Nixon Stencil

It all started with his campaign for a second term

I made a small stencil of his face, and then a giant one

Greeting you at the library entrance

BFF's

Stenciled his face onto a trampoline and then jumped on it

Chandelier


Knitting

I'm going for a world record here

Knitting with paper is incredibly difficult, but looks very pretty

Stirling Engine


My first attempt at building a stirling engine

Too much friction and not enough heat
Could never get beyond 5-6 rotations on its own

Second attempt
Playing with different different piston designs

Drawings



Gun, split second before being fired


Nomadic children


Villagers


Self-portrait

I drew this right before falling asleep in some hotel lobby

Hubcap Guitars

Overbuilt, underthought, and devilishly tricky to tune,
but they sounded out of this world

Bike Stand


Adams is starting a bike repair shop
I made him a stand to hold up the bikes while he works on them

I used an odd array of parts to make a clamp


A few twists of the bolt secures the bike in place


That barbell was really heavy to carry home

Leap Into the Void

My shoulder still hurts

Box

Christmas present for my sister

Zester

I tend to build guitars when I don't know what else to do
