these are the things I make when I should be doing something productive.
A couple of clocks.. one needs hands, the other needs the frame and clock.
and a couple of stands I was trying out. Not sure about the stands, they
limit the pen length to 5". And I wish I could hide the stand part better.
Still working on it..

Charlie those are coool!!! :cool: I really love those clocks!! LOL Now more reasons for me to be jealous!!! :tongue::curse::biggrin:

On the pen stands ...What if you played with image of the moon man so that it WAS the pen holder? (I.E. the bridge of his nose could cradle one pen, the lip another, his chin maybe a third?) Then maybe you wouldn't need the clear holder at all?? :confused:

Just a thought!

I thought the same thing.. and tried playing around with it, but didn't find
a way to do it that didn't involve a ski slope for a nose..
 
Very nice work Charlie! You're having more fun than me:biggrin: That moon is a match for my tattoo. I like the clear one. The wood clock is REALLY cool. Thanks for sharing your work with us. Look forward to seeing more of this.
 
not a die hard trekker, but I enjoy it. One of the cast members put a photo on
her FB page and I snagged it and engraved it on plywood. The other clock was
made up in photoshop.. just kept adding numbers, rotating them and building
it out from the center. Then it was cut out of 1/8" baltic birch ply and put on
a masonite backing. Might try it on a mirror back, not sure. It might need a little
something to at least show the hours..
 
thanks! .. not as difficult as it seems at first. Best way is to start with
someone else's work and then go backwards to see what they did.. or
just make slight alterations to it yourself. That way you start to get the
feel of it. Besides.. if you screw up a file, just delete it. (but I still cower
in fear with Corel..) :tongue:
 
and a few other goodies.. tried out some scroll saw patterns

Regarding the moon man, starting from the version with the black moon man and the clear pen 'steps', what if you eliminated the outline square and the front of the circle (with the star). Then you could play with the size of the moon man in relation to the 'steps' and perhaps rotate the moon man just a bit more. Then the moon man would be book-ending the pen rack, but would allow longer pens.

I tried that too, but i didn't spend a lot of time on it. Partly because the
different pen diameters might look awkward with larger or smaller openings,
but it was in between several other projects and I didn't really get anywhere
at the time. Might need to revisit that one..

Yes!

But if you still don't like that as a look, there are other images that you could incorporate into being holder/ends as well. Not only mythological, but geometric, art nouveau, maybe even some nature scenes ....oh and don't forget the themed professional stuff (legal scales etc)!!

Ha! Aren't you glad for all the extra work we just made for you? :eek::tongue:


Edit in : Dibs on the first Trekkie one!

OH, there's tons.. I just have to figure out how to make them workable
for pen stands, and keep in mind who might like them (or not)
