Essential Items for your Geek Man Cave - Avenger's Style
Inspired by a friends shameless attempt to get me to make him some cool Super Hero stuff, I went looking for the best Avengers dyi projects I could find. I could not believe how many projects are out there! These are the ones that caught my attention, either because of the finished product or just for the maker’s style.
I have not actually made any of this stuff, but it they are on my ever expanding wish list.
Thor’s Hammer – Mjolnir

This one looks tough. Not so much from a technical perspective, but from more of an artistic one. But come on, wouldn't it be cool to have one of these things (bolted, welded or cemented) in your house for your friend to enjoy? "So sorry. You must not be worthy."
Captain America’s Shield

I have had my eye on this tutorial for awhile now. I even have one of the "discs of death" sleds it uses as the basis. My hesitation? Those are perfect circles.
Iron Man’s ARC Reactor
This Dustin McClean of AWE me could be my current favorite maker. Sure the ARC Reactor is cool, but that’s not it. He is a geek hoarder! Check out the items he has in the background. Multiple Star Wars X-wing pilot helmets! I know that’s a Flux Capacitor. Listen at the end when he shows his wife what he has made and gets a, “Oh Nice”. Been there.
Last but not least…
Loki’s Scepter
Ok, so he is not an Avenger, and well, he is kind of an ass. But he is funny.
