Sneak peak - the Hammertone brass guitar
It`s a wood and hammered brass body with bolt on neck.
It`s playable, but far from done.
In the end it will have some sort of wooden pick guard, a sunburst patina like the uke and proper edge binding.
How does it sound?
I've got a custom pre-amp in it built by my friend Vlad that blends between the magnetic pickups and an internal microphone. On the magnetic (standard electric guitar) setting it sounds great, just like a standard electric should. The microphone pickup needs some work however. It's really prone to feeding back at the resonant frequencies of the top and back and it sounds rather brassy, like a cookie tin with strings. Needs work. I'll probably end up having to dampen the top and back with some sort of something.
Suggestions welcome.

Railroad spike bird
Here's a photo of my latest project, a bird made from welded railroad spikes.
And another! His name is spike. He now lives in a nice house in Nepean.
They've been sold, but I'm looking forward to making more like this. Perhaps a dinosaur, one with a bunch of back spikes, like a Dacentrurus. Or a hedgehog, or a porcupine. Suggestions welcome.
"Oscar! No running near the impaling lawn sculptures!"
You can see how I made one at Zone 12 projects

From the forge...
Here's a collection of things from the forge.
What better way to hang a cast iron pot than with a wrought iron hook.
Finished in natural beeswax.
Made to order, installation and matching hardware included.
Greatest garden cultivator ever made.
It excels at breaking up compacted dirt. The long pointed twin tines easily cut down deep to the roots for easy weed removal. Well as easy as weed removing can be.
Sadly does not replace getting down on your knees and pulling.
Wood-burned mono-graphed handle for gift giving.
