Decided To Subtly Improve This Codpiece Design. I Decided It Was A Bit Too Flat, And Needed To Curve

Decided to subtly improve this codpiece design. I decided it was a bit too flat, and needed to curve to hug the hips better, and it needed a bit bigger of a bulge for obvious reasons. Updated version first, previous iteration second.

I’d originally designed this one physically, though. I’d traced the pattern geometry into CAD to laser cut, but it turns out that (as best I can tell) reconstructing a 3D form from its flattened geometry is an unsolved problem. So what I thought would be a quick edit turned into rebuilding it from the ground up.

I’m pretty happy with the update, but I think I got only about halfway to where I wanted it. Gotta pump the curvature up a bit more again still. Should be faster to make the tweaks next time though.

4 oz vegetable-tanned leather, designed by me, cut with a laser, then dyed gold and assembled by hand.

An oldie but a classic. I think this was my first mask that was designed to fit with glasses. I really like the shape of the big sideburns, though I'm thinking about updating the texture details along the edge.

Just shipped out this pride bracelet! The black rings are rubber, so it stretches onto your hand.

You can get your own here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/76894590/rainbow-and-black-japanese-bracelet-thin

It'd also be fun to make this design with other pride flag colors, so hit up that personalization option if that's your jam! The black can get swapped for other colors too!

Just finished up this big matching set of a scale necklace, 2 pairs of earrings, and 2 bracelets.

All made with anodized aluminum scales and stainless steel rings. Available over on my Etsy shop, I can do custom patterns like this with basically any of my designs.

Finally gave this unicorn his horn.

Having tested a few of my chainmail pieces to failure, I can attest that in the long run, the failure mode is the stainless steel rings eroding through the aluminum scales. Not rings getting pulled open. This takes 5+ years of daily wear for jewelry, and primarily appears at the point of greatest strain and movement, being the connection between the last scale and the adjustment chain.

For my larger chainmail projects, I once had the pleasure of repairing a tail that the client had apparently worn daily for over a year. Seeing which scales had worn through allowed me to specifically reinforce those points of failure, to even further extend the lives of my future tails.
