I was helping my friend make copies of his sculpt and thought it'd be a great time to try out 3D printing a matrix mold jacket!

I helped my neighbor Todd out with a really cool project! This is my first 3D printed matrix mold and I'm stoked to use this process in the future. #3dprinting #matrixmold

I bought this resin kit years ago from The Crafsman, sculpted by CrafsSon! I love the Mail Snail, it looks great next to my Free Range Chicken!

It takes a lot to keep my knurling urges in check.

I didn't own a tiny hammer so I made one, using metal scraps, on my lathe! I love knurl patterns and I want to add them to everything! #knurling

A fiberglass rod can add tons of structure to foam prop handles! #foamsmith

I made an axe from Avowed! You have to wet the EVA foam with water and then the epoxy clay sticks really well. The clay cures rigid, so you lose the foam flexibility, but I didn't need that for this build.

I wanted to give you a quick tour of my childhood basement hobby shop, and the kind of projects, where I found my love of making.

I used stamp ink to make custom printed fabric and it worked great! I 3D modeled the stamp with registration on the edges so I could line up the repeated pattern. #bg3 #baldursgate3

Here's how I make patterns for bracers! When you only have one arm free, it sure helps to have a partner nearby. Thanks, Britt! #bg3 #baldursgate3 #cosplay

I made Gale's Mystra earring from Baldur's Gate 3 but my ears aren't pierced! Luckily clip on earrings exist. #baldursgate3 #bg3

I got those too and I ended up just making mine from scratch. 😂

When I was 12 years old my family got to see two World Cup matches in NYC. Tickets were $50 apiece.

When chatting about the 3D Printing legislation, keep it simple and to the point: It spends millions of taxpayer dollars, year after year, trying to build software that experts say can't actually be built, and scans your private data as well. Start there. The fundamentals that we can all connect on

Here's how I make metallic-looking prosthetics without paint! #cyberpunk

I needed a quick glove for a Cyberpunk costume, so I used zip ties! We also use our leather hole punch for way more than leather, the poor thing, haha

This is the jacket I found for a quick, Cyberpunk-style costume I made for a convention. Leather paints work great on vinyl and so does contact cement!

We’re zipping through Astoria, and we had to swing by this place. #shortcircuit

Years ago, when the Cyberpunk 2077 trailer came out, I made a custom necklace to wear with a cyberpunk-style costume. This totally justifies my scrap hoarding 😆

Dry brushing on paint helps add highlights to the raised up bits. Then, going over the crevices with a weathering pass really makes the contrast pop!

For attaching EVA foam pieces together, I usually use contact cement. If the foam pieces are tiny, I'll use super glue (cyanoacrylate) which has to be held in place for a few seconds. #foamsmith
