Excellently done. How did ya make it?

>>28244
>>28239

Thanks.

And it's "Super Sculpey"..pretty lightweight, baking clay. Just did that, painted then glossed.

I've made like...charms and stuff a lot, pic related, but that was my first ear related piece which I was pretty happy with..

>>28247
Do you still do anything like that?

Also, because most of the sites I've been on have instructions that look like they were written by 5 year olds with a herpderp, does anyone have any good Nerf Gun mod projects they would like to share? I'm considering picking up a couple and pimping them out beyond "Take out the air limiter" mods.

>>28252
Sometimes, I just make whatever I can. Haha.

I've been trying desperately to fashion out a pattern for a garrison/overseas cap lately, for part of my Halloween costume..

But here's a little top hat..

You sound mad. I was impressed it took this long for the tripfag q.q ing
So how 'bout contributing?

(Also, just came over from another board and forgot my trip. Said fuckit.jpg)

You like the strap?

Was pretty easy and is so comfortable to wear, especially compared to the original Steiner-strap that scratched and itched my neck as fuck

>>28391
Your stuff seems to have a bit of a feel of combining lolita with some late Victorian... It's cute.

Hi, I made a longboard.

>>28403
Why thank you. I have a thing for corsets, and a thing for big skirts so you are pretty much spot on.
Pic related - corset and skirt (didnt make the blouse underneath)

I also make orikane.

>>28402
Yep. I like when people make things with practical uses. Gives me some faith in humanity
>>28407

Skirt could have used some ironing :/

I re-purposed some shipping containers.

>>28410
Excellent.
I happen to find the style very sexy, especially a well worn corset or corset-like top. Please, continue, you have a new fan.
>>28417
Very cool, but what's Orikane?

About that necklace, I have a few extra of those since I only used five pieces out of the whole set on this one. Any takers for one with a rook in the middle?

>>28443
I would like it. Contact info?


Also, this thread alone.... /diy/ is now my favorite board.

It rides wonderfully, but I'm prejudice. It's a tad bit higher than I wanted it to be, but that can be easily fixed. everything else is good.

Awesome. Do you just ride it casually or do you do some tricks and such?

>>28464
These things sound so simple, but the shapes lend some complexity to the look. Awesome.
>>28466
:V awesome

>>28466

>>28463
There's also one with a black bishop in the middle but I seem to have lost the picture. I'll be right back with one.

In the mean time: perry the platypus

>>28475
That sure does look like Sugru.

>>28475
Black bishop? Sounds fucking amazing.

I started riding just to get around, and have fun with it. I use it to get to and from classes every day. Recently I've been trying to do more tricks, mainly slides. Also: great conversation piece.

>>28486
Looks nice

Although, I have seen a nice red and black (probably plastic) chess set for sale at a local thrift shop, and I am now considering buying it and making such a necklace as that, but with some tigers eye and other semiprecious gems
Good idea y/n?

Still thinking about getting yours, though, just to have something from someone on 4chan :3

>>28497
That is awesome, and a great use of space.
And convenient if you get the midnight munchies.

Homemade cheese.
Halloumi, Camembert, Mozzarella, Ricotta and cream cheese.

>>28498
Since this is the /diy/ board I have no issues completely giving away how I made these. I bought a cheap wooden chess set, peeled off the cheap green felt that was under the pieces and replaced it with red. I just cut circles, soaked them in glue + water and stuck them on. The reason I soaked them is to prevent them from going all fluffy from wear. Drill a hole down the base with the smallest drill you can find, and done.
(Also I ended up repainting the black queen I used for my necklace because the original paintjob was terrible)

>>28512
Yeah, that's pretty much what I thought

But, depending on the asking price (if there even is one :V), I'll still take that nice bishop necklace off your hands c:

>>28353
care to explain how?

>>28381
daisychain.

>>28511
That's interesting. Your process anon?

>>28514
you can contact me on msn or AIM through the adress in the e-mail field and we'll work something out. I made these for fun and I want to be reasonable on the price.

are there blueprints for this anywhere?

ATIWAB is there anyway I could reach you in a non 4chan way?

>>28525
for which one?

>>28589
how about the one from the pic?

>>28563
That's just awesome.
Do you ever do comissions around your town? Just curious. I probably wouldn't be able to afford one meself but curious nonetheless.

How's the sound? Youtube, perhaps?

>>28623

>>28629

>>28633
and this too

>>28636

>>28643
the end.

