Throwing Target

After a rough conference call, it is cathartic to throw knives and axes at my handy target made from scraps.

This isn't a fine finish type of project.  No sanding and the joints aren't all that tight, but then this wasn't built to stay pretty.

My first dog leash



Decided to make a paracord leash with a kumihimo disk













Grogus Everywhere!!!





I made some paracord Grogus.
 






No Step On Snek


For a long time I have wanted to paint a skateboard deck.  When I found one for next to nothing at a yard sale I snatched it up and proceeded to take six months to figure out what I would paint on it.  

I eventually found the no step on snek image online and decided to run with it.  

Most skateboards put their featured art on the bottom.  I decided to go a different route.  I painted the top and used the grip tape as part of the overall theme.  

As an aside, precision cutting grip tape is not easy or fun.  Quite a pain actually.

Mjolnir

 A friend asked me to make him a Mjolnir.  I was feeling like a smartass, so this is what I came up with.

Triaxial weave in black and tan with Turks head knots at the top and bottom.

My logo on one side and a couple P-Touch labels on the back with a wiseass version of the enchantment Odin put on the hammer in the first Thor movie.  

The base hammer is a Harbor Freight  2.5 pound Hand Drilling hammer.  

I liked it so much, I decided to keep it.  Maybe I'll make him a Mjolnir, but he can't have this one.
