The Custom House (Irish: Teach an Chustaim) is a neoclassical 18th century building in Dublin, Ireland which houses the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government. It is located on the north bank of the River Liffey, on Custom House Quay between Butt Bridge and Talbot Memorial Bridge.
It was designed by James Gandon to act as the new custom house for Dublin Port and was his first large scale commission. For his assistants Gandon chose Irish artists such as Meath stone-cutter Henry Darley, mason John Semple and carpenter Hugh Henry. Every available mason in Dublin was engaged in the work. When it was completed and opened for business on the 7th November 1791, it cost £200,000 to build – a huge sum at the time. The four facades of the building are decorated with coats-of-arms and ornamental sculptures (by Edward Smyth) representing Ireland's rivers. Another artist, Henry Banks, was responsible for the statue on the dome and other statues.
As the port of Dublin moved further downriver, the building's original use for collecting custom duties became obsolete, and it was used as the headquarters of local government in Ireland. During the Irish War of Independence in 1921, the Irish Republican Army burnt down the Custom House, in an attempt to disrupt British rule in Ireland. Gandon's original interior was completely destroyed in the fire and the central dome collapsed. A large quantity of irreplaceable historical records were also destroyed in the fire. Despite achieving its objectives, the attack on the Custom House was a setback for the IRA as a large number of Volunteers were captured either during the attack or when falling back.
After the Anglo-Irish Treaty, it was restored by the Irish Free State government. The results of this reconstruction can still be seen on the building's exterior today – the dome was rebuilt using Irish Ardbraccan limestone which is noticeably darker than the Portland stone used in the original construction. This was done as an attempt to promote Irish resources.
Further restoration and cleaning of the stonework was done by an Office of Public Works team in the 1980s.

Since I was in an electronics mood, I wanted to put together my own customised lamppost.
The original plan was to drill a hole through the lamppost large enough to accommodate an LED and two wires. Unfortunately the plastic twisted as I drilled through it, leaving only the base intact. While most people would have thrown the whole thing away, I decided to improvise.
The lamppost was reconstructed using sheet styrene tubes of varying widths, both to reconstruct the body and hold the globe (which wouldn't normally fit) in place.
The very simple circuit is fitted inside of a tiny project box with a single switch, and runs on a "coin" battery.
And for anyone who's going to say "you could/should have used Life Lites"... shut up.

This sweet girl was born on the same day as the King of Rock and Roll: Elvis Presley. She is a bit shy but once she gets to know you she's very sweet and funny too!
Her base doll is a Very Vicky, FBL mold (my favorite mold!) and she came to me all the way from Canada to Alaska, then traveled with my moving cargo all the way to Texas! She's been patiently waiting for her turn for months!
Hope you love her! :D

I picked these old Infinity Studio 150's out of a dump, the cabinets were in excellent shape but the drivers were all shot. I had some drivers floating around that I put in. Some JBL GT 150D dual 4 ohm voice coil woofers, Speakercraft 16 ohm 5 inch midranges and some wax sealed JBL 075 8 ohm tweeters. Insulated and braced the cabinets, built new grilles (hence the veclro). Bi-amping the woofers and tweeters, running the original crossovers for the JBL 075 tweeters and custom built some crossovers for the woofer midranges. The speakers sound a lot better then I thought they would, had to tone the tweeters back a little, but these speakers play nice and low and the midrange is nice and warm

My custom Shockwave from Revlimit arrived this weekend! Knowing my oh-so-poor painting skills first-hand, Adam agreed to paint up Shocky for me, making me eternally grateful. Can you believe that most of this guy was replicated and custom-molded? Amazing!

First custom doll, a little big eyes. Yes they are ugly (sorry) but I brought this one for practice at customising blythe dolls. She has had major surgery, I think maby a bit too much. Her lips are so wonky, oh well.
Her nose looks way better now though, I think.
