    Windcalmer: There's a whole market of tech-geeks that would pay iPod money for that nintendo MP3 player. It's a million dollar idea if you want it to be. Too cool.

    Default Other Hobby

    I started carving birds a few years ago as a hobby and this is one that makes me proud. Apparently I'm not allowed to sell it and our two adult boys, or the grandchildren, will have to fight over it some day. It took about 400 hours and every feather is handcarved.

    Hmm, made some gold plated dice a medallion for a costume piece for a friend, a lot of chainmail, and many random odds and ends needed for props (bees on a stick anyone?)

    Sadly I have no pictures of any of them.

    I made and sold dreamcatchers, also taught a couple of night classes on making them.

    Since I now have to use a walking stick I've started dabbling in making my own. I've made 2 so far, one with a wooden gear shift knob for the grip and one that looks like a peace pipe. It has a clay pipe for the griip and is wrapped in rabbit fur with feathers near the top of the cane. I have yet to make any pics of them though.

    I'm currently mulling over the logistics for a fishing rod cane at the moment.

    I've done some stonecarving. Don't have any picters (I'm at work) but maybe I'll post later.

    One of the things I made is the handle for my shaving brush. Handcarved it out of soapstone.

    It was damn hard as well since it had some carbon particles in it that made filing etc extremely difficult.

    I'll have to take a picture of the knife I forged around '81. Forge welded out of a piece of gun barrel, then soldered pommel and guard and finally epoxied in a kingwood grip. Fellow SCA types were all puzzled on how I got the wood in there. Heh, it's called grain matching dudes.
