Got the legs matched to the body and the holes drilled for the toothpicks, it’s almost ready for gluing
Just gotta fix this
Once I get that wonky leg fixed and a final sanding with like 220 on everything, it’ll be time to glue
Guy started fiddling while his kid was napping and now hes got 40 hours into this thing
It has become somewhat more complicated than i initially envisioned
But all my projects do, so, 🤷
Yeah but it’s going to be awesome and fully worth it :)
I was thinking, ‘man, this guy’s kid has been asleep for a while’
Next week we’ll find him in a space flight comm researching miniature propulsion systems.
You shut your mouth
Because I will
Yeah this is taking way more that I would have liked.
I see you have your Axe ready, if it all goes horribly wrong.
As is proper. I split a ton of wood as a kid and I like axes
Good news everybody!
It’s a suppository!
Little more sanding first, eh?
It’s been great following along with your project. Good luck tweaking the leg.
I look forward to the daily updates. I don’t know what I will do when it’s finished.
Hell of a buttplug.
This is bigger than I thought it was. In the first pictures, it looked like it was 4" tall.
This would make quick work of leveling those fins:
This looks like it would be perfect for my athlete’s foot!
No need to worry, the legs will act like a flared base.
This has a very 1950’s “that’s what a rocket should look like” vibes-based profile (I mean no disrespect by this!), I love it
He should paint it like one of those toy rockets from Fallout.
Now don’t forget the glow in the dark cesium paint!
Put it in your butt
Are those regular food toothpicks or do you need meatier woodworking toothpicks? Do you just tap em in snug or what?
They’re just regular toothpicks from Walmart i think. They aren’t intended to give any additional strength, just keep the joint tight while the glue dries. With the pilot hole properly sized, they actually keep things surprisingly tight
Based on a few test holes, I’m thinking I’ll be able to just push them in by hand, I’m not sure they’re strong enough to survive much more than the lightest tapping
