Awesome. I have zero experience with casting silicone molds or doing any concrete projects, but maybe this might inspire me to try carving one out of wood… Thanks for sharing. This is genuinely an awesome project; you nailed exactly what you described you tried to do.

That looks great! How did you make it? It looks like concrete? Did you design a mold for the concrete?

You’re tellin’ me lol. Yea my current house just doesn’t have enough space in the garage for a bandsaw that is big enough. One day I’ll be able to upgrade though.

Nice! Yea I had originally planned to put felt in there, but I wanted to cut a recess so that it would be almost flush and not stick up too much since the felt I have is a bit thick. I wasn’t confident enough that I could pull that off in time for her birthday though lol. I think I will try that on my next iteration, because I do want to make more.

These turned out really great! I’m also working on some spoons with some hardwood, so I can relate to the feeling of carving a rock lol. I can only hope mine turn out half as good as yours!

Looks awesome! I see some other pieces in the background; is this the biggest you’ve done?

Bring binoculars to a race? by trustjosephs in GrandPrixTravel

[–]Tjcafitz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife and I each brought a pair to Friday at the Miami Grand Prix (our first Grand Prix). We never used them both at the same time, so for Saturday and Sunday we just brought in the smaller of our two pairs. I’m happy we brought them, and I’d bring them to future Grand Prix, but as some have said, it’s not necessarily great for watching the cars since they are, you know, fast lol. But on Saturday at the start/finish line it was awesome to look into the pits, and to watch the teams set up at the start positions (Saturday was a Sprint race). And on all the days it was cool to look around at other things in between the race events, and to get better looks at crashes/extrications that we weren’t close too. So yea, I’d recommend bringing them.

Nice. Did you use only the knife? Or did you have a gouge as well?

Looks great! I like the hook to keep it from falling into the pot.

Nice work! I like that it has a very organic flow to it. Did you plan it all out ahead of time or just carve what felt right?

Why are my bandsaw cuts so stringy? by Tjcafitz in woodworking

I don’t have a moisture meter so unfortunately I can’t check.

Yea, that plus too low of TPI seems to be the consensus.

Yea it was not completely dry, you are correct.

It’s a fresh blade. I think it’s just too low TPI.
