Thor Art of Geek Challenge | October 2017

The Art of Geek Challenge is a monthly, just for fun, geek-themed maker challenge inspired by movies, tv shows, comic books and more. 

October's Theme: Thor

October's theme for the Art of Geek Challenge was Thor coinciding with the new release of Thor Ragnarok.  Participants had the entire month of October to create something inspired by the Thor universe.

Third Place:

Thor's gladiator swords by @garret.slezak.

Official entry shot of my Thor Dueling Swords for the #aogthor challenge! Barely squeezed this out in time. Finalized the plaque today but it turned out great (more pics to come) The swords are Thors weapons to fight Hulk in the Gladiator ring in the new Ragnarok movie. Probably my favorite detail of these is the spalting along the blade that looks like lightning, truly fitting for the God of Thunder. Keep an eye out for my YouTube video on how I built these coming out soon. . . . . . #artofgeekchallenge #thor #ragnarok #godofthunder #thorragnarok #thorswords #marvel #geek #avengers #geekmaking #sword #woodensword #woodworking #woodwork #woodworker #carpentry #woodlife #ilovewhatido #sawdust #wood #maker #create #make #handmade #build #diy #propmaking #replica #makersgonnamake
