Makin dust

About 1/3 done this already.










Awesome woodgrain. If I did what I hoped, then a neat part of the grain looks like the rear tire is burning out and the hood looks like its got heat waves coming off of it. More later.

Nice find

Found this the other day in the garbage. Works awesome! Want to know who made it and all that so posted these in a newsgroup I`m in.

clipped from www.scrollsawer.com I knew this group would have some answers lol. Thanks for all of your help so far. Here`s some pics. I`ve already had offers to sell it. Now I`m even MORE curious as to what I got (I found it in the garbage). I am getting my Mother to give me a quick lesson on it in a couple weeks, lol. Thanks again, Gary. Subscribe Today!

Fire Chicken part 2

So the third idea was to make it big. I said that takes time.... but ok. So I added like 3 inches to it.



Here`s the wood I selected.... this is live so I may sound like i`m babbling but as I get it i`ll update it... almost like anyone actually gives a crap.







Cut it down....











Planned it down from .69 inch to .48 inch (17.5mm to 13mm)

Sanded it for about an hour with electric random orbital sander. Squared sides then rounded edges.







So the 4th idea was a mirror idea. At first, I thought not likely, now i`ve been working it too. Car will be etched in mirror, then the wood frame will have a wood tree motif to it. Not asking for much.....


Well thats it for tonight. Start cutting the pattern this weekend. I`ll update often. Oh my house smells amazing with this wood cut in here.......... love it.

Fire Chicken

Been working on a new project. Decided to motivate myself by bloggin it.. kinda pressure myself into hurrying up.


The following is a paid job. Was asked to do a car for someone.

This is the car....













Not a good picture to work with but I took the challenge. Actually was asked to do one with people beside the car, Worked for hours and hours and then admited defete on that one, had an awesome car pattern but couldn`t get the people to look human... so went for this pic. Asked for qa better pic.... but oh well.


Then the hunt for wood. Not much available right now here. But with a little luck I think I found something I liked. Then I was asked to change the pattern yet again. I`m talking a month in, I`m asked to change 4 times what I was thinking. well.....


Stay tuned, the story continues.....

Thanks

Good times... do`nt know what it means either.... just a sad sad comentary..... lol.

too many ideas

yep, of course now that I`m hired to do something specific, I`m all over the place. I realized a pattern for a project I was asked to do some time ago. I have a plan for a bar mirror. I see new ideas... but don`t have the opportunity now to try them.


I have NOOOOOOOOOO idea how to do the project I`m paid to do, and I`m on a deadline. I have a new idea but I don`t have the time to try it out, gonna try it in a newsgroup. Awesome resourses there.... maybe give others good ideas...


Till later..... i`m working on all this as we speak.

Actualy I was working on a idea for my new bedroom lol.... see, all over the place
