What Do You Make?

[Mighty AP]

Im so amazed at the level of talent you guys posses...........just incredible stuff!
I fabricate diggin tools when I can, this one i made fer my girlfriend. She wanted a small blade on it & she has used it quite a bit as you can see. I also like to modify computers, ive posted pics of my current one but here it is again. I cut the skull with a dremil, made a bunch of LED arrays & hot glued em all around the inside of the case. Attached a piece of glass to inside (plexi glass attracts dust) & frosted parts of the glass for effect.

Hello, Luck Be A Lady,
Wow, there is some good craftsmanship on the items posted here. You mentioned you like Hickory. We do too. That is why our kitchen cupboards are hickory. There is such nice contrasts in the grain.

Here is my latest project. Made from oak. Used as is for fake flowers, or put a glass in it for water and display real flowers. I make layered animals, planters for decks, and a few other things.

That is quite a beauty....I would love to have some pieces to decorate with, but living in an RV with 2 St. Bernards and a cat....not much room! LOL

Hey AP, that is so cool! I could use a handy shovel like that. The work you do on the PC's is really wild, what can ya do for a laptop? Just kidding.

My son and I have done some remodeling, if that counts. This is a kitchen we redone. We put in all new plumbing, oak cabinets, electrical (all new switches and wires all the way to the electric box, 110 and 220), insulation, drywall, flooring, window and appliances. Did the texturing and painting also. Since the pics a stainless stove and fridge have been installed, another cabinet over the fridge and the new drawer and door handles have been installed. The only thing we hired out was installing the granite countertops. We have our limits. We had fun though
PS........I'm the proud owner of a MightyAP Diggin' tool also!!!

 

[Mighty AP]

Awesome job Packer! Nice that can do this with your son............the kitchen in my tar paper shack could sure use your expertise. PM sent!

I paint and sketch also but don't have many pics of my work. Here are a few
The guy with the dog I painted while aboard an aircraft carrier in the Tonkin Gulf when I was 18.

Oh yeah, I do some woodwork also. I designed and built this shelf for what it's worth..

One more. This is a 4-foot by 5-foot mural that was started some years back. I was teaching my partner at work how to paint a little but haven't worked on it for a while. It is just a base coat of paint on the bufalo; it has to have all of the fur painted and he will be standing in wild oatgrass when it is done. Gotta finish it someday.
Carolina Digs paints some great stuff and has posted here.

Damn Packer, all that talent.........are you married? I can hook you up with my sister as long as you aint freaked out by prosthetics. Oh, she does have one eye that kinda looks off in another direction but she's a real nice girl!

I hope she dont see this..........she will KILL me!!!

But seriously......those are real good! Im most impressed by your abilities, keep it up & keep posting pics of your art/woodworking.

I make stuff like this:

Used to do it as a hobby, now I do it for a living. (It was more fun as a hobby )

You are VERY talented, I bet you sell your pieces as soon as they're finished!

Thank You

Actually, most everything is built-to-order......... (sold before it is built)

Neat utensils! What kind of wood are they made of?

Those are had from poplar, the 2 white pcs. are made from new wood, and the dark one is made from wood I salvaged from an old building that was build in1886. Thanks..........
