Realized I forgot to post my final asignement of the school year. (1 month ago)

I’ve been very preoccupied since I ended up moving right after finals.

The theme for the assignment was:

˚✧₊⁎ Fairytales⁎⁺˳✧༚

Or as they would say in my native tongue: ”Eventyr“

So I decided to make a ring based on the quintessential symbol of kings and nobles in all the realms. A crown.

The soldering involved in this project was honestly a pain. Since I had very little opportunity to practice soldering, (we were only allowed to start soldering 2 months before the final assessment) and the strict time limit.

There was a fair bit off product designing involved.

Balancing aesthetic value and production time.

I also had to reevaluate my plans multiple times early on as I tested out the different processes involved in making the ring.

a penny for your thoughts?

Not a completely rendered piece, but another drawing of the characters in @david-devik's universe >:3 He's going a bit back and forth on what Afena (the tiger) is supposed to look like ahaha, but that just means I'll make even more fan art of Afena and Rhea (bunny)

My Latest Project

Which I finished earlier this ring was my first propper soldering assignment.

First we made a bracelet. Where all the individual links were soldered.

Then we could make our own design for the second part of the assignment.

I ended up testing the limits of my precision given the allotted time frame.

As always I made a copper prototype first.

It was judged to just barely not be of sale worthy quality. Witch suits me just fine, since I had no intention of selling it.

Anyway now I’m off on holiday, and I have 3 more assignments before summer break.

I have a few different ideas tossing around in the ol’ noggin for this school years’ final project. I’m thinking of combining metalworking and woodworking.

Finnished the wood working project a while back.

Oak box with sliding lid. Learned some basics joint techniques

For my next project I made mahogany dice with silver inlays for the eyes

Me and my peers have started on a 2 week wood working course.

Since Monday we’ve been practicing wood jointery. And we’ve gotten the plans for the final product.

The trials are made in pine wood and the final produkt will be in oak.

It’ll be a small box with a sliding lid.

I made a video about a weird tool I like.

Did sand-casting for the first time this week

Continuing my trend to complete assignements on time.

Since my last upload I’ve been doing a redesign/up-cycling exercise.

The pallet was a purely theoretical exercise.

The video Is to showcase the parallax effect in the design. (It gives the illusion that the eyes are following you)

New assignment, new design, new product

7days to make a new design, product and a short report and I somehow managed to Finnish half a day early.

Been a busy semester:

Long story short, at the end of my summer break I decided to move halfway across the country to attend a private craft/art school I got into.

We’ve mostly been doing metal working, but we also had a period where we dove into leatherworking and we’ve been doing some technical drawing.

Highlights:

Doing great so far.

The Jule tide is right around the corner and I’m exited for the next semester.
