kinda like Erector sets, but with framing hardware

Framing hardware transformed into things!!! Neodymium magnets were used to hold the jaws & eyes in place
             
              3/4" & 1" bolts were used for the hand. So technically not entirely made of framing hardware.




**All framing hardware was purchased from such websites that sell such things**

Framing Tarantula!

A Spider made from framing hardware. It's weighs about a pound!
the legs are moveable as are the mandibles! Kinda like an Erector set I suppose.
I  may add some framing wire into the back half to allow it to be suspended like webbing!   




**All materials were purchased from such places and or sites that sell such materials**

Hands free paracord lanyard for dog walking!

A hands free (sash style) paracord lanyard that attaches to my leashes
Black & Grey 550lb, doubled triple flat braided with drum stitched loops at the end for a carabiner, or in this case a 450 lb screw threaded clasp link
(yeah, I just pulled that overly descriptive term for a metal loop outta my butt, cuz I'm not sure of the official term!!)    




*Excuse the less than great picture or me sitting on my couch, but I didn't have anybody to photograph my creations. 
So until I can teach Mack how to work a camera, these'll hafta suffice!
