Ball Pein

Ball Pein

A lot of men today are clueless when it comes to tools. The increased affluence of the past 50 years led many men to outsource handyman work instead of doing repairs and home improvement themselves. And let’s face it. Men today can be pretty darn lazy. They’d rather play their Xboxes than work on building something with their own bare hands.But knowing how to handle tools is an essential skill every man should, well, have a handle on. You’ll become more self-reliant, you’ll save money, and you’ll enjoy the supremely manly satisfaction of working with your hands. To help the generation of men who never got around to learning how to use tools, we’ll be doing a series of posts on basic toolmanship.To kick off our series on tool use, we start with the lowly hammer. To the unskilled, hammering just means pounding the hell out of something until you get the job done. Sure, you could do that, but you’ll end up with crummy results and a tired arm to boot. A wise handyman knows how to use a hammer safely, effectively, and efficiently.

Rawhide Mallet

Rawhide Mallet

For your veg tan leathers this is a nice tool - it's essentially a wood burner that's set to the right temperature range for leather. Comes with a chisel point so you can try to create a better looking blue marlin than Charlie did, and the point unscrews so you can put in one of the other 5 points that come with the iron:  heart, square, star, circle, and diamond. You can see how the star shape branded into the leather in the bottom left picture. Brander also comes with a folding stand and it has a handy on/off switch in the cord. Heats up to working temp in about 5 minutes. Use caution - this thing will burn you.  Extra brands available below Leather Branding Iron with 6 tips  $18, USA postage includedRivet Setting Tool for use with post rivets or tubular rivets  (not for use with brass two-part rapid rivets - scroll down a bit for that tool). Punch a hole in the leather, put the post rivet through, putthe pin end of this tool in the throat of the rivet, give it a good whack with the mallet, and the end of the rivet splits into six flower petal sort of things, holds the leather quite well.  These setting tools are hardened steel and have a long life span - to make them last you MUST use a nylon or rawhide mallet -  and a cutting board/pounding pad.  $15 each, USA shipping included. Rivet Setter for Post or Tubular Rivets -

Escher Triangle

Escher Triangle

The work of M.C. Escher needs no introduction. We have all learned to appreciate the impossibilities that this master of illusion's artwork presents to the layman's eye. Nevertheless, it may come as a surprise for some, but many of the so-called 'impossible' drawings of M. C. Escher can be realized as actual physical objects. These objects will resemble the Escher's drawing, of the same name, from a certain viewing direction. This work below presents some of these three-dimensional models that were designed and built using geometric modeling and computer graphics tools. You are also invited to watch our "Escher for real" and "Impossibly real" YouTube movie. In the following sequences, figures are frequently presented in pairs. The left figure in each pair is the front view-Escher's drawing's direction, whereas the right figure gives a general view. Whenever a real, tangible model has been created, it will be presented as a second pair to the right of the pair of computer rendered images. The objects were physically realized with the aid of layered manufacturing systems:

The Go Away Garage is a real garage in Wichita Kansas. Mitch Willis started out building custom hot rods on West Street and now builds motorcycles at the joint on Commerce St., where the garage has been for more than a dozen years. When Willis needed privacy to devote to his projects, he’d put up a 4-foot-by-8-foot sign that said “Go Away." The name stuck. Thus the Go Away Garage.Reproduction sculpture of Escher's Sphere Fish, one of M.C.
