Something nerdy I did this weekend…

Tuesday, August 12th, 2008

OK I realize I do nerdy stuff EVERY weekend, but this kinda takes a different cake, metaphor….I don’t what I’m saying.

Let me explain a little bit first.  I recently finished a project with UWO’s USC –it’s top secret so shhhh– and ended up with this big pane of glass.  Just keep this is mind.  Now I have recently purchased a bunch of anime figures and need a place to display them, along with, well Superman and EVA Unit 02.

Oddly one problem, what to do with a random piece of glass and where to put my figures led to this:

You may notice the IRWIN wood clamps, also awesome for glass.  Will paint soon.

I put up four of them with ceiling hooks, an S hook and some patience.  The clamps work great due to there drilled out hole at the end of the cross bar, and the rubber pads avoid a possible shower of glass. 

Dangerous?  Mayber, but it is tempered and with 4 supports each holding 40 lbs, I think I’ll be OK.

Putting together more figures this week when I make time, so updates to come!  SO br00ders, roasters, grinders… ?  –we have to pick a name for you those of you reading this, seriously– Let me know what you think of my floating glass display shelf thing.
