Random photos: Got anything interesting, unique, strange?

Is it any good? Or is it just glorified Night Train?

Reviews seem good, for whatever that is worth.

How about this strange piece of machinery. Saw this in town today and after I picked up some ammo at Cal-Ranch, I was able to find it in a adjacent parking lot. I saw it up close before it made a right turn and had to track it down.

If they where going for unique….nailed it! That takes a special individual to create/drive that.
 
For @Squatch - after about a 3 month dry spell, where I built inventory to 5 on hand, finally sold a sistrum:

The buyer opted for the scarab cartouche, one of my less popular options. I used my last pair on this one, had to order more!

Why is the scarab cartouche not a popular option? I would think that as hard as a handmade sistrum would be to find (I assume), that a potential customer would likely want one with all the bells and whistles (and scarab cartouches) they could find. :unsure:

Nice work Zorba ! Not that I know a damn thing about a sistrum ! But it looks good and must jiggle jiggle.

I dunno - The Goddess Isis is, by far, the most popular. Its traditional to have the Goddess Hathor on one, but I haven't been able to find any suitable Hathor stampings, so Isis is the next best thing. Hamsa is popular as well.

Well I really learned something today. Thanks Man !

Glad ya liked it. I like learning new and obscure things myself - and Sistra are pretty obscure! Leave it to me to get interested in making the darn things - which reminds me, I need to make another batch of bustle pillows for sale, another obscure thing I got into.
 
Found this in the yard and a fresh hole nearby. Not sure if the plan was to burry it but looks like the breast meat eaten off it. Assuming a fox but who knows.
