I create 3D models and bring them to life via 3D printing and conventional metalworking processes. My processes are documented in blog posts and videos which, I hope, function as helpful tutorials. I work on custom projects all the time, and I welcome a challenge.

Free jewellery! Right, right, not free, that's just bad clickbait. You can request any item of jewellery that I've designed (other than one based on my sigil, that's MINE), whether I offer it for sale or not, as long as it's in any material cheaper than gold. I may be willing to supply one that's gold-plated, depending on what it is. Alternatively, you can request up to $100 worth of miniatures.

End-of-Month Update for April 2021: I haven't done too much online this past month, since there is so much outdoor work to do.  My posting rate on Hive has also slowed, given that I'm now making fully bilingual posts (English and Russian, as you may have guessed).  It's not going as well as I'd like, for a number of reasons.  Hopefully, I can get some feedback on my translations soon, preferably from someone who has an engineering background in Russia and can help me with all of the technical jargon.  In the mean time, here is a preview of my latest 3D model, the black trireme Pherazmil, sister ship to the Zaphnora.  This one is almost done, just a few details left to add.  Other steampunk airships are in the works, and I'd like to get these ideas out of my head and into 3D models before my next big project, which will be to relocate my 3D print shop, thus consolidating my entire operation.  I recently cleaned out a space that is quite suitable for my entire miniature shop, and it may even have enough room left over to set up a reloading press as well.  More metalworking content is coming soon, perhaps even some gunsmithing!

the Goal
Get me a new TIG welder! My current machine is touch-start, which I am not fond of. I've already had to replace the torch on it, but that doesn't solve the problem.
$4,000
to reach
the Goal
Get me some CNC machines! Truthfully, I don't know what I want yet, but this amount will pay for an entire Sherline benchtop setup, which is perfect for manufacturing small, intricate parts. Otherwise, I'll use this money to pay for a CNC controller and kit to convert my existing milling machine.
$9,000
to reach
the Goal
Get me a selective laser sintering (SLS) 3D printer! I originally wanted to start my 3D print shop with one of these, but the LFS machine was more advantageous at the time. I would still like to get the SLS machine, however, since I can think of many different designs that would work better with that process.
$20,000
to reach
the Goal
Get me a BIG lathe! Seriously, I know I'm reaching here, but there is a lot I could do with a 20" x 60" engine lathe.
