Stargate Project

By
After watching loads of episodes(315 - 215 of SG1 and 100 of SGA) & movies(3) of the stargate series I decided to start designing a stargate in 3DS max. Then i made some sand and pyramids to go along with it and came up with this..

After that i decided to make the event horizon "kawoosh" effect.After working on that for about 5hrs i came up with this (Video still rendering) ...


I could not do any more because i got bored and also my laptop overheated to a point where it left its physical state and now exists only as energy (LOL)

Hobbiton Style Circular Door

Over the last year I have been working on the renovation/remodeling of my hotel in Nainital. Now we had a 1600 sq ft. area that was to be converted into a small restaurant for the hotel guests. Being a huge fan of LOTR I decided I wanted the entrance to the restaurant to look like a the door to Bilbo's house obviously with our own twist. Here are some pics of the build. The door is a two panel design completely circular and 7 feet tall. Its 1.4" thick and each wood panel weight in just over 50 kgs. Wood: Sagwan. The hinges were made from 0.25" thick mild steel and cut using hacksaws and files We still have some work left for the interiors and the tables and chairs and i post those as soon as they are done. PS: I'm really sorry for having used imperial units in this blog post but I used these units in my original design notes so thought that is what I should write about. All the other p

DIY Polariscope

A few days ago I was stuck in one of those YouTube loops (happens once a month) and I came across this awesome video on the  Prince Rupert's Drop  by SmarterEveryDay (Excellent channel BTW). About 3:00 minutes into the video they use something called a Polariscope to check out the stresses built up inside the Prince Rupert's Drop. Watching that I realized that I had all the things needed to build this at home. You need the following things for creating a Polariscope : 1) A polarized light source (White in color preferably) - Since almost all LCD's use polarized light to display images you could use your iPad or Laptop screen displaying a white image. I went for my 22" monitor as I needed a bigger surface. 2) A transparent object - Not all objects work well for this as some don't really have that much stress.            - Things that work well - Glass statues, use and throw forks and knives, glue sticks, etc.           - Things that don't work w

Carpentry - 1

I seem to have gotten a bit of the carpentry bug. The room with the Dragon Door  needed a table and as I did have some spare time I decided to build one. I'm a big fan of really long dining tables because somehow they feel grander. I decided to build one as long as the room would allow. Dimensions : 20 feet 10 inches (about 6.35 meters) x 3 feet 3 inches (about 1 meter) Height (table top) : 29.5 inches Seating capacity : 22 For the table top I decided to reclaim wood left over from the old doors and windows that were taken down during the renovation. I mixed and matched 7 kinds of wood (Tuna, Sal, Pine, Cheed, Sagwan, Sheesham & Deodar), glued and nailed them to a wooden skeleton structure (again made from reclaimed wood). For the legs I decided to make 6 circular rings to match the door of the room. The rings were made with Plyboard & MDF and later panelled with small pieces of deodar wood. After that I started work on the chairs. I
