I certainly wasn’t going to NOT use my laser to make at least a part of my Halloween costume

This was my first totally from scratch (heh) project on Inkscape. I prototyped on my ubiquitous amazon boxes, then once it felt good I used the copy paste to cut out 6 identical copies of the claw on draft board. I ran them over the belt sander to bevel the top and bottom for a bit more shape, then a nice coat of spray paint finished them off. I used some threaded rod that could be bent to attach them together, then some putty epoxy to add some rigidity and more of a grip. There are still some refinements I’d make if I did it agin, but it came together really well, at least to my eyes
