Here are a couple more of my 1 day builds. (Stealing a line from Adam Savage.)
I loved Mythbusters. So I had to make my own sign. This was my first attempt at rust. I used several different colors layered and sand sprinkled on the wet paint between layers to give some texture. The letters are 3D printed and the plate is a laminated shelf section. The "welds" around the letters is hot glue. Everyone who sees it thinks it's steel.

I decided one day to make a UFO abduction desk lamp. Just because.

The UFO rotates and has LED's around the edge. The motor is in the UFO and I built my own brush system so the cow and clear tube don't rotate. There are 3 individual strands of wire running up the side of the tube to get power to the UFO and LED's. I'm using the guts from an old Harbor Freight flashlight to light the cow.
