Homemade DT Items

[ThroughHerEyesDude6]

Hey DTF,

Was wondering if anybody has any homemade DT items around their living space that they would like to share. Not sure if there was another thread like this, but I searched and didn't find anything. So, I'll go first.

My friend and I got the gumption back in 2007 to make DT stop signs. Originally, the idea was to make a stencil, go around another friend's neighborhood and stencil the actual stop signs. For fear of a prison sentence, we opted to just make them homemade. At the time, I was working at Value City (before it caved in on itself (I mean the actual store, not the furniture store (how many tangents can I fit in here), but I digress) horribly), and found that we stocked wooden stop signs for really cheap. So, one day we got some money together, bought two of them, and decided to make signs.

We spent the entire day making the stencil, planning out the colors, taping off the areas we wanted left alone, and then commenced. Just to be difficult, I decided to swap the colors for an individual effect.

In the end it was worth it



and it is still hanging on my wall.

I made a entertainment center in school and I painted the words "Dream Theater" and the logo on it. I don't have any pics though

It's not too late. A DT clock sounds like a cool idea.

Only if, at 6:00am, it played the opening to "6:00"!!!

Whatever you do, don't use spray paint. I did that with a Punisher stencil, and it bled through the cardboard underneath and turned up on the other side.

The only homemade item I can think of is a DT purse made out of duct tape by old DT.net/com poster. Elii, her name was.

I'm pretty sure someone on this forum made the Systematic Chaos upside down traffic light.

Amanda had made one for me. I also have the Jordan Rudess "I'd Hit it in 5/8" clock that JustinAiken had made for me and sent me for Secret Santa many years ago.

I remember that clock!

Back in highschool I cut out about 40 DT car emblems on a CNC plasma cutter. They came out pretty cool, but I never finished them... aka made them look pretty. I still have them all in raw form.

You've inspired me to created something. Except that I'm too lazy to.

You made a lego DT.

[ScioPath]

Was it a lego stage with the lego characters as band members?
