I built this deck for my inlaws (like a reverse dowry, yeah I'm a moron).
The handrail system has zero metal fasteners, it's pretty cool.
What have you built? Houses, tree forts, poop sculpture?

Yeah, the balusters are 3/4" copper. I built it a couple years ago when 3/4 copper was still like 30 cents a foot. It's like four times* that now.
*that's a guess, haven't priced it lately

nice deck dood, i dig the pegs.
I built these snowshoes a while back - a pair for me and a pair for my girlfriend. I was obstinate and didn't want to spend the money to buy some, so I spent about two weeks building these at work. They worked well in cold weather, but I found that in warm weather snow stuck to the steel deck and needed constant clearing, so they were abandoned after only a few uses.
The frame is aluminum tube, crampon is stainless with spray on rubber on top, and the deck is perforated stainless steel. You would think they weighed a lot, but their weight was the same as most modern snowshoes. now i dont know what to with them.
truth be told i didnt try that much stuff. i tried some different silicon products but they just wouldn't stay on. and i tried that spray on rubber on the bottom of the crampon but that didnt help. i suspect some thick wax would have worked, but it would rub off and need reapplied, in the end i figured it was just worth it to pay the hundred bucks for some real snowshoes. i guess the fun was the build.
I made this totally sweet gavel with almost no help from my seventh grade shop teacher. Note the slightly off-center attachment of the handle to the head and the careful finishing of the end of the head. Excellence - I settle for nothing less.
Steve...what is that? My first guess would be the world's most complicated answering machine.
...And the greatest ice must crumble when it's flower's time to grow.
from chaos comes order..
really - a couple of power strips, a cablemodem, wireless router, vonage box, phone, and a bunch of AC adaptors. that's it. you should have seen the mess it made before I decided to neat it up one day.
there are hinges underneath it - swings down so I could access the back.

I built an electronic drumset once, including the rack and pads themselves, that triggered drum samples from an Alesis D4 via its built in A/D converters. I wish I had a photo, it was sweet.
I'm waiting for the dude thats building a 40 foot catamaran.
In other news I helped to build a 6 foot tall model sculpture of a rolling battle droid from the star wars movies. It was auctioned off for charity. Also built a stand up, cream colored droid but it got jackzinated out of my front yard. Some faggot pulled up the 2 foot spikes that held it down and left a handicap parking sign in its place. If anyones seen it tell me where I so I sodomize the thief with said spike.
I belong to a cult that believes in wrecking leather jackets, dying themselves purple and demolishing 40 beer.
I resolve PC issues remotely. Need to get rid of all that pr0n you downloaded on your work laptop? Or did you just get a ton of viruses from searching for "geriatic midget sex"? Either way I can fix them. PM Me for maggot prices.

I'm diggin the pegged joinery and the railing on the deck. I wish I would have seen that before I built my parents deck ...
I'm a big fan of A&C design ... Some quick ones from me: Mahogany FLW-knock-off floor lamp, Asian style foot stool, Cherry G&G style nightstand.
Edit: uh, no metal fasteners in my stuff either ;-)

Who cares how the crow flies
that lamp is badass.
I'm impressed with the craftmanship. The decks, the furniture, and the peraphanalia.![]()
Fighting leads to killing, and killing gets to warring. And that was damn near the death of us all.
