February 1st, 2010Completed: Topsy-Turvy Tea Set
January 26th, 2010I hope you like the final state of this project. It was quite a bit of work, but now I have a fantastical home decoration or centerpiece. I may eventually list it for sale on Etsy.com, although for now we’re treating it as a quirky new house guest.

It is not notably functional; although I have had friends offer their suggestions. Sadly most good ideas ( “Make it a lamp!” ) would require a completely new build: utility would have to be part of it’s design from the beginning of the project. It does however make a nice candle holder / nightlight:

Nightlight mode: activated.
Topsy-Turvy Tea Set
January 10th, 2010I came up with a quick project to do this weekend, but there were some challenges I hadn’t expected.
Pictures from the build below.
The first pickle I encountered was that it can be very tricky to drill through porcelain:
1) Too much pressure and you break this brittle material,
2) Go too fast without lubrication and you can overheat you drill bit,
3) Using lubrication virtually prevents drill bit from digging at all,
4) You must use a drill bit specifically designed for glass & tile with a carbide tip. If you can’t get your hands on that at least use a masonry bit.

It makes a great desktop picture. Feel free.
