Spanky's Pic Place

I'm still puzzling out the best way to approach the Titty Chest build, so while I'm thinking about it, I'm experimenting with some plexiglass to make rupees to go into the Zelda Chest.
(With the exception of the Titty Chest, I've got all six chests and their contents fairly figured out)
I started by epoxying two quarter-inch pieces together


Then cut the shape out on the table saw


-and did some pretty sloppy polishing on the first one

Looking at ways to color the things.
I heard you can boil plastic in a pan of water with a pack of Rit dye. They said it takes an hour or so (checking every twenty minutes)
I wonder if the epoxy might not give way under the heat.
Also gonna try Super Glue to bind the halves.

Colored glue between two layers. Do the whole "jewel" cut, and it looks to be a "ruby" or whatever.

Use actual ruby.

A while back I read that most rubies ARE glass.

Switching to keymaking today since the acylic store is closed today.

meepz.
Can't drunk when I'm typing vodka.

Just a thought:
I'm working on a brass key while intoxicated.
Any f#ck-up has the potential to ruin hours of work.
...
...
...yeah, whatever. I'm going for it!

@spankerchief

Chloroform or Acetone (nail polish remover) are the adhesives they use in school shop classes here, and are probably easy to colour (food colouring might even work). Otherwise, get your acrylic in transparent colours of your choice (green, red, blue, etc.).

Thanks for the infos, DS.
Perfect Neighbor Brian told me about a plastics company nearby that has colored acrylic. I'm gonna go Monday and see if I cant just get a few 1/2" thick pieces to make the things out of.
(I'm on vacation for a week)

plaster titty mold?

Maybe the Titties are on the underside of the lid, so when you open it, Booooiiiinggg!

You could apply pasties also. You know, cause of the kids.

Looked damned good right up until I rinsed it off:

F#ck.

Welp, that's $50 and a whole morning's work down the sh#tter.

But at least I know for sure now that you can't stain acrylic.
Moving on.

On it.

You could try casting the pieces (then you can put spiders in the middle of them and stuff). Check out tapplastics.com for casting materials and sheets of colored acrylic. I thought they had dyes at one point for the resins. I don't see it now, but don't really have time to look that closely. They do have glow in the dark powder for their resins...

You can make silicone molds for the resins too - check out smooth-on.com

Gettin' mah hrf mmf bwah hmm-mmmft grobbffft.

meep,meep. How doing?

Done good!
Toofers are crooked as f#ck, but I've been flossing and brushing regularly. (I've got some relatives with GODAWFUL teeth/gum disease to serve as a reminder)
BTW I think the hygenist took joy in randomly stabbing the f#ck out of my gums.

Just ordered two bottles of Snake Wine.
Think I'm onna put one in the Monster Chest and share the other with anybody who thinks they're f#cking man enough.

I've had that stuff before. It's alright. I think.

There's a three-day deliverytime, according to the site.
I should have 'em this weekend.

You "think"?
Please elaborate.

I don't remember.

Obviously, he was too meeped up to remember. Perhaps a very subtle, non-verbal joke.

On a side note, you meepers are going all out for this great festivity. Sounds like a blast. High quality all around.

Be there, BigD.

I would like, but schedule does not align. Also, I am not worthy of attending, considering the amount of ungodly effort some of you are devoting.

I found (and bought) a third bottle at like...HALF the price from over on the east coast that has a smaller green snake instead of the scorpion:


BigDin, You are a fellow Swarmer and just as unworthy as the rest of us b#stards.
Make time and show up or we will dognap you, dress you in a British Royal Naval uniform and you'll spend the entire event in (padded)irons.

Tinkered with the legs for the next chest before the garage heated up.
It's 94 degrees farenheit ATM.
Screw Southern California. I can't imagine what people see in it.

I did some indoor work and got the "Monkey Ears" made.

Monster (Chest) leg.

A strange package arrives in the mail.


Well there they are.


Smaller than I was led to believe, but at least I won't have to worry about fitting one in this:

(As soon as I finish it, that is.)

I'm dwelling on what other horrors to put inside...

Boneless pork meep.
This'll be the first time I've done it.
I heard from the butcher that it's probably better to cook it with the bone IN.
You get a better idea of the amount of shrinkage, you don't have to tie the damned things up so they cook evenly and by twisting and pulling the bone, you can gauge how tender the meat is.

Regardless, into the fridge with your coats of tasty dry rub my little darlings.

I SWEAR I was feeling good when the kid took this.

Okay here's a softball pic.
