Projects I've [mostly] completed:

• A rope-making device — wood with metal rods

Projects I'm working on:

• A marlinspike that fits on my key-ring — steel, hot forged
• A set of rectangular objects, each with a word on it, denoting how that object was made (all of them should be in the same font size, for consistency):
  • "chisel" — letters hand-carved into wood. Finish by staining the top surface, and leave the chiselled area unstained for contrast.
  • "hand sewing" — letters that have been cut ouf of a contrasting fabric color, and hand-stitched onto a background piece of fabric
  • "hot forging" — ??? How do you do lettering with blacksmithing?
  • "laser cutter" — clear plastic sheet, with the letters being negative space
  • "vinyl cutter" — letters in negative space, in cut vinyl
  • "3D printer" — not flat... sort of an isometric proejction, with one word on the upper side of the cube, and the other word on the lower side of the cube
  • "vacuum forming" — thin plastic that has been vacuum formed to specific letters, on a mold of the letters (mold done in elastomer?)
  • "milling" — a block of aluminium, with the letters cut 1/4" deep with the milling machine
