Builds – Squad 14

I call this piece the Faerie Rose. This was made as a confession of my feelings for someone who I care deeply about. Unfortunately, my feelings were not returned but the rose was. The plaque inscription is and will remain between me and her.

This is one of my older creations but by far one of my favorites. This is a jewelry box that I made for someone very special to me. The lid was made by carving insets for the sword and shield charms and wood burning the triforce symbol and the symbols of the various spiritual stones. I lined the interior with craft foam and blue felt and added a pair of sliding trays and a custom first surface mirror. Behind the mirror is a soundboard that plays the open chest and item get sound effects from the Ocarina of Time game. I also added a heart container charm and a holding chain.

This was a simple project I made as a last day/good luck present for a Co-worker that was leaving the company. She is a huge Harry Potter fanatic so I created a replica of the Elder Wand. It was 3D printed with white ABS plastic and hand painted to look like real elder wood with the antiquing and handling marks you would expect of an oft handled object. This is still a prized possession of hers and she even featured it on her twitch stream when she gave a room tour.

This is another of my favorite creations. This is a custom wand I made for one of my best friends. Being a fellow pagan and not having a wand that was not a replica of a movie prop I was asked to create this, I call it the Moonstone Wand. This wand is made of lacewood and hand shaped using only hand tools. I then set a peach colored moonstone in a silver bezel on the bottom of the wand I also wood burned in the ancient arcane symbols for the four primary elements and a letter of the Theban alphabet. The whole thing was then finished with garnet shellac and polished with a finishing wax.

The Book of Shadows was a commission for my friend Atayla over at Atayla_Gaming on twitch. This is a custom bound blank book. The pages are hand sewn signatures of parchment with custom hand sewn headbands. The endpapers are custom and trimmed with blue ribbon. There are three ribbon bookmarks sewn into the binding each with a unique charm on the end. The cover is hand tooled and cut leather with custom made straps and silver leafed symbols on the cover.

This jewelry box was a Gift for one of my best friends. I pyrographed a tribal inspired symbol of the Deathly Hallows with an inlaid Slytherin House crest on the lid and deferentially stained a Celtic knot on the bottom I also installed a better set of hardware. On the inside of the box I installed a light activated sound board that plays Hedwig’s Theme, a first surface mirror framed into the lid with Emeralds and Cubic Zirconia inset along with a silver symbol of the Deathly Hallows. The box is lined in Emerald Green silk with a custom ring holder slide.

This was a personal project. I decided I disliked the majority of the available Xbox controllers on the market I decided I wanted something more “Wintery” for my primary controller. This was a Glacier White Xbox One controller that I disasembled and airbrushed with transparent blue Tamiya paint.

This was a custom necklace I made for someone special that was dealing with some heavy issues last year on top of what the pandemic had already released on her life. Hand cut sterling silver with a copper bezel holding an amazing rainbow moonstone.

This is a pendant that I made my mother for her birthday. It is a hand cut sterling silver heart in my personal take on an open heart design. It is set with a silver bezel and an opal it was also my first attempt at jewelry making.

This is an older piece and I cannot find all of the pictures I took while documenting this build but these are the finished 3d printed shells for my fully functional PIPBOY 3000. If I locate the other pictures I will update this section.

This is one of my oldest finished pieces, it currently lives as both my desktop and phone background as well as being the background of my website and is printed on my deskpad.
