Tbh i feel like the ideal venue for that stuff is a merch booth at a metal show. Figure out who organizes those in your town and show them those pictures and clean the gently caress up

So my daughter and I were browsing the craft book section of Barnes and Noble and came across the goofiest book I've ever seen: A book about how to knit birds: https://www.amazon.com/Carlos-Field-Guide-Knitted-Birds/dp/1570768234 We left the store but I ended up going back and getting it because I like birds and I guess I could learn how to knit in the process. Took a one hour lesson from a woman who runs a yarn shop in town and dove right into knitting in the round and came out with this bad rear end janky bird. (you can tell he is badass because of the three X's on the chest) All in all, took about 15-20 hours of knitting because I'm slow as piss and also because this book wants you to do all sorts of weird poo poo I had to constantly google. Then I had to learn to crochet to do the beak... This is on top of the month of trial and error in basic knitting techniques and constantly going back to the yarn shop to ask the woman if I was loving it up.  I've done all sorts of arts and crafts over the years, but knitting has definitely been the hardest thing I've ever done.

First of all, that bird is cool and that's incredible for a first project. Second, knitting gets way weirder, you are at the very tippy-top ice cube on the glacier of weirdness

I put together my hand me down table saw and just kinda goofed around with my miter saw, table saw, and Kreg jig to tool around and get ready to make some shelves next week. It makes my brain feel real good.

Finished a project yesterday, putting a drop-leaf desk in the guesthouse which my wife is now using as a full-time WFH office. I had wanted to do it for a while, but needed to solve how to finish the edge of the maple plywood which kept stalling me. Then I got a woodworker's source flyer with a sale on hard maple so I bit. Got 3 boards 9' long that all ended up at just about 8" wide after straightening both sides. Glued em up last weekend Spend the week putting layers of wipe-on poly on them while I installed the brackets  I thought my number of hinges and leaf supports was overkill but I like how solid it turned out-- I don't think I would have liked the result going with less, the rockler reviews of the hinges mentioned "a little play" and that's not an understatement.  Extended it's just about 24" deep  And if I need to drop the murphy bed on the opposite wall, it becomes a tidy little floating shelf ~15" deep.  Pretty happy with how it turned out.

I have had a tentative success with a little home brew project Managed to brew up a 5.25% Abv ginger beer that is pasturised and a bit fizzy It's a touch too sweet, like super low fizzy liqueur, but enjoyable enough to work through over a few weeks,(soda water?) and cheap enough to give it a second crack I've also sewn the garden with 20 ginger roots to eliminate the most expensive ingredient in a few months This is a bit of a long term project to make a decent drinkable, alcoholic beverage recipe and to scale up and do a large enough batch to not have to buy beers for the better part of a year

You can also homebrew Brigalow concentrate in a can, they have Apple Cider and Ginger Beer mixes. The cider is dry as gently caress and the ginger beer isn't very strong, but they're cheap, wet, and alcoholic.

Thank you! I waffled about adding lights but I think it worked out pretty well. It forced me to learn a couple of new things and ultimately adds a lot of d r a m a to the appearance.

Spent a few days during Christmas making a sort of sculpture. Face is paper. Big wires are a broken audio cable mixed with some rubber bands I bought in a craft store. Robot eye is an old Soviet lense I bought on eBay years ago but arrived broken. Flesh eye is a wooden ball I made years ago for when I made a "biblically accurate Angel" for a video. Teeth are teeth.

Finally finished out some built-in bunk beds for the family river house. The rails still need staining, but my mom's been taking care of that. The bottom rails and the ladder are removable, so that my brother can keep his young kids (2 and 5) from climbing up when they shouldn't, and older kids who don't need the bottom rail can get in and out of the bottom bunk easier.  The niche they're built into is a non-standard mattress size 30"x72", but it'll still work great for kids and shorter adults.

Couldn't find a painting thread but in the last couple months I took some local fun classes & it's been pretty great  got a starter paint kit, some brushes & a 6 pack of canvases (14"x14"), so far here's what I've made for me & some friends/family    (work in progress) Lately I've been leaning toward astronomy stuff, I'm planning to do a painting of this awesome ISS moon photo next: LifeSunDeath posted:
Dunno what it is but something about painting is so relaxing & satisfying

I'm expecting painting and drawing threads to be in the creative convention subforum, if you're still looking. Not that you're not welcome here. I like the black hole.

I made some rectangles on the living room wall. Also painted, got a new TV, and moved some stuff around: Before, with bad lighting, paint samples on the wall, and various junk piled against the wall:  After, on a sunny day, cleanup still pending but better organized:
