No, but her telling me that I'm not as much of an asshole and a fuck up as I say I am, and that even if I was she'd still love me makes her my girlfriend.
It's nice most of the time. Then she hits her period. :/

Angel, watching her every night through a pair of binoculars does not make her your girlfriend. Who's making all these new rules all of a sudden!! Like your new avatar and quote Leon.  it inspired me to change mine . This avatar (as was my last, the windmill) is one of my own original" drawings "modeled, textured , and rendered in Bryce. also....one of my favorite quotes from Asimov is: “Nothing interferes with my concentration. You could put on an orgy in my office and I wouldn't look up. Well, maybe once.”...Isaac Asimov Oooooooooh. Damn, where's that one from? You know, I looked at that windmill a lot. I'm not sure why, exactly, I think I was trying to figure it out. I even found myself at photobucket one time looking at it. Actually saying this makes me sound and feel like a crow that found a brass ring. Not sure if that makes sense, but oh well. I like this one, too. Your own work, huh? I'm jealous...I only swiped a snapshot from Southland Tales, cropped and scaled it (the previous one was Eddie Griffin in The New Guy) and Inkscape is unwieldy for some things. Anyways, kickass  |

I could use more space. And I get the basement to use as a shop, so 2x win for me! So Angel what do you build in your shop? I am fascinated by craftsmen of all types, who can master some of the machines now-a-days to create/repair. Much as an artist/draftsman now uses the computer to draw instead of paints or pen and inks. |

I'm jealous...I only swiped a snapshot from Southland Tales, cropped and scaled it (the previous one was Eddie Griffin in The New Guy) and Inkscape is unwieldy for some things. Anyways, kickass I won as a student in the Macworld show in SF.and it was shown at several digital shows across the US. The wind mill pic has a story, as do many of my drawings that are memories from growing up on a farm . Here is the "artists statement" that I submit with the original prints in a much larger version(350 DPI,14x12) which is titled See Forever . See Forever is one of a series of digital paintings of scenes from my childhood in West Texas. “I wanted to recreate scenes from my past that are imprinted in my mind’s eye and are a part of who I am. You could say I’m taking photos that never were.” See Forever is the picture of a six-year old girl’s climb up the side of a windmill to view unseen horizons, and her terrified realization of how high she’d climbed. “I couldn’t see the ladder’s rungs beneath me as I began my shaky, tentative decent. My mother, who had been searching for me, discovered me clinging to the windmill’s ladder. She coaxed me to the earth in a calm, matter-of-fact voice, and kept my panic at bay.” This one that I use as my avatar now also won a student prize and various other show prizes. It is titled Cool Drink. The artist statement for this one is as follows: Windmills provided drinking water from deep wells, even when the fields were bone dry. The water barrel sat by the windmill and contained a variety of childhood pleasures, as well as creating a phobia that followed me into childhood. The overflow collected in the wooden barrel and was the only source of cool on those hot summer days. Although the water from the tap was clear, the barrel's water shimmered with shades of blues and greens reflecting the algae collecting on the wet staves, making it difficult to see the bottom. As a young girl, the shifting, shimmering colors hypnotized me and struck a chord of fear for what lay at the bottom. But the cool drink was always welcome. I still have trouble trusting anyplace where I can’t see the bottom. |

I am fascinated by craftsmen of all types, who can master some of the machines now-a-days to create/repair. Much as an artist/draftsman now uses the computer to draw instead of paints or pen and inks. I do the drawing thing too, just not as much. I build things that I need, and things that are fun. Knives, swords (Both wooden and metal), tonfas, kamas, crossbows, you know, the FUN stuff. But I also make tables, desks, beds, etc. bats, pens and pencils. I just work on whatever I'm commissioned to do, or what I feel like. Any moar questions? |

Many "moar" questions! Can you make the axe the Executioner uses in Resident Evil 5? That thing is epic.

How very interesting ,Respect for any one using those intimidating large scary tools for turning,mitering sawing and sanding furniture. ....moar questions Have you ever used any of the Japanese woodworking tools in making furniture? Do you have a picture or so or could you describe some of your creations? what are your favorite projects? Woods? Materials? That's amazing! Do I/we get to see more of your work? Next time I change Avatars ,you can bet it will be a small version of my work or a part of one of them. |

Many "moar" questions! Can you make the axe the Executioner uses in Resident Evil 5? That thing is epic. I haven't played it yet, so technically no.  I can has money and/or materials for table? I build things that I need, and things that are fun. Knives, swords (Both wooden and metal), tonfas, kamas, crossbows, you know, the FUN stuff. But I also make tables, desks, beds, etc. bats, pens and pencils. I just work on whatever I'm commissioned to do, or what I feel like. Any moar questions?

Do you have a picture or so or could you describe some of your creations? what are your favorite projects? Woods? Materials? That's amazing! Do I/we get to see more of your work? Well, no pictures of anything that's decent. I have a picture of a pair of shitty practice tonfas I made in less than 3 hours. I just shaped them on the lathe, cylindrical and drilled a hole and shoved a handle in. Would you like to see pictures of shitty tonfas that were made out of I think cedar and some unknown material? I don't quite remember what they were made from. When I finish this sword I'm making now, I'll put it up. Sound good? I'm doing all with a belt sander only, so it's kind of tough. Those things eat away quite fast, making details harder. Now, when you say Japanese, what specifically are you talking? Carving chisels? Electric hardware? wat? Also, probably my favorite thing to do is making weapons of some sort. I have enough in storage to cover the walls of a room and a half give or take. Everything from javelins to nunchaku, metal and wooden. Though my smithing abilities have been suffering lately, because I'm too broke to pay for the materials.  My favorite wood would probably Ceylon ebony. It's durable and pretty. Now when you ask about materials, do you mean like shop equipment? My favorite brands? Or like what tools I use the most? Or things like sand paper and glue? |

Do you think you can make a joystick?

Post by Angel on May 15, 2009 15:42:41 GMT -5
One that will work with an actual game system? Probably not, as PCs are my electrical specialty, not game related things. One out of wood? Possibly. I'd have to take the "base", cut it in half, then round out the inside for a knob with a stick attached to go through, then attach another knob afterwords to use as the joystick ball.
But yeah, I certainly think it's possible. Also:
Hey Fang. Where ya' been?
