Something for the Weekend - Part 231 - Cutting Edge

[davescm]

Hi,
We had some great entries to our last, 'Northern Isles' challenge. Thanks to all who took part.

This week we start with a simple object - a circular saw blade. What can you make with it?

The “rules”:

• Use the starter image as at least part of your own image entry.
• Anything goes, as long as it meets the forum rules on decency, copyright, etc.
• Anyone, and everyone, is welcome to have a go, whether you are a complete beginner or a Photoshop expert. This is not just for our forum “regulars”.
• There are no prizes apart from the chance to practice, show off your skills, or bring a bit of humor and fun. Don't be shy, join in and have a go!
• The starter image is made available for you to use in this forum challenge only.

To download the starter image, hover over the image and click on the circle with the arrows at the top right. Then, when the image opens in its own window, right click and choose “Save Image As/Save Target As” (or similar depending on your browser). It is a png so is already cut out from the background for you - an easy start to 2025. 🙂

When posting back your image — please use the blue reply button in this first post and use the 'Insert Photos' icon at the top of the reply box. If posting a comment on someone else’s entry, then please use the grey reply button next to their image post.

Have fun!

Cutting edge music from SFTW

You beat me to it @Ged_Traynor ! I had the same idea!

Jane

[Ged_Traynor]

There's plenty of beats in the new SFTW vinyl Jane 🤣

Great minds think alike 👍

[JR Boulay]

It was my first idea too!

[fbeaume]

Love this concept! Well done!

[Jacob Bugge]

It seems to be surprisingly soft music, or rather scratchy, depending on which way it actually goes, Ged.

Maybe just like They're coming to take me away, Ha-Haaa.

[davescm]

Nice one Ged, a great idea and very nicely executed.

Dave

[Dean_Utian]

Nice one @Ged_Traynor 🙂

[jane-e]

Playing catch!

Jane

[fbeaume]

Hardcore game!
Great idea!

[Jacob Bugge]

 Jane, is that a lucky quarter (nothing red along it), or is it razor sharp?

[davescm]

Oh dear, who will show the picture a few seconds later? Will it turn out well? 😮

Blurring the distant image is a nice touch, Jane.

Unfortunately, I can't get the next frame out of my mind. The one where her head is bouncing off the floor. 😞

[Dean_Utian]

I'll opt out of this game of catch 🙂

I like the fact that it looks like the girl is smiling.

"C'mon! Throw it!"  lol

[JR Boulay]

Watch out!

[davescm]

There is a strange buzzing sound coming from my watch...

The second one could be the next USS Enterprise, going boldly...  🙂

[Trevor.Dennis]

Did you build and render the ratchett frame JR?  Nice job if you did.

[JR Boulay]

No, it comes from the SFTW221: https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/something-for-the-weekend-part-221-wa...

I thought I was losing my marbles for a moment there, but it turns out I was between Dublin and Reykjavík on the 16th when this thread was started, so 'mostly' missed it.  I noticed that I did 'Like' one of the uploads (This Star Trek impression by The OriginalGC).

I hate to miss these threads, so here is my late entry.

BTW  The inspiration for the pallet fork comes from Dave taking up watch repair rather seriously.  That's proper watches that don't have batteries.  I'm taking credit for this weeks SFTW which was inspired by my treating myself to a new saw.  I'd say that my workshop was especially messy, but that would be a lie, as it's mostly like that. 😞

[davescm]

I like the shiny metal balance wheel, Trevor.
The inspiration for the starter images comes from many places. Sometimes it is something I've been doing, as was the case with the palette fork, or sometimes a conversation, as was the case with your table saw. Sometimes it is just walking past a place or object. I do mean to write them down and make a list to choose from, but rarely do. 🙂 ways

I love to see how the starter image is changed in so many different ways.

They say Cheetahs have sharp vision.

I'd be more woprried about their sharp teeth!
