Hybrid of scrap metal (copper pipe and an old, unusable jewelers vice) with a plastic, 3D-printed bulb / shade I designed and printed (much to my extruder’s dismay; new one arriving tomorrow), and probably-not-code-ready electrical wiring. This one was by turns fascinating, heartbreaking, fury-inducing, and, ultimately, rewarding. On to the next thing, whatever that is.
Introducing Scrappy, a robot who watched nothing but Charlie Chaplin films and scrounged up the pieces to build himself the accoutrements - and mannerisms - of his hero. It’s my first major experiment into mechanical engineering with these figures (thank you, kid’s STEM mechanical engineering picture book); rather proud of this little guy.
The first of three daylilies I cobbled together from sheet metal, typewriter pieces, and springs from my mother-in-law’s recliner. Made these for my wife, niece, and sister-in-law, as it’s been a year since their mom’s death - and a passion for daylilies was the common bond between them. Designed and printed the vase as well.

Latest metalwork (or, further evidence that I’ve been playing a lot of survival horror games).
