Did you make something? Do you want the fleeting rush of endorphins that come with affirmation from strangers? Do you think what you made is neat? Share it here!
Paintings, movies, music, drawings, models, gardens, houses, snowmen, sandcastles - if you made it, you can post it.
RULES:
Some things you make are not to be shared. These include:
- Messes
- Children
- Biological... byproducts
- Bigotry
Do not be a jerk.
- No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, classism, or bigotry of any kind.
- Don't try to sell stuff unless people ask. You can post your Etsy (or similar) if someone prompts you. No spamming self-promotion.

Funnily enough we have all the equipment for in house lost wax casting, including a homemade centrifuge (housed in a trashcan), and the ONE thing keeping that off the table currently is the fancy industrial furnace and it’s cheap, faulty thermostat. It’s one of the newest machines in the store and simultaneously the least functional.
We’ve got an engraver from the 40s, hand tools from the 30s, and a ring bender that I can’t get a date on, but it’s at least 100 years old. We’ve got jury-rigged setups that have outlived the man who hastily constructed them, meanwhile the BRAND NEW, PRODUCTION FURNACE is inoperable.
/rant lmao
Hahaha, it's always something. Hope it gets sorted soon.
Now you have to show some pics of your shop and some more of your work!
Oh darn, guess I gotta! hahaha
