Let's brainstorn.. My chess / checkers set

Image
 I have been pondering the design. Well idea of making my own style of a chess set.      The first is... I will make my own way and style. Because, I love creating new things and making my own work. There is nothing written that say "A chess set only can be made one way." Yes there is themes that I could find. There is general piece ideas. I have seen some magical sort of things. Now, would my own way and style be reinventing the game. I don't know, it would depend on what I come up with. It would also depend on your definition of "reinventing."  Of course, before I can get that far I need to figure out some fundamentals of the project. The first is what am I making. The needed pieces:      2 sets; 1 king, 1 queen, 2 bishops, 2 knights, 2 rooks.      The next of course is the board itself. Which of course needs 8x8 squares with a boarder.  The project size: Do I use the common measurements found online. Or do I make it my own s...

Use your tools

Image
  I posted a video of trying to create an illusion of sorts. The idea is hard to explain. With the difficulties im still trying to figure out how to make it possible. Which means alot of trial and error.  The most important part is. Being patient, exploring options, learning and trying. Of course, not give up. Because challenge your creativity is a marathon not a sprint.

Can fashion and wood go together? (Video)

Image
 I have made one bow tie and loved it. This is number 2. I took some time recently to make the blank shapes for more bow ties in the future. Considering these are way easier to cut with a machine then by hand. Considering I have made collections of necklace pendants. The pendants needed another collection of bow ties.  This design was requested by my nephew for his birthday. I wonder what other designs I will come up with.

I took a closer look at burrs under a micrscope

Image
 Had some fun putting the burrs under my microscope and looking at the fine details. Its interesting to see how the burrs are made differently. It shows there are similar but differences between burrs. This first picture shows that tops might be similar however, the one on the right has a different angle. The next two shows that sometimes the tops are flat and will not cut. And sometimes they have the ability to cut. Tip: the top is for smoothing the surface. Its not for primary cutting. The edge cuts better. Diamond bits are good for fine details. They come in different grits. I wish I knew that sooner. More videos and blogs coming soon. They will be tips / tricks, and excision examples. youtube video

Learning to find (video)

Image
  When I originally tried to edit this video it was dull boring and difficult. I went a different way and made a project breakdown instead.  Today... well yesterday was a day of bravery. I used the material to explore the powers of editing and styles. I dont know exactly how it will do or if people will like it. But thats the least of my worries. I had my fun in the editing process.