>>28606
I don't actually. I wouldn't mind getting commissions, but tbh the thought also scares me. I hate overcharging for things, and my skills are not at a level where I can turn this sort of stuff out at a rate at which I could ask a reasonable price for my time. I'm also a bit of a perfectionist so I'm really afraid of selling something that isn't perfect.
The hoodie took me about a day to make because I was figuring everything out as I went, I could probably do it in half a day now, but that would still put it at about 60-70 euros if I paid myself what I would make at a shitty call center job for my time.

Maybe I should be less afraid of asking higher prices for my stuff and start on etsy or something, but idk, I don't know if I can beat the market.

>>28629
That's awesome. Did you add the wear to the blade?


Looks like I'm gonna have to get going, folks. I'll make another thread like this soon enough. Maybe I'll make a special pic for it.

Thanks for all the cool projects you guys posted.
Thanks to LucyGrey for her awesome clothing/jewelry dump.

Hopefully this thread sticks around for awhile. Can someone get this archived, at least?

Hey, what kind of synth is that in the background?

It's super easy. Either add the extra gelatin really gradually, or use more water so it dissolves easier, then cook it down. Don't burn it.

>>28875

>>28893

dept. of redundancy dept.

my bad

>>28224
OP do you have instructions for those goggles!!!

If memory serves, I used a regular 3oz pack of jell-o, and 3 packs of unflavored gelatin. Since there's 4 packs in a box, and the box is 1oz, I guess I used 0.75oz of gelatin. Used the directions for making normal jell-o, and added the extra gelatin after stiffing the jell-o into the hot water. Its hard to get it all to dissolve, though, so I recommend using more water (maybe 50% more?) and just cooking it down after everything is dissolved. Add the gelatin slowly, a little at a time.

er... stirring

Also, you can bury them in corn starch to make the exterior more firm and less sticky. But they'll have a matte finish, rather than a gloss finish if you do.

I've never done the corn starch thing, so I don't know how long to recommend leaving them in there. Overnight? I think it would be a good idea to starch them if you plan on giving them as a gift.

I want to make very crazy clown mask with a zipper mouth any suggestions?

Wow, Damn, this stuff is amazing, you guys are amazing. Making knifes and stuff. Thats something Iv always wanted to do. I would more than likely suck at it though.

Mmkay, so the one on the left is papier mache (the kind I make most). What I do is get a bunch of layers of tinfoil, and then conform it to my face. I put the tin mask/face mold down, with balled up newspaper inside to support it from the weight. then just papier mache it as usual, using small strips for good detail. then you paint it to your liking

>>29196 replying to

>>29177

i love this board...

I made this.
Brass and aluminum. Wrote a program and made the pieces in a cnc-lathe.

The cut out some aluminum sheets and screwed them together with a nut in between to space them apart.
Brushed the aluminum and done. Really simple, but i think it turned out pretty good.

I'm proud of my laptop cover. I sew clothes mostly, granted sewing a rectangle was much easier, but this is so much more satisfying because I use it nearly everyday.

I made these just the other day. I had some broken cuff links and some spare brass. A pipe cutter, soldering iron and a few minutes work and this is the result.

Not too bad. Thinking about making some more and selling them, what does /diy/ think? Worth a shot or not?

>>29306
Those are pretty damn cool. I would buy them if I had use for cufflinks.

>28834
Seriously, what were the materials used for them? those look severely badass

>>28830
>>28881
Pretty simple tbh.
Take some wire cutters and clip the top most part of the tabs and do an over under weave. You can solder it if you'd like, but they hold together pretty well on their own and you can always reuse/reconnect tabs that fall off or break.
One of the biggest pros to this is for LARPers or Cosplayers. It gives the same look as mail or scale armor, minus the annoying weight associated with it.

>>28842
>>28848
That's pretty cool.

I saw a thread on this yesterday, so I decided to start making my own =3
>mini terrariums

I recently learned how to cast resin models. So fun.

Thanks. The wand handle was barely thicker than a wooden pencil. Kind of a bitch to carve, and its the only one I ever did. It was a wedding gift.

>>29707
I've also considered doing this, what are you planning on putting inside?

>>29805
2 things
1) gonna do some moss and clovers
2) gonna get some micro Marimo balls and 2-3 Mountain Cloud Minnows
dunno how they'll turn out, but it'll be cheap at least!

you're right. It's absolutely impossible. It looks a little weird though.

>>28834
What did you make those out of?

