I finished off a bunch of stuff over the weekend, most of it for an upcoming show & auction that my honey is putting on for Prescott Creeks, the local watershed protection group - it's all "upcycled" art, made by local artists from stuff pulled out of our local creeks. This started out as a rusty piece of steel about an inch wide, half an inch thick & about 18" long. And the walnut in the handle came from scraps I scavenged along with some odd bits of birdseye maple from the bar pictured a few entries above.

I was looking through this thread and realized Triangleforge never posted this here...

I'm pretty sure Rat put up some photos - including my favorite, the one of the knocker on his Ashville front door!

Completed another item on my honey do list yesterday. 

The stack of mags/catalogues was forever falling off the back of toilet.  Now they have a proper home.

I'm about 95% finished with this bathroom...

Brad (triangleforge) made a couple forged pieces for me a while back, which I incorporated into this project.

fantastic looking bathroom vindingo!  [thumbsup]

triangleforge, those pieces look great.
They have a vey industrial-type look to them.
Plus the rustic patina gives them that "woren-in" appearance.

Can we get some close ups?

These tiny items can't compare to the beauty of Vinny's wood-working or triangleforge's metal-art, but they have an appeal to me that's endured nearly my entire life.


These are "pictures" of molecules determined from X-ray diffraction.  The grey ellipsoids are carbon atoms, red = oxygen, blue = nitrogen and pink = boron.  Hydrogens and several other carbon atoms have been omitted to reveal the "business end" of the structures.  The grey lines connecting the atoms are bonds.  I designed their construction with certain torsion angles in mind.  Amongst other things, the structures are being "used" to uncover the details of how molecules conduct electricity.

Thanks!  I've always wanted a molecule-based sculpture for my home, but I'm sure I could not afford one.
