Batman.

 I took an old aluminum ruler and made Batman Begins style Batarang. I'm really pleased by how It came out!

On the left the is a older Batarang I made out of plexiglass a few years ago.
(Scroll back through an older blog entry)

 Both of them throw really well.

Wire wrapped glass spheres

Ok, so "spheres" might be a bit pretentious. They're marbles! But cool lookin' marbles! They catch the light nicely, and look good swept up in wire. Like miniature planets caught in a net!

Zebra Print Dog Walking Hands Free Belt

I made this belt for my friend Michelle, and her 2 dogs Lou & Junior! 

Almost 100' of paracord was used for it! 2,  1" steel rings are at each end, with a mountain climbing grade carabiner for a connector. The leashes can be clipped to the carabiner to be "hands free"

Donations, donations, donations!

My coworker Michelle volunteers at a Rescue. I had previously made her a paracord leash for one of her dog's Lou (red handkerchief) 

The other one is Junior!

She wanted some simple leads for her pooches. I'm also going to make her a bunch of leads for the Rescue she volunteers at! 

(pics to follow of more of my leashes in action)

Here's Junior breaking his in!

550lb paracord was used with a simple triple braided core and a "1/2" cobrastitch handle. With a 1" steel ring at the end for a slip knot!

A leash for old friend

I really love what I do! Notes like these are amazing

Buddy!

My friend Amanda recently got a new puppy!

(the cutie pictured above!)

 So I'm making this for her

A purple & black leash. 550lb paracord, triple braided core with a cobra stitch wrapped handle.

It has a secondary handle for added control.

Cartoons!

I've loved drawing ever since I can remember. I went ( I use the word "went" loosely) to the Art Instruction School, a  correspondence institution. Tipy the Turtle, Pete the Pirate! Remember them!? The creator of Peanuts, Charles Schultz went there!

To clarify things..... I am in no way comparing myself to likes of the creator of Snoopy...

I was always more of Garfield man. 

Jim Davis rules!

*most of these are done on bar napkins*

Is he a Road Runner? Or a Chicken?

            
              Armadillo!

             Mellon Collie

              Couch Potato is                   sad, 'cuz his couch               was stolen!

             What the hell is a                  legume any ways?

             I am (baby) Groot!

             Strong cup of                         Coffee!

            Pimp-le

           Miscon-Strudel

           Giraffes would make             terrible Ninjas

the letter M

 The letter "M" in sign language. I'm happy with how this piece turned out!

Ornaments!!

A few of the Christmas ornaments I've made in their homes!