>>30018
>>29893
thanks! The method varies based on what type of resin materials you buy, but basically you use an original to make a mold, then pour the materials and dye in varying amounts into the moldt.

i made a snake gun. am i cool yet

bonus points if you have seen my work before

Sketchbook cover test... little 6x8 regular black notebook

I was seeing if I could make embellished sketchbooks and how long they would take vs price I could sell them for. Never got around to making more... like ALL my projects.

(btw didnt finish the belt thing around it but its supposed to buckle)

>>30402
thats pretty fucking sweet

how to make?

>>28826

Goddamn that's a fine pipe

>>30402

The dragon eyes are just two glass beads (glass or metal only... plastic might melt when you cook the clay) and the head is made from sculpey III (its the non colored pink stuff that comes in a one pound block... it is more rigid than super sculpey and can hold texture and shape better)... then it was cooked and hardened, then painted, and then glued to the book.

The "leather belt" is craft foam with a buckle. I would probably use a real belt in the future, just because craft foam is a little fragile for how a sketchbook is supposed to be used.

The other embellishments other than the belt are just painted on.

The sketchbook is so pricey in itself, (10 or 15 bucks) so I'd be hard pressed to sell it for what it is worth in time and profit... I want to be able to sell them for like 20 or 25$ while making profit on my time and materials. Maybe one day ill buy some sketchbooks bulk or something and make it work.

Jus a simple project

>>30353
Haha, cool. I know an arty couple that has a bathroom painted that exact same color and a similar sink (not with pipes like that, though). Weird.

>>29720

>>28834
you are my heroes! is there any instructions on how to make goggles like that? please do tell me

>>31669
Best way is to get some cheap newyears eve safety glasses, add watchparts, nuts and bolts and other goodness of random materials that your house has to offer.

Then mask of the areas you want to remain clear with tape, then spraypaint the glasses.

After the paint is try, remove the tape, and give the goggles a onceover with some drybrushing.

Otherwise check the instructables website and search for goggles.

>>31672
niice thank you! i guess thats a start, then after ill just improvise if i wanna go nuts

made a mask

Made these for a married couple my fiance and I are friends with. Polymer clay outlet covers.

put lights and shit in it, probably gonna make some more crap soon, this board is very inspirational

more mask, me in the background

>>31658
hey another question, how did u make the light? from scraps? i know u can just wire a small bulb to a battery, is that what u did or did u buy it?

>>31472

U mad bro ?
Building a tube amp from scratch and starting with just a sheet of paper, pencil and tube curves and characteristics is not very hard, since tubes are just voltage controlled current sources. And B+ is not a problem. I have a STATRON regulated supply which delivers 1200V @ 600mA (thyristor operated).
I built more tube amps than you ever heard.
Please GTFO and die

>Never post post again.

>>31821
dohoho

sure is buttmad in here

>>31721
On the one you quoted I didn't use pins at all, the technique i used meant that the metal wasn't annealed and never got any softer than the final product, so it was too hard - just used epoxy on that one..

On the others, i drilled 6mm holes in the tang (metal handle area that's sandwiched by the wood if you didn't know) before hardening, and then used that as a guide to drill more 6mm holes in the wooden i was using for scales. Then it was just a case of lots of epoxy everywhere, 6mm brass pins through the holes, and shape handle to what you see in teh pics above.

>>31887
6mm for the main pins that is - on the chisel ground big thing I also used 4mm for extra strength at each end.

This is a love spoon I carved for my girlfriend last Christmas.

It's not perfect, but considering it's literally the first thing I ever carved, I'm pretty pleased with it.

I don't care, but feel free to dazzle us with all the masterpieces you've created then. :)

>>31964
Just ignore him ;3 keep up the good work :]

>>31963

It's a traditional Welsh thing. Men used to carve them and give them to women they were interested in, to prove to her family that he was capable and handy, so the more elaborate the better. They're not really functional, just pretty, but it came from people having to make their own spoons and things once upon a time.

>>28307
I came

>>31928

dont listen to them I think it looks sweet

>>31963

Here's one that I didn't carve that's a good example of how elaborate they can get. This one's way above my skillset, though. And here's the summary from Wikipedia:

>A Lovespoon is a wooden spoon decoratively carved that was traditionally presented as a gift of romantic intent. The spoon is normally decorated with symbols of love, and was intended to reflect the skill of the carver. Due to the intricate designs, lovespoons are no longer used as functioning spoons and are now decorative craft items.
