Tomorrow I will start on the next commission on my list.
A pair of cosplay prop pistols. They are green with black grips. They each have a green blade attached to the end of the barrel.

And done.

It may not be perfect, but it does play well (for an amateur at least)

I finally finished this sword commission. Just letting the last bit of touch up paint dry, then I'll package it for shipping. #cosplay #comission #sword #maker #rwby
A wooden prop replica of Weiss Schnee's sword Myrtenaster from the anime RWBY. Myrtenaster is a standard-length rapier, silver in color with black etchings along the blade and hilt. Housed in the hilt is a revolving chamber of Dust vials, which can be switched out via turning the handle. A revolver-like hammer is located between two of the decorative prongs, and a trigger is located on the underside. It is resting on a black metal bars outdoors.

All that's left is the felt, rails, and pockets.

The new felt was delivered today. It is much thinner than the original which I was expecting given the price point. But I'm still bummed I couldn't save the original. I hope it lasts long enough for me to save up for higher quality felt.

I took the tv from my craftroom and put it in my bedroom until I can buy a new one.

I went from 55" smart tv to a 26" 20 year old non-smart tv.

I haven't posted any of the progress yet, but I have started on my latest commission. I've got the sword cut and sanded and did a few primer coats yesterday. Today I sanded it again to smooth the edges.
Weiss's sword Myrtenaster from RWBY without the detail embellishments. It is laying on a faux wood floor currently only primed with black primer. Two of the detail "fins" for the previous sword sitting on a piece of cardboard also just coated with black primer.

I started painting the battle staves over the weekend. However, I didn't notice some paint drips from the primer coat until spraying the silver this morning, which is the last coat...so I have to let that dry then sand those spots down and repaint 🙃
One end of prop battle staves painted silver. Some noticeable paint drips are visible on a few spots.

Does anyone have experience with this wood stain?

I'm trying to find a match for my pool table so the new leg I'm making for it matches the rest of the table and this has the closest matches.

I had the time and energy today to cut the plywood pieces for the replacement pool table leg.

My cuts may not be perfect, but they should suffice.
Several pieces of plywood fanned out on the floor. 4 rectangles and 3 smaller squares.

I got 2 commissions last week and got both of them built this morning.

I may prime them today, but it depends on how I'm feeling after I take Krypto for a walk in a little bit.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, soundgarden, pearl jam, or alice in chains.
The album cover for Garbage's debut self-titled album. It has a background of pink feathers. It reads "garbage" in all lowercase typewriter font, with a larger capital "G" beneath it. All text is in black.

Dog parents, I have a question. I was given these by a neighbor for Krypto but am reading conflicting info on whether or not they are safe. I don't want to give him anything that could hurt him. Any advice would be great. #Dogs #DogSky

Projects I'm working on this week. The gauntlets just need to be primed and painted. The gun I'm waiting for the foam clay to dry completely so I can hand sand it, and the wine bottle caddies need to be hand sanded before I apply some poly to them.

If anyone wanted to buy my fur babies some xmas presents, I've added some to my throne list.

Admittedly, it's very unimportant. But I wish I could spoil them.
