Shiv #59 of 365 - Thingy #1

Shiv #59 - Thingy #1

I dunno what this is.

In other news, I was really busy this week and didn't have time to post all these.

BETR L8 THAN NEV0R

Shiv #58 of 365 - Shivasaw

Shiv #58 - Shivasaw

Reciprocating saw blade, sharpened on the other edge.

Also note my filthy work table.

(It's really a protective plywood panel on top of a table I don't want to screw up too bad, but that's plenty "work table" enough for me.)

Shiv #57 of 365 - Five-Spike

Shiv #57 - Five-Spike

I've made a few filthydirty shivs so far, but this is probably the new king of filthynasty.

That's five nasty pokes for the price of one.

Shiv #56 of 365 - Polly Pocket Knife

Shiv #56 - Polly Pocket Knife


This is the sort of thing that, to me, is simply intuitive.

Also note the bonus shiv; she's holding her own wee poker!

(As if it needed to be said, I have no affiliation with whoever it is that owns and/or produces Polly Pocket.)

Shiv #55 of 365 - Unsafety Scissor #1

Shiv #55 - Unsafety Scissor #1

Formerly a part of a pair of safety scissors.

Expect the other part sometime ohhhh next week.

Shiv #54 of 365 - Aluminum Knife #2

Shiv #54 - Aluminum Knife #2

And the sequel to the first Aluminum Knife.

Expect a goodly number of entries into this subseries. A number of shivs outside the Aluminum Knife nomenclature already use aluminum for their blades.

The tools I have for working these shivs somewhat limits my selection of metals, and so far I've found aluminum to be a great blade material because it's both feasible as a blade, being sturdy and capable of holding a fair edge, and it's soft enough to work with, from cutting to grinding edges to drilling holes for tang screws.

Shiv #53 of 365 - Beamshiv #2

Shiv #53 - Beamshiv #2

Fifty shivs later and we see the next Beamshiv, this time made with a SteelTec beam.

Splendor abounds.

Shiv #52 of 365 - Brass Monkey Poker

Shiv #52 - Brass Monkey Poker

Mmm, deliberate ambiguity.

Shiv #51 of 365 - I'm a Shark/Shiv

Shiv #51 - I'm a Shark/Shiv


In celebration of the new music video for mCRT's nerdcore rapstravaganza song "I'm a Shark" from his recent album Penis Monologues, I present to the world this shiv, which is a shark, and a shiv.

You can see the video on the YouTubes right here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tfsREIMIhk

You can listen to and download mCRT's Penis Monologues and his other albums at his web site: http://www.robisfunny.com/

Shiv #50 of 365 - Wooden Spool

Shiv #50 - Wooden Spool

I figured I should get another spool shiv made.

I am a fool for spools.

Shiv #49 of 365 - Golf Tee

Shiv #49 - Golf Tee

Sorry this one is a little late.

After we got home from the Richmond Folk Festival, some srs bsns fell into my lap and it had to be sorted.
