Tech: Better than brass knuckles for a shifter

I've been working on carving a skull out of wax so that I can cast it in sterling silver and use it as a shift knob.
my tech is a .PDF file. HERE

it's a work in progress but I thought i would share. Last week there was a post about finding some plastic brass knuckles to cast as a shifter.
here is a bad picture of my skull so far. I plan to carve some crossbones to go with it. If you are intersted and want more info added to the .PDF tech let me know and i will update it. I haven't gone into any detail about how to carve, or the casting process but i can. when i finish and get it cast i'll post a finished product - kyle

 

I would think ..as a dentist.......your skull would have BETTER teeth......


Looks cool.......parts like this MAKE a vehicle..to me..anyway.

Looks cool Kyle! Put some of your dentist molding skills to work! What about a gold tooth? HAHAhahha Just razzing ya man--looks great!

 

duece - I had to work hard to make them look "bad"
and I had to redo the lower teeth because the bite was off

smitty - thats a great idea! - i'll put a gold lonestar on his central incisor! - too funny!
am I going to see you at roundup smitty?

 

Yes I'll be at the Round Up, see ya there!

 

Cool tech.
Skills are where you find them.

 

Cool. Continue on with the casting process. Much appreciated.

 

Here's a skull I bought over in the Philippines. It'smade from ebony, weighs about 15 pounds and stands 8 inches tall, so it's a bit big to use as a shifter knob. I thought I may stick it somewhere in the dash/interior area. I think it's way cool

 

In fact I've got a choice of three little 'gems'. I collect this shit, got a house full of it.

 

This is cool! I saw it in person last Friday, tried to get Kyle to build in lights in the eye sockets, connected to the tach, so the eyes would flash @ say 6500 RPM? Tell him when it's time to shift that Muncie he scored from me.

Wait a minute, Kyle worked on my teeth about 5 yrs ago.....those sorta look like mine...if you sell these you owe me a percentage for modeling!!

 

morrisman - some cool creatures there!
BellM - you let me work on you? - what were you thinkin?

 

Nice Tech. Very innarested in further "carve/cast" posts.

 

Thanks Slowlearner .. i get caught up in the details and obsess so it may be a few weeks before i can finish the tech... but i will take pictures as i go through the casting process and I'll carve a second "simple" skull with process pictures and descriptions for you. - kyle
