Thor's gladiator swords by @garret.slezak.

CLICK HERE to watch @garret.slezak's build video on YouTube.

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

The Art of Geek Challenge is a monthly, just for fun, geek-themed maker challenge inspired by movies, tv shows, comic books and more. June's theme: Jurassic Park June's theme for the Art of Geek Challenge was Jurassic Park coinciding with the release of Jurassic Park: Fallen Kingdom.

My official entry for June 2018’s Jurassic Park themed @artofgeekchallenge is a 4’ by 3’ fossilized Tyrannosaurus skull. It’s hand carved from 3/4” Birch plywood.

Marvel's The Avengers Art of Geek Challenge | April 2018

April's Theme: Marvel's Avengers April's theme for the Art of Geek Challenge was Marvel's The Avengers. Participants had the entire month of April to create something inspired by the Marvel Avengers universe. Check out the hashtag #aogavengers to view all the Instagram posts for April's challenge. First Place: Baby Groot carving by @beardedcrabworkshop . Groot is complete! For my second carving (sculpture?) ever, I think it’s a decent representation of the subject. The last picture shows a side by side of the movie still and what I ended up with. I think I’m taking some time off from the pop art stuff and going back to some practical craft items for a little while, but don’t worry, my brain won’t be satisfied with cutting boards for very long! #wood #woodworking #groot #iamgroot #babygroot #makersgonnamake #makersmovement #maker #geek #geekculture #geekart #sculpture #aogavengers #artofgeekchallenge #marvel #marvelcomics #avengersinfinitywar #a

Blaster Build-Off Art of Geek Challenge | May 2018

- June 09, 2018

May's Theme: Blaster Build-Off May's theme for the Art of Geek Challenge was Blaster Build-Off in honor of the release of Solo: A Star Wars Story. Participants had the entire month of May to create something inspired by the blasters from the Star Wars universe. Check out the hashtag #aogblaster to view all the Instagram posts for May's challenge. First Place: Greedo and Han's blasters frozen in carbonite by @beardedcrabworkshop . Art of Geek Challenge Official Entry for May: Star Wars Blasters. What you see here is Greedo and Han Solo’s blasters frozen in Carbonite. They are designed to be the size of the original props. I always wondered what happened to Han’s blaster after Darth Vader yanked it out of his hand. My thought is that Boba Fett got Greedo’s gun while he was on Tatooine and then froze it with Han’s gun as a test before they used the machine on Han. Boba hung it in his ship as a little joke that only he was in on. I hand carved these bl
