So here is our official entry to this month’s @artofgeekchallenge. We found an awesome piece of artwork that captured one of our favourite scenes in the first movie perfectly, so we recreated it as a piece of wall art. We wanted to experiment with this one so tried some new techniques that we never have before. The T-Rex skull was cut individually on the scrollsaw and then scorched using a blowtorch. This came out better than we expected and we love the grain pattern showing through. The car was carved with a 3mm router bit freehand using a special jig that we made just for this project. We then sprayed it black and sanded off the excess. The whole thing is mounted on a pallet wood background and we kept the weathered look to match that of the artwork. We then added a simple hardwood frame and it was done. We are really proud of this video and think our editing skills are getting better so, as always, we welcome feedback! Good luck to all the entries - there is some ridiculously awesome stuff on this feed! #aogdino 🦖 . . . . . #brothersmake #woodworking #workshop #dowoodworking #makermovement #makestuff #igwoodworkingcommunity #jurassicpark #jurassicworld #fallenkingdom #wallart #walldecor #dinosaurtheme #shosugiban #blowtorch #woodburning #scorched #torchedwood #palletwood #palletwoodprojects #upcycling #reclaimedmaterials #voiceover #narration #trex #trexskull

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

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
