I Think I finally managed to figure out what I am going to do with my steampunk hawaiian. I have been focused on trying to make a shark tooth knife for so long that I have lost track of other projects, since I haven't the tools, but have the teeth, to create the thing. It has been stagnating. Plus, I have had a time documenting and, more importantly, remembering, the proper pronunciation of the submarine's name. But things may change here soon.
1) Found a place on ebay that I can order CLEAN swordfish bills out of which I can make daggers.
2) I can remember how to pronounce a'u which happens to be the hawaiian for swordfish (vowels are suprisingly like spanish and a vvowel typically indicates a sylable break, so it is two sylables)
So, projects adapt. HEE!

Mea Culpa.
Yeah, I know.
Okay, enough of that. Okay. Well there have been some changes in the old Yul's internet presence...
I have succumbed to Facebook.
Yea how the mighty have fallen. Yadda, yadda.
Enough.
Okay, need to get this thing back on track. Projects need to get posted, since I have them again.
Working on:
mongol belt, as I have finally gotten the knife to go with.
Name- Passed, now arms?
Needle felted alien space tentacle...getting there.
Car fixed...trying to figure out if I want to splurge for the off road bumper I have always wanted (not Cheap)
Ring...waiting to see Bob about stones.
As they happen there will be updates, finally. I promise.

Latest project

Since this I have finished the hazel one.

Sorry about the delay
Sorry about the delay all you peoples out in cyberland. I have been busy. Unfortunately not with fun projects, but that will be changing.
There is a new live
journal community in town. Specifically, TerminuSteam, for the Atlanta, GA area. I have fallen into the rabbit hole/thing I usually do when I get obsessed with something and it all seems to want to come together. It is rather frightening.
But I digress.
This gives me many more projects to do, of which it seems I already have 90% of the materials to do so. This is a major rarity. Especially since it allows me to do something kind of neat. At the meetup we had for terminusteam I was rather (I apologize now) jealous of some of the AMAZING props that came with people. I was actually thinking of trying to fall into my old pattern of not doing anything because it would not be as neat as some of the stuff I had seen out there in cyberland and up close. But then, with the illustrious help of Mr. J. Verne, and my inherent pack-rat nature, I had an epiphany. Yea, my stuff may not look as cool...but I can make it OPERATIONAL. No I won't be making steel shrouded Leyden spheres, but i have the working air gun that would launch them. Oh and for ranging to target (will get to that later) I already own a visual range finder! Just need to punk it out!
It may not be all brass and shiny gages, but it WORKS! For REAL!
Life can be fun sometimes!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 'puff, puff, AAAAAAAAAAH! They're here!
They're here!They're here!They're here!They're here!They're here!
What you may ask? Come on, I know you wanna. Come on. Ask.
PLEEEEEEZE? I'llbeyourbestfriendforeverandwecanplaygameandcampoutandfishand...
'SMACK'
Now, that that's over, may I introduce my new set of vintage (Sounds odd I know. Go with it.) 1950s faux alligator luggage.
Unfortunately they had already auctioned off the matching briefcase, but I got the three others. It cost me more to get them here than total I paid for them.
Oh and did I mention that they're wardrobe cases.
HEE!
Interior pics to follow.

Ipod Cozy
Okay, Okay. I know I don't actually own an Ipod. I have a creative zen M. But it needed a pouch as it was getting bounced around in my briefcase.
The "front"
The "back"
Whatever the roving that Megan (yes that Megan. She of the amazing giving me of stuff.) had I need to know what the fiber was. The blue felted like a dream.
