i made these sword wall mounts from Link’s house in BotW! i made three in total to match the three in Link’s Hateno house. the TotK ones are slightly different, featuring a rod to stand the weapon upright, rather that against the wall.*
i’m gonna be overly descriptive here for my own reference, as well as anyone else who would like to make something similar!
here’s the specs:
mount:
h - 44 in // w(top) - 16 in // w(bottom) - 14 in
plaque:
h - 2.5 in // w - 8.5 in
- made from plywood and cut wooden sticks
- bindings used screws, wood glue, and a nail gun
- base colour using spray paint
- border colour using primer paint
- fastened with velcro temporarily
- backside is hung on wall with a wire line
i plan to add Hylian text to the plaques. probably something general rather than a specific weapon name (so i can swap swords between mounts).
also planning to replace the velcro strip with a leather strap and buckle. something adjustable for different sizes. i’ll either use rivets or simply cut two slots in the sides for the leather strap to go through.
all my swords i plan on hanging here are high-density foam/PVC pipe. so far, i have the royal claymore, great flameblade, and master sword. although the first two are larger in game, they are roughly the same size as the master sword seen in the photos. this allows me to make a one-size-fits-most build!
inspired by u/ on reddit and twitter for the inspiration!
*here’s the different versions between games:

Okay, it's not a good *wallet* habit, but i highly recommend cultivating a stress response of acquiring a new niche hobby. Work is hard? New hobby! Never enough hours in the day to do important things? NEW HOBBY. It's a flawless solution, don't even worry. I have no idea how long I'm going to be preoccupied with this, because I'm accelerating but have no gauge for max speed, but straw marquetry time

Hermithouse update!
Aka the miniature wooden house I'm making for school / an art gallery, that I'm trying to add as many hermitcraft references to as possible!
Fun fact, the second floor is removable :3
Look at the lil bridge and spikey rocks i made for the outside area :D and all it took to make them was a small blood sacrifce! (<-this isn't a joke btw, i ended up getting hurt while using an electric saw... DW IT'S FINE ITS JUST A SMALL CUT LMFAO!!!)
The house is built on a river next to a forrest, but since i left that part in school over the weekend, i can't show yall my progress on it ;^;
More info + pictures of the whole house bellow!
(if u wanna suggest/already suggested sth, the update on the suggestions is below too!)
The deadline is Wednesday, which sadly means i don't have time to finish/add everything until then... BUT! Once the gallery is over, i will try to add the rest, including some more obvious references!
My current plans are:
Painting of a BIG moon
Original 12 bamboo
Mending book reference
Scarland artbook
Grumbot Laptop
Snail
Cherryblossom tree
The river near Magic Mountain (+gems deadly rocks)
Effo statue
Permitoffice posters
Hotguy poster
Gems boat
already added/gona try n add these before Wednesday, I'll add these after the gallery
Most of these are things you guys suggested, big ty for that! If u have any more ideas, feel free to tell me, although i will only be able to add those after the gallery!

Do NOT know why my father made this; however, I can use it. I removed the hinges, rough-sanded most of the surfaces, and got a nice, fragrant* coat of tung oil on it. The smaller piece will become a shallow shadow box lined with a piece of an EXTREMELY old hexagon quilt I was given by an older neighbor. The larger piece
m-i-g-h-t help alleviate the clutter that build up on the night table. Maybe. So I can take "box" off the project list and add "wood painting", because my husband got this piece sanded smooth:
and he would like me to paint this little creek on there.
So I need time to sew, craft, cook, clean, take care of Hero and the pasture, the garden, tutor, paint, and uh . . hmmmm. No, nope, I can definitely do everything. This will work.
.* well I think it smells kind of nice; it's oil from nuts of the tung tree.

Long time Tumblr enjoyer, first time poster.
Here is a chicken coop I have been building. In true goblin fashion it is 90% made from pallet wood and reclaimed materials aka trinkets from my travels. See list below for examples
Palletwood- taken from local shipping company
Nails- removed from mallet Pallet wood, bent back to shape
Windows: made from a scrap of acrylic found in the dumpster at work
Vertical posts: dug out of the creek behind my house
Cain link fence for the run: also dug out of the creek
Concrete pavers: also also dug out if the creek
These pictures are from various points in the process and trust me, I have taken loads more if anyone is interested… I’m still working on a more permanent run but hopefully that will be done soon. I’m glad to finally have the chickens in it!

been collecting vintage tiles for the surface of the studio work bench I’m building. a bunch of these were sourced from demolition sites in the path of Sydney’s WestConnex motorway, scraps of vintage fireplaces rescued from the rubble by another local artist.
aiming to use recycled/second hand materials where possible…sourcing recycled timber next week <3

I can't believe my dad is retired. I feel too young for this. I feel he's too young for this. I feel like I'm still 15 sometimes. I feel surprised every time I go home and he looks older. I feel surprised when I finally FaceTime home instead of call and see he's grown a beard for the first time in my life. I feel like time should really just... freeze

Did some wood turning last weekend and finally got around to applying some shellac.
This started off as a 6x6 beam of ash, that I turned into this vase. Originally had a bit more of a lip at the top but I delved too deep and it cracked so I shortened it.

Little brainstorm board for an old dream project.
So my original wood dnd set was 1/16th or 1/8th (I forget) ply woodburnt with patterns and with hand carved characters. Still have my original wizard, wise old man, and rogue, lost my kobold, but walls would just be implied by the shape of sheets
This new set is aiming to be *mostly* formless. Going to have a few big pieces for roofs or quick floors, a small bit of carved furniture, but mostly want 1x1x1 wood blocks in various combos/tetriminos to block things out. After enough blocks are gotten I'll be adding woodburning for bricks/wood/etc, and then some various stains for various materials, but shy from paint or unrealistic stains. I want shades of brown. All monsters will be various 'meeple' shapes, flat, with woodburnt patterns, mostly from dollarstore kids toys that are plentiful here, and humanoids will be woodburnt 'peg doll' style beings, roughly in 35mm scale/sub 2 blocks tall
Also going to have some more general shapes for quick things. have some fences/walls made already using off brand jenga, various preglued shapes, and I'll have some centre piece furniture with various uses. Eventually want to woodburn some of those fences with 'graffiti', mostly to fit into games like 40k
Tried making a wooden dnd set way back in grade 10, but the teacher got pissy about the wheelchair I had after surgery that year and would only let me do book work in shop class, so it never got finished (which I can understand no big power tools. Maybe even no scroll saw. But no hand tools, no chisel or hand saw, no wood burner, no stool or wheelchair only painful crutches post-surgery hunched on a desk, ridiculous, but a rant for another day)
Wood, you can throw it at a wall, dump it in a bucket, it won't break, at worst it cracks and you reglue with sawdust and can barely tell. And it's *aesthetic*. Good dnd stuff. Plus it fits into larp if you want to rp at the rp place XD
