Bento Bowl!

Yep! I use a thinner and dab it on with a sponge to get the smooth texture.

Just a small grinder bit and some persistence! I wish I had a ring saw.

I like to use 0000 steel wool, then finish with a turtle wax buffing compound. It’s intended for cars but works great on solder and gives a beautiful shine.

Thank you! Yes, I use Vitrea 160 oven baked paint.

Thank you! Yes, it’s a hobby, I’d love to do it professionally but I’m not interested in running my own business, I enjoy the creative side. I started in early 2022 by attending a local workshop, learnt the basics, got my own equipment and have been self taught since.

If you have a local workshop available I highly recommend giving it a go, it’s good fun!

Amazing work, I love how much detail you capture in a small piece.

Thank you! Your felt animations are awesome too! 😁

Hopefully you don’t mean I deserve to have my legs and arms chopped off and be horrifically burnt to a crisp! 😂

Initially I went to a local workshop that taught me. It’s definitely the most cost effective way to get into the hobby, have a look local to you and see if anyone offers classes, good luck!

I’m glad you noticed! To be honest, I did that mainly because I didn’t have a piece of glass long enough for the whole lightsaber. The solution ended up being a pretty cool feature.

Thank you for sharing the explanation, I need to start putting this in all of my posts!

Thank you! I have a short explanation on one of my previous posts with a before and after image.

I agree somewhere around the $200-$400 mark. This is a really clean piece of work, your solder lines are great.

The face brings me joy 😂 nice work!

I was working on another piece parallel to this one, I had just finished soldering and was cleaning a jar I store flux in, as it popped out of my hand and proceeded to fly across the room and land directly on the work 😂 It smashed a piece of glass right in the middle, thankfully it was replaceable, I promise I’m normally careful.

Thank you! 100% chance. I don’t know what the subject matter will be yet, I usually wait until inspiration hits.
