As an addendum to making this, rather than cutting a groove with the table saw, use 2 each 1/4" stips and glue a 1/8" narrow strip between them to create the groove for the individual 1/8" plaques to side thru. Sand the edges of the plaques so they slide better. The tabs are just 1/4" pieces to fit and glued in place. I cut the fonts but text printed and glued on with contact glue will work also.

Great job! Almost could hear the engines roar!

All nice. Really busy guy!

That was a great windup but I think the pitch was a slider! Hah!

The clock is only a "prop" for the checklist. Great project but who sells a clock kit with only a 6 hour mainspring???
-
Don't you "Fret" I'll hear about it. LOL

Just remember that excess alcohol at bed time can affect the accuracy of the checklist! Luckily, I haven't watered the back door lights yet! LOL!

It's funny that the things you forget before you go to bed usually kick you in the butt in the morning! It seems I forgot to lock one of the two locks on the back door. Guess who reminded me about it in the morning. Decided to make a checklist (like my old Air Force days) to keep the complaining down. All strips are 3/4 x 1/2 and dadoed with a table saw blade width on the 1/2" sides. "Task" names were 1/8" BBPW scraps with Arial font. Red color is not ready, Green is good. I did abbreviate for front and back locks/lights and dog water. Made a French cleat to hang it. All quiet now!

Nicely done, especially like the font inlay work.!

I use acrylic paint (usual 2 coats) for my backers. It dries very fast. Mostly black paint. Check my profile and attachments for some examples.

Really like these elegant boxes, especially the contrasting wood colors!

Stunning!

Well heck! I used to live off Holden Rd in Youngsville. SSV is a great source anything involving scrolling. Members gladly offer up a lot of helpful information and ideas. Welcome aboard!

I watch the Motor trend network and and have seen a lot of recreations. There are several Boat Tail Auburns and Duesenbergs. It would be great to see this car recreated. Could be that Ford bought Ghia and there would be a question on diminishing the value of the existing 2 cars. They last sold for $1.4 mil.

Welcome to the village from the upstate of SC. Lots of great info and ideas in this group. Look forward to seeing your work.

I never really use this word, but the first time I saw this car, I was enthralled! It has an interesting history. The car has a 1953 Model 62 Cadillac chassis and the body was designed and built by custom coach builder, Ghia of Italy. It had a V-8 390 ci engine and weight over 4,400 lbs! The most interesting part is that only two were made and one belonged to the actress, Rita Hayworth. There are assorted articles and photos online about this car. As usual, the design took longer that the cutting. I did have to do some design changes on the fly while cutting and painted in the bridges on the tires and headlight enclosure. The Caddy emblem on the hood was getting a little fragile, so I took out some of the cuts. It was a fun and challenging cut. On to another project.

Greetings from the "Upstate" of South Carolina. Your projects came out very nice. A good saw and the right blades can make all the difference. I could expect that by Christmas, you'll be making swiboggens and pyramids. Great gifts! Keep making saw dust and having fun!
-
Ah! Space, no matter how much you have, you can always use more. Good to hear you can find what you need. I understand Malta is a small island but many great craftsmen, especially you!
-
You mentioned a few different types of wood you work with. How available are woodworking supplies where you live?
-
Absolutely stunning, especially using a fret saw. I've done a few portraits and the two hardest things to get right are the "light of eye" and HAIR! I imagine shaving is out of the question but have you ever considered combining pyrography with scroll saw?
-
I really like the detail of the cut and the background color is outstanding. Another great job!
-
I am overwhelmed by all your kind comments and likes for this project. I like to do things that are a challenge and until I figured out the correct angle and direction of the cuts, it was a challenge. I will say that enough coats of black lacquer will cover a multitude of screw ups. Even screwing up the black lacquer can be fixed with more coats of black lacquer (and make it look better) Thanks again. On to the next project.

Impressive work. The wood colors POP!
-
Sorry, sometimes I have a problem "splaining" things. Lucy says I should ask Ricky how I did that. It may have been before cocktail hour before I wrote that down. LOL!

I thought I would try something different. I made my standard joint box but I wanted to do a angle cut pattern on the sides. I did a 4 degree cut on 1/2 poplar with a #2 skip tooth blade. I did a test piece to make sure I was going in the right direction. I marked all the cutouts to get them in the right place. I always made sure the base of the blade was pointed toward the inside of the waste part of the cut. I actually didn't screw it up! Then I cut the outside in the opposite direction and glued and reinserted the inside pieces. I cut off the extrusions with a bandsaw and sanded flush in the inside. Once I looked at what I had done, I realized that the relief height was 1/8"!?!?. Well I did learn something but decided to just scroll out the top pattern and just glued it on top. Finish was black lacquer and antique gold acrylic on the pattern. I guess , if you don't try, you don't know. Still happy with the box.
