Well, here it is. My official submission post for the #aogstarwars challenge for December. It's a replica of Rey's Lightsaber (aka Skywalker's Lightsaber) complete with a detachable blade that glows in the dark! Check out my YouTube Channel on how I built it! (Link in bio) Thank you so much for the support and excitement shown while I was building it. I'm looking forward to all the fun projects I want to make in 2018.

This is the Apprentice’s gift from the #cutthroatwoodworks shop this Christmas. The @shapeoko is a major blessing to our family. As is requisite with blessings, major lessons and humility are sure to follow. Here are a few lessons in humility that I’ve learned: 1. Feedrates are not for my meager mind to mess with - too fast = major fuzzies and more work. Probably won’t guess at that again. 2. Pine is porous. More porous than pumice so it feels. Even with clear coat protection paint bleeds through the grain. Probably won’t do that again 3. Sanding spray paint is a mess. And boy can it clog the paper. Even 24 hours after spraying and drying. Probably won’t do that again. 4. Never give up. Never never give up. No matter how frustrating things are or steep the learning curve seems to be there are lessons hidden therein. Now I’ll probably find smarter, more informed and more experienced resources to move forward. Probably? I’ll definitely do that! 5. Stay on target! .......... #stateoftheshopsaturday #stateoftheshopsaturdayonasunday #nevergiveup #shapeoko3xxl #carbidecreate #carbidemotion #cncmachining #stayontarget #starwars #xwing #theregoesa100packofsandpaper #orangeboogers #santashelperisadufus #learningtospeakcncishard #aogstarwars

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

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
