Build Night - May 15  Steampunk mask (leather cutting and dyeing).

We are now into the meat of it.  We will be taking a pattern and cutting the leather.  We will also be dyeing the leather.  Bring a Pencil, leather hole punch, sharp razor knife or two.  Bring your brass bits and other fiddley bits to start attaching.

If you were not there last week come on by and we will get you started.

We will be designing and making the pattern for our steampunk mask. The type of mask is like a dust mask.  It will fit over the nose and mouth.

We had a great start with room for new people to join.



I know I keep saying boxes but they look like coffins.

We need to add tops and bottoms and a hinge.

If anyone is interested in getting together (April 10) to just eat and drink then I will be at Planet Sub.  This is just South of I635 and I35.  Nothing planned other than eating and talking.  Maybe I will bring a Zombie game.

We were looking into having a build night to work on amplifier

circuits tonight but the parts we needed are not available in time.

Hope to see everyone next week at the Show & Tell then we will resume

with Build Nights on the following Tuesday, Sept 13.

We will be brassing and antiqueing and adding the fiddley bits.  

Steampunk goggles.  It is finally here and just in time for Riverfest Mini Maker Faire.  We will be constructing goggles out of materials you bring.  So look around your house and your friends house for potential goggle materials.  Bring extra to share.

Here is a list of possibilities:

McDonald milk bottles with lids,

V8 bottles with lids,

any plastic bottles with lids,

It took longer than I thought to build a Cigar Box Guitar this week. So we will finish them up next Tuesday the 19.

You will need to bring a Cigar Box and clamps would help.  Extra stuff that we share amongst ourselves are soldering gear, clamps, battery powered drill if you have one, and drill bits if you have one.  Tell everyone where you got your cigar box.  It might help others.

There are still 2 kits available at $15.00 eaches.  There were extra boxes if you just want to show up.
