To be honest, I’m not sure. I spent the last 2 months involved with a contest in Markland and was not able to post the results till the contest was over. All entries were anonymous. Instead of March Madness, the had a Makers Madness contest. It consisted of 4 rounds with the bottom scorers dropping out each round until there was a final 4 for the final round. I managed to come in 2nd of which I am very pleased. The Artisans did an incredible job and I was surprised to finish so highly. My 4 entries were as follows:
2nd Round: Hand spun and woven Winingas
3rd Round: Cast Silver hooks for Winingas
4th and Final Round: Birka Pouch
Each entry could not be started until the previous was finished and the time between judging got smaller and smaller.
Now that that is out of the way and I can get back to putzing around, I need to clean up all the pictures and other things I have been doing up till now, so here goes:
Photo dump of Mastermyr Griddle:
Photos of me using the drawknife I had been working on to create the handle for the Mastermyr Adze and the froe. Both of which have been ongoing projects that are now done. Plus some pics of my recent work:
The next will be a photo dump from the winingas:
Another project that I have started, but I’m not sure if or when I will finish is towel bars and shelves for my bathroom. Out of habit I documented the process, same as everything else.
I have also started a few more tools for the Mastermyr chest as well as starting on the Fire Grate from the find. Here is a gallery of that work:
And now the photo dump for the casting of the hooks:
Almost at the end, Here are the photos from making the Birka Pouch:
Finally a brazier that I put together. This one ended up being more of a proof of concept then a finished piece that I would use. I am undecided on reworking this one or making a new one to correct the mistakes in this one.
I am sorry there is not much about these photos, but I wanted to get caught up on what I have been working on and concentrate on what I am working on next. The 4 projects for the contest are explained in the documentation that can be found at the top of this blog. If you have any other questions about anything in these pictures, please do nto hesitate to ask. Hoping to be more on top of things in the future, I remain
Your servant,
