Hi all

I made this for QPT. And sence its over now i thought i would share it.Its based on one from Rugby. Its 5' X 17" X 23". I'll take some better pics and put them up in a couple days so you can see the chisel work on it also.

Very nice!

Do the wheels always stay on or do they come off?

Well, to be fair, everybody "wins" at QPT. There are just 2 "best of show" prizes awarded as well.

Your chest was awesome, you should be very proud.

That's the new hottness. I love it, great work.

Lol concurred...that IS the new hottness. No more old and busted here.

fungi forge · Post by **fungi forge** » Mon Jan 25, 2010 4:28 pm

Steven H: i wouldnt be afraid to use it as a bench just not on a hill...no breaks

InsaneIrish: Everyone there does win. I think it was a little advanced for the event and i made sure the judges knew i wasnt there to win anything and was mainly there to try and help promote metalworking. Now come tri-levels thats different. lol

Effingham: I think id have more fun with that chest than mine lol

Damn you Effingham. Good thing my boss wasn't behind me. I can justify pictures of furniture at work but not that!

Sean

P.S. Damn nice chest but I'm curious what it looks like without the wheels. And do you have a picture of the extant piece?

fungi forge · Post by **fungi forge** » Mon Jan 25, 2010 6:48 pm

Sean heres a pic of the original. I'll get you a picture of it without the wheels when i get some of the chaseing.

OH most certainly. Your entry would easily be better suited for Kingdoms A&S and possibly Try-Level competition.

QPT is more geared toward the beginner as an 'Ata Boy!' style event. Allows newer A&S people to showcase their skill and get helpful pointers without the added stress of a "real" competition.

I certainly hope you enter into Kingdom A&S.

fungi forge · Post by **fungi forge** » Tue Jan 26, 2010 11:29 am

I'm definatly entering kingdom A&S. Im haveing problems finding info on what im really wanting to make tho.

Crap. Looking at this thread has got me thinking, I need more boxes.

Way to go Fungi. Way to start a new obsession. As if we didn't have to contend enough with "armor porn" and "weapon envy".
