  • Summary

    Made a little thingy from Dead Cells using metals and wood pieces to make something that can be hung off a nail.
    
    I lased the wooden corners out of scrap materials, and had little wooden pieces left over from a different project, then simply glued everything together with wood glue. Voila! Infinity plus one dollars for this masterpiece!
    
    This is the first, so it's pretty flawed and ugly, I've learned a lot from the process, like how I should just engrave grooves into the corner frames instead of the weird approach I took with the sandwiched bits on the sides.
    
    I lasered on both sides, to try to figure out the ideal settings. I think I like the side where the moon isn't white more. Check out the video of me turning the item around.
