  • Fishy Soap Dish-y???
    May 26 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    This month's Challenge was to make a fish themed soap dish - cause who dosen’t want one of those.

    Kipling made a bookend like fish scene with LED lights but his epoxy might hide some of his details while Andrew tried epoxy for the first time making three different designs and settled on a sardine can.

    This month our esoteric eggel has us trying new languages.

  • Six Cans and a Candle
    Apr 20 2026

    This month's Challenge was to create a candle holder with 6 tall beer cans.

    This challenge was just that: a challenge to create something out of such thin material. Kipling used the colour on the cans to make leaves for a fall tree, while Andrew used bare cans to create marsh grass with a duck lifting off.

    This month our esoteric eggel has us reminiscing about the best worst beer we have ever tried.

  • a Shrike is not a mammal!

    This month's challenge will be to create an award using an animal from March Mammal Maddness.

    Kipling chased out a Northern Shrike (and yes we are aware a shrike is not a mammal) and got creative with the colouring and name plaque. Andrew made a Thylacine trophy with a neat pedestal using some creative welding.

    This month we talk about annoying consumables and our esoteric eggel gets us talking about animals we want to morph into.
