20. Great, but...
shouldn't Cheney have like 9 heart surgery scars, sort of like 50 Cents bullt scars?

How much to use the bedpan of shame as intended?

Yes, I use CAD.
For quite a number of years I've used AutoCad (R14 is my favorite).
I've recently started on a new project that uses SolidWorks, so
I'm on the steep upslope of that learning curve.

Here's another picture that has some components I made:






Yes, I'm feeling much better, thank you.
Ive been back to work for almost three weeks and am able
to work eight hours most days.

So, do I understand correctly that you are moving back to OK?

My son was a baggy pants skating dude with a bad GPA. He changed his life, graduated from HS with a 4.0, (I kinda forced him into it with tough love).

He now owns his own home and business, makes about $4,000-6,000 a month, has turned into one of the most organized people I know, a nice balance between an A-Type and B-Type personality, and is a wonderful husband a father of two.

Makes me think I did something right :D

The model was a balsa and bass wood pain in the ass to make. Yes...many hours...too many! When I asked the instructor what the point was in doing this (especially since I already have a lot of architectural design knowledge), he said I would probably be doing this for future clients. I told him that would NOT be something I would do..I would pay a model maker. I still got an "A" :D

41. Some random stuff
A lot of people who play online games will pay to have portraits, pictures, etc. made of their characters. Most get things done in a very comic book-y feel, but I try to offer something a bit different.

My last 2 finished works:

"Thor's Assassin" from the game "City of Heroes"




Limited color portrait--"Mach E. Avelli" from "City of Villains"




This one is not something I made, but it one of my favorite hobbies. Therefore, you get a pic of me after bodyboarding at Makapu'u Point.

simply gorgeous. I love the pattern, but would never have the patience to finish it. if it's on size 8 or smaller, I get sick of it really quick. But I can throw on a felted purse in about four hours with some fat wool on 11's or 15's :-) I really respect those that can do the intricate stuff- Kudos!

79. Size 3 with regular baby yarn
Right now I'm working on some Shetland lace...size 5 needles with an alpaca yarn that's a little thicker than sewing thread. That one's slow going.

Not a really clear picture, but it is plastic canvas, white lettering and dark blue (almost black) background. It says 'ITMFA.' I'm currently making three.

she's only about 5'5", kinda on the short side for professional modeling. The very talented photographer is a friend of hers. The link takes you to her gallery.

It is one of my favourites too. I don't know about vulnerable, but I did like her shoulders. They are very...feminine.

I expect she is a strong person in fact. :hi:

The layout was 12' x 18' and was only partially finished after a few years.

It took 5 guys 2 hours to completely dismantle it and toss out most of it.
