What's on your workbench? (no Star Wars, Marvel or DC stuff)

I too have many projects that have moved off the bench to make room for my most recent ones.
Golden Gun:

Logan's Run 3D printed Sandman DS Flame Pistol that produces flame (to be assembled and tested):

This is a light made using water bottles.
A way to recycle them without using a landfill.
I call it the "Wattle Sphere" (water bottle sphere):

I took apart and modified a perfectly good Tricopter and added it to a foam cutout which resembles a spinner:

I'm almost finished with my new Blast Shield Helmet. It's been a challenge. Not because I haven't done it before (this is my fourth version of this) but because the kit I purchased was so poorly made that I had a LOT of clean up to do and major trouble getting the blast shield attached because it was so warped. I'm mostly happy with it and will be even happier when I get to do the acrylic wash to weather it.

I swear there are times throughout a lot of projects where I simultaneously love and hate it. Like one minute I will love what it looks like and the next I just want to throw it away in frustration. Sometimes the build process is a slog and others it's a joy. This one wasn't as much fun to build as the last one I did.
 
I posted an earlier shot of these in progress, here are the finished, hardened steel 16th century gauntlets (Based on an armour in the Wallace collection - London)

Thought I’d try my hand at designing a baby Groot in carbonite. Have seen one on Thingaverse and a few tossed around these parts. Not super accurate but is fun to pass the time and print on the 3D printer hopefully. Still have a lot of detail to add.

Workbench number one is mostly covered in clutter:

Workbench Two has this beauty:

Making other parts of it too:

Then there's the power loader parts:

Since I'm out of workbench space, these things are wherever else I can find horizontal space:

There's more, but all of my progress pics lately are Alien bits:

Finally getting around to sanding and priming BSG clamshell blasters (thingiverse), and ESB Hoth trench trooper antennas and greeblies (Etsy). Printed them and left everything in a box all summer. Workbench is gravel and paper for this round ;)

updated, finally finished the BSG clamshells this year - just need some screws for the handles and one part near the trigger guard...ready for the next virtual con
