Crafty Basterds -- The Stuff I made thread

I wouldn't sweat it; if anyone insists that Adam and Eve were driven from the garden from left to right and only an apostate would infer the opposite, you've just identified someone not to invite to your next party.

At the same time, I definitely feel your pain - I would probably need both hands to count the number of times I've forged something to fit into a very specific place, only to discover that I've done it in mirror image & there's nothing to be done but throw that one in the scrap bin and start over.

This week I took a taxidermy class for reasons I frankly don't even recall.  Anyway, here is my mouse:



The wires extending from his legs/arms will be clipped in a day or two when he has "stiffened" up.  I'm also thinking of fashioning an old-school leather helmet for the little guy.

[Grampa]

his name has to be Ed.

his name has to be Ed.

why?  I had been calling him Herman.

[Buckethead]

Because he's on a Norton, and BP likes to think he's Tyler Durden.

[Grampa]

actually is becase it resembles famed white-haired republican Ed Meese.


The Norton part is inconsequential.

A couple of months back, I had a piece sell for an OK price in a charity auction; unfortunately, I really wasn't done with it when it had to go out on the block. I asked the buyer if I could get it back to work on some of the bits that I didn't particularly like and he agreed.

After a couple of hours work yesterday, "Moto Goosey" was at least closer to what I was picturing when I started messing around with the Honda three-wheeler gas tank, and the buyer was very happy with the revisions.

If you've filled that tank with sand, it's a faithful rendition.

I LOVE IT!  ....but I think you should call him Ralph.

It's Ralph S. Mouse!
