It's called what did you do today.


I'll start.

Had to work this morning, got home around 1:00pm

Sent wife out to mow lawn, I had shit to do.

My son wants to be R2D2 for Halloween... Nobody makes a R2D2 costume for a 7 year old. Cutting up a trash can to make one, looks like you cut up a trash can and slapped some paint on it.

Step 1: Buy 12" concrete tube

Step 2: Start cutting with sawzall

Step 3: Realize that was a bad idea and continue with jig saw... Because my brother moved to Seattle with my table saw FML... But I digest.

Step 4: Think to myself... Myself, I should take pictures of this and get the camera.



Step 5: Primer and paint tube... Still need to cut it down some more, but that will come later.



Step 6: Start forming the head piece. Basic structure to attach chicken wire and then paper-mache to. This is going to be attached to an old bicycle helmet.



Step 7: Drink a beer, because dammit I earned it. Take another picture.



Step 8: Do quick sketch of R2's body...



Step 9: Spray adhesive is your friend. Still need to cut the bottom down some more... I'll do that later



Step 10: Drink another beer, call it a night, forget about how much is still left to do and post thread on IA.



Who else wants to play?
