What Do You Make?

[SoKyHunter]

I'm a pretty handy guy, but pretty sure the best thing I can make is a bed.

I re-surface/polish dobro bars/guitar slides for folks across the USA...

These are solid metal, i.e. non/plated usually of a stainless alloy..

This first picture was "flipped" to make the reflection read proper..

This is the reflection of a dime, in the end of a slide that I polished..

I also sandblast some surfaces for better gripp...

My whole process is USA made, grits, rouge, baldor motors, wheels, sander belts, and the slides as well, EVERY BIT OF IT... I don't make them, I make them better.. LOL..


I also make stuff out of recycled wood.. i.e. my bar...Made from some bowling alley lane, a bunch of pallet wood... I also made the the rolling work bench shown.. I bought the bowling alley to make the work bench, I used the rest of it on the bar in a different place ten years later..

I make/work on some other stuff also...

Absolutely amazing work! Thanks for posting.

I make various and sundry things, like:

3: giant wooden penny banks
4: white belts into black belts, (me on the right, 2nd Dan, my friend and senior master Anthony Boyle in the middle, and my daughter Faith on the left), and I even make:
5: those metal Social Security cards you used to be able to order out of the back of magazines.
6 & 7: about completely finished with a '41 Chevy Special Deluxe

As well as decks and woodworking, wood turnings and turned pens from wood or aluminum, websites (I have a few hundred of those), and make programs for Android, iOS and Win8 mobile phones, devices and tablets.

And I'm told I make:
8 & 9 & 10: Entirely too much LDL cholesterol and I make myself into a very bad patient.

I make decals, signs, banners. I also make photographs, holes in paper "with fragile paper punching equipment -read Traditional Pistol shooter"", and pinewood derby cars.

Well this isn't made as much as built, it's the newest addition to the stable.

is that a nitrous line I see there? If so, that's cheating! (unless of course it's being used to spool a massive turbo, then it's ok)

Whenever we have a party, I get to make a melon carving...

PS- I know the bat is inaccurate. I zoned out while making it and carved the left side of the body as a mirror image of the right...

I like to take pictures. People, places, nature,...

Here is a recent one of my grandkids.

This is just one of my other hobbies.

My leather work for family, friends and myself. I don't have enough time to do this as a business. I stay months behind all the time.

Thanks Ice but I'm just a novice. I have learned much from some very excellent leather craftsmen.
