I found a total of zero anvils in Lawrence, but an antique dealer guy sold me this chunk of railroad for ten bucks shrug

I hate when they make jewelry on How It’s Made! Gluing stones into settings? Disgusting!!! It’s sacrilege! They flood solder all over pieces and just grind the crap out of it! Aaaaugh!!!!!!

So… I made a styrofoam mask for my casting class. There were some issues… The cup (into which the metal is poured on its way to burn out the foam) floated up, and the liquid aluminum filled that void instead of flowing into the horns. Another problem with the horns (and I saw this one coming) is that they were so goddamn thick! The problem with thick places is that metal stays liquid there for longer than thinner places. When the thinner places cool, the metal shrinks, and liquid metal can flow into those voids (which is usually the plan…). This time, the combination of those two factors made a loooot of porosity. So much of this casting is so thin that the sand blaster punched holes in it… But it’s cool :) this is only my first big casting

What a stupid hour and a half of “I can’t wake up from this series of bad/being-chased” dreams. It was cool for the thirty seconds I knew I was dreaming, and I could change whatever I wanted, but after that I was too busy being disturbed by nightmare shit like cat people and people robbing me and shooting me to have any fun.

Supposed to be designing a box for (duh) my design class. I was okay with the first idea (left), but professor-lady said we need at least three different models. Thus, box B was born! With super torquing action! And now I’m as in love with it as I have ever been in love with a cardboard box… how do I make a third box that doesn’t look like I’m just bullshitting to have a third box? Honestly try to make another interesting one? HA! No thank you, Carol-Ann; my second box is my favorite ~.o

You can’t walk around assuming the things you know are the ONLY things…
That makes you look like a huge dick, even in the realm of geeks and nerds ~.~

Reblog this if you’d hang out with your Tumblr friends if you ever met them in real life.
REBLOG IF YOU WOULD MEET THEM AT THE AIRPORT GATE AND RUN AT EACH OTHER IN SLOW MOTION, ARMS WIDE OPEN WHILE “AT LAST” PLAYS OVER THE PA SYSTEM
You know I love you guys, right? ;)
