What have you made lately?

Where are you flying Lefty? We're gonna be in Foster City
 
Built a tall bar table for the lady with wine rack/glass holder & shelf. Also used a big piece of Jadeite I found down in Big Sur to weight the base!

Also redid the drywall in the garage and moved an outlet to above bench height for easier access & hung a shelf.

Lastly used our mill/lathe to build a threaded swivel stud mount I could epoxy into the .22 plinker so I could mount a sling & bipod securely and not worry about it wiggling around in the synthetic stock.

I've been playing with Arduino again. Mostly experimenting with various executions leading towards a bigger project, but in the meantime I've made a programmable automated shutter release, and the beginnings of a remote flash trigger - the latter needs an optoisolator to protect the circuits from the voltage in the flash though.
 
I'm no good at making things but I did put together a pretty sweet fish tank at work.
 
Bunch of busy people on the barfs. This is pretty rad. It's good to know makers.

Handy I am not, but dayum, you make some fine looking knives! :thumbup

Hobby or profession?
 
Those knives are beautiful.

I'm sandbagging here, but this kinda falls under the "what I built lately:"

Our new house has a bar. The bar, unfortunately, did not have any good place for storing bottles. Time to build a shelf.

Instructables is a really lovely website to get how-tos on projects , learn how to solve problems you're having with a build, or just get ideas on things you can build.
 
Built this for my nieces 2nd bday. Of course over built it with 2x6s so y brother inlaw and I can use it.

Btw Dubbs...Rockler has Murphy bed kits if you're still thinking of building one. Hardware and plans are like $320.

That was a fast quote! I've seen that kit. Be easily $1000 with wood/materials for the cabinet and mattress. Be fun to build though.
 
This.

I didn't MAKE it, but I built it. I did some minor fabrication to make sure the lights and such went on, I designed the headlight bracket. I redesigned and rebuilt the electrical system; including rewinding the stator myself.
 
Ran my 2nd batch through the tumbler I made. This time was around 350 piece of 308. Making the tumbler was fun and a pain all at once. Debating about making another with refinements, we'll see.

Only my 3rd time welding and first two were screw around jobs. Impressed my dad who's welder I had to borrow. Of course now I want a welding because I have all these projects that require welding.....love how a guy's mind works :laughing

1725rpm 1/4hp motor
1.25 box tubing
1/2 diameter rods
4.5 and 1.5 pulleys
The drum 22" of 6" diameter SDR 35 pipe with a 6" cap, 6-4 reducer and cap.
Inside are baffles to throw the brass, water, soap, lemishine and 10lbs of stainless steel pellets around.
Ran it for 1.5 hours and bras is spotless including primer pockets.

Only issue is my drum wants to walk because it's not 100% square and the rods arent true. I opted for cheap steel. So have a piece of hose zip tied prevent it from walking to the right.

Co-worker and I built me this sweet easel with counterweights. I airbrush and got tired of not having a good space to paint :)

The bottom pic shows the drawers of the taboret shelf extended and the stainless dump bucket I scored from Bed Bath and Beyond :)

a couple of acrylic portrait sketches using a palette knife and no brush. Just fucking around, no real theme or reason behind them other than the fun of painting
