Popular Post Ivan Nikolaev Posted November 27, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 It was the most difficult and most interesting project. It all started with my friend’s request to make his motorcycle out of wood. When I did not find examples of the Internet, I decided to make a toy in the form of a puzzle. The material took a glued pine shield 37 mm thick. It turned out that such a blank does not fit into my scroll saw. After a little alteration of the mounts, everything worked out.At first I just wanted to cut out the fragments and round out the sharp edges a little. I spent one day, but I did not like the result, so I decided to give the puzzle more realistic shapes. I have little experience with woodcarving, so I was very afraid to spoil the model with one careless movement. All the work took about three weeks. Sometimes the work was done quickly, and on some days I just sat and looked at the individual parts and tried to imagine its future form. Of course I didn’t show my friend the whole process of work, but when he saw a photograph of the finished puzzle, he said only one phrase: “Shut up and take my money.” danny, Sycamore67, lawson56 and 16 others 18 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The widest part of the motorcycle is the rear boxes, and “mirrors” in the front. I can’t cut off the thickness and then stick it back. I had to very carefully reduce the thickness. Up the stairs. Rounding at the front > then the wing > then the front fork > then the brake disc > and at the end the thickness of the wheel. I can only say something about it. The thickness of the front wheel is 16mm, and 18mm of the rear wheel. I acted intuitively and when I close my eyes, I still feel these forms after a lot of time.
