how are the black floors holding up?

Pretty good, lotta scuffs already but noting a bit of rebuffing can’t fix. It does hide the green better, but isnt invisible

I’d recommend something better than what I did; VCT is the cheapest but requires the most upkeep. It works well enough for me but pushing dry ice totes, wheel heavy equipment, spills scuff it.

Apparently you need to burnish a floor 2-3 times per week to keep ‘em shiny so not like I got time for that. I did get a floor burnishing drill attachment, good for the occasional spot clean

Probably the best cryptid. Not menacing or threatening. Just out for a night stroll

In all reality that thing was probably a bug on the security camera :laughing:

From vacuum jacketed CO2 dewar to jacketed vessel

So since the dewars didn’t t have biomass entry holes (6” triclamp)
I had to customize
Cut the top and botom from the jacket
Cut holes in the top and botom of the main vessel
Weld it all back together
Since the top cap was severely damaged I decided to flip it to a concave cap

My friend Stumpy has been welding for years like that and he says it’s absolutely fine

At least he’s not stick or mig welding, lots of hot bits for the hands and the feet. :joy:


I usually just wear a light set of garden gloves for tig, for a quick weld just bare handed.

Been working on doing powered canvas using old disposable vapes. Been a neat project to kill time with.

Thanks dude, the whole Kamehameha thing made sense.

Also one of my first pieces to get a potential buyer. (Never sold, always gifted my “art”) got an offer for 100 bucks which I’m entertaining. (Trying to sell art to fund my college search)

Next piece is going to be Totoro at the bus stop, with a street lamp illuminating him.

All of these I’m advertising as “night lights”

Just gotta keep coming up with new concepts, which I’ll probably run out of ideas soon enough.

I am loving how this is turning out, still need to paint the rain in, but looks and functions pretty good.
