Making A Steam Punk Rifle Day Three

Instead of using the fiberglass cloth, I had some speaker cover cloth cut into 2" - 3" strips and soaked it in the fiberglass resin and wrap around the copper tubes and the front part of the stock.

All is left is to use primer paint and get some gold rub and buff, redo the but plate, adding another switch to solder, and glue the electronics in to finish this cool and exciting project.

Making A Steam Punk Rifle Day Two

Today was a good day to find two glass shaped diamonds to glue to the end of the copper pieces with a cut out circle traced from one end piece with a fine tip marker onto a sheet plastic styrene (040" Thick 1.0mm) with a hole in the center of it for the lights. I used the water clear epoxy 330 to glue the glass diamonds to the end.

Had to buy some wire one spool of red and one spool of black to run and thread the wire threw the copper tubing, and used E-600 to glue some Velcro strips to the battery pack and to the side of the shotgun stock.

Before soldering the wires together test the connection to make sure that the lights blink then solder.
I didn't have a chance to mix up the fiberglass resin to wrap around one end of the tube and stock

Making A Steam Punk Rifle Day One

Supplies two (inch and 1/4 diameter) copper pipes (or PVC pipes), cut both 1 foot 14 and a half inches, pipe cutter or a hacksaw, two copper end pieces, working trigger guard, shotgun stock, JB weld or good epoxy, two crystals or clear glass spheres, fiberglass repair kit, and a rubber band or a plastic stretch wrist band.


Step one: Place band around both copper tubes and place band around the stock.
Step two: Glue or epoxy one tube to the right or left side of the stock be sure that both tubes are exactly even with one another, the epoxy will take a day or so to dry and set up, so have lots of patience.

These were a few things laying around the house and looked fun to make within a reasonable cost.

More to come as it comes along, this my fist project in awhile...

Stay tuned for more....
It can be interesting how a creative thought or idea can become physical reality.

The First Shaiya Mount

My first level 40 mount which is a Leopard, not to shabby for a World of Warcraft M.M.O.

To bad you couldn't get a mount at a lower level...

Must preserve the queen.

Old Poster From The Past

It has been awhile since my last post and a lot has been going on...

The usual has been the ongoing process work, fixing dinner, grocery shopping, ETC...
Really haven't had any creative ideas for more blogging over the past few months, been wanting to but as to what to post and been having writers block and the day to day things happen for a reason...

The Hunger Strikes (A Theory of Humankind)

What is the hunger and thirst?

The story line of both in all people that are hear and those that have past;

What happens when your hunger can never be satisfied and your thirst to be never quenched.

The basic definitions of both: To hunger is to feed on food to temporary satisfy on what you eat till you are full: To quench one's thirst is to drink water and or whatever is what at hand...
The complex interpretations of both: The hunger within is when you need Knowledge, Guidance, Faith, Believe in Something Greater (Goddess, Gods, Deities, ETC..) Spiritually, Working for the Greater Good, ETC:
The thirst within is when you need to be Loved, Compassion, Acceptance, Gratitude, Passion, ETC...


Examples: When a person seeks out Spiritually, Knowledge, ETC.. They hunger on what they want to be involved with like going to Churches, Temples, Sacred Spaces, The Outdoors, Reading Books, ETC.. when it is found the hunger is satisfied for a long time as long as people are Happy with Involvement, Making it Interesting, Fun, and not Repetitive over the same subjects over and over again, this tends to burn people out and they move on with the next fad.


The thirst is quenched when people remark on what they do or how they act to be fulfilled with Positive Reinforcement from their Priests, Pastures, Priestesses, ETC..

What happens when neither is satisfied or quenched or is suffocated by other people opinions?
We all run into this now and then..
That person starts to feel Unfulfilled, Uncompleted, Rebellious, and Unwanted...
