Quite Frankly Builds

Made this fairy door for an Xmas gift! There's a secret inner world only accessed with a key! The rest of the door opens without the key using the doorknob! Takes a 9v battery.

I'm strongly considering selling some on etsy for around $150 considering the technicality, designing, and hours put in. Let me know if that's something y'all are interested in!

Decided to post these progress pics and semi-current pics. I've gotta save up for casting materials. Also I went ahead and told my partner about it and they have it set up on their dresser while I save ☺️, but now I can post pics 😁

Here's an update on the sculpture I'm working on. I just got the constellation PCBs in and once I get it the extra parts soldered I'll post a pic of that!

A wishing tree! Found the branch in my yard and shaped it a little bit. Bought the wire at joanns. Broke a crystal in smaller pieces and wrapped them in the wire. Only took a couple of hours but man my hands hurt afterwards haha.

Is there an anime/video game/other weapon or item you haven't seen made yet that you'd like to see? Comment below and maybe I'll put it on the list!

I've been working on a new project recently as a gift. Aquarius! It's really invigorated my motivation to make things again! Once I finish smoothing and seal it, I'll be in the last phase which is the casting and electric phase.

I started with a clay model to look at and compare while carving.
I used a piece of pressure treated lumber because it's what I had laying around haha, but honestly anyone who's worked with pine knows that the grain is such a pain to carve with.
I used some poplar boards glued together and turned them on the lathe for the base.

I plan on making more of these to sell on etsy if anyone is interested for themselves or an aquarius you know that likes zodiac, or just as a centerpiece!
