Super Hero Logos

Geoffrey — Wed, 09 May 2012 02:49:51 +0000

My boys (and girls) LOVE Super Hero capes. Because I had a hard time finding images that I liked, I made some, and will share them with you. It’s a PDF, and you can choose which pages you want to print. Having the their cape be their initial rather than an off the rack version makes them feel loved and special, and I encourage you to try it! Even if you have NO sewing skills, you would be surprised what even a flour-sack dish towel with the paper pinned on will do for a 3-year-old’s energy level. Good Luck and Have fun!

Trip to Ophir

Geoffrey — Tue, 08 May 2012 03:33:56 +0000

My brother-in-law and sister invited us to Ophir to go camping. I am not a huge fan of camping. I like everything leading up to sleeping in a tent, and then everything the next day, just the overnight part that is frustrating. I HATE being cold. Yeah, there are things you can do about that, but I cannot count the number of times I have awoken at 3 something a.m. and just laid there frustrated waiting until the point I could just get up and make a fire and continue the day.

Anyway, while we were out there I took a ride on the 4 wheeler and took some nice pictures to share. Prints are available here or here

Winding Road HDR

Geoffrey — Mon, 07 May 2012 17:02:59 +0000

Okay, so this is my first attempt at HDR (High Dynamic Range) Photography. It’s more what the eyes see, but exaggerated. To create this photo, I used 3 photos. One that exposed the photo for the brightness of the sky, one in the middle, and one for the brightness of the ground.

Ground Exposure

Average Exposure

Sky Exposure

They are then combined in Photoshop (or other programs) to get the best of each photograph. It turned out pretty well in my opinion. What do you think?

Homemade Skee Ball Game

Geoffrey — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 03:14:29 +0000

Ever wanted to play skee ball in your own backyard? Of course you have! Well, how might one go about making one, you ask. Today is your lucky day! I will show you how to make a functional (if not adorable) skee ball game.

First, start with a piece of 1/4 inch MDF; Mine was 24×24.

Draw 3 concentric circles. I used a pushpin in the center and some yarn to make the circles. Size isn’t necessarily important, as long as there is plenty of room for the ball to fit. (I am using a golf ball for size)

I used garden edging for the walls of each circle.

Then I drilled holes at what would become the bottom using a hole saw, and used a router to create a “dotted” line around the circles. At this point, math could have come in to make things easier; Using a protractor, geometry, and ruler would have helped make things even. However, I couldn’t find a protractor or ruler, and geometry was a bit rusty, so I just estimated.

I had to cut of the bottom edge off the garden edging, where there was a flange.

Where the ends met, I used some electrical tape and a small dowel in the top edge.

I then laid the circle over the template and marked where to cut the slots. I kept the tabs, stuck them through the holes, and then bent the flanges back and forth in an alternating pattern. It didn’t work perfectly, but eventually it fit.

After trying to get a small enough circle for the center, I realized, that wasn’t going to happen. So, I used a large mailing tube, cut down to length to match the height of the edging.

I then stapled down the edges with a staple gun (though this didn’t work as well as I had hoped because the upper ridge wouldn’t let me get too close to the bend. Another note: Start in the center and work outward, I couldn’t get the stapler to the inner circle since the outside one was already put on.

Finally I covered the whole thing with black cloth tape to cover all the raw edges, staples, etc. Then I added some address stickers for scoring.

Thanksgiving Point Statuary

Geoffrey — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 20:24:12 +0000

Along with the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving point, there are some statues depicting the life of Christ. Only 3 are finished; Calming the Storm, Gathering the Chicks, and Carrying the Cross. They are amazing. The Calming the Storm one is at least 16 feet square, made of bronze. If you live in Utah, you should really go see them.
