  1. Dick, that is absolutely stunning! I have to believe that was a difficult project especially since its a one-off. Well done!
  2. The original Photo. This was the hardest project I've ever done. I am not a designer, I'm only a pixel eater using MS 3D paint. Too old to learn newer software. Paul did fantastic cutting. Something to be very proud of. It only took him so long to finish because he kept going back to playing his street organ, Ha!
  3. I agree, better than the aerodynamic turtles we have today.
  4. Loving those blades. Thanks for the help!
  5. Thanks Paul, The train is in your court Ha!
  6. I'm waiting for you to post.
  7. I found a picture of a 30's car that I knew I had to cut. Its a 1938 Cadillac V-16. Only a very few were made though there was some talk that Cadillac wanted to make the v-16 back in '08. Didn't happen. Plaque is 16 x 12 BBPW on 1/4" backer. Shellac and Gloss Lacquer finish and help from Denny at Artcrafter for "0" skiptooth blades.
  8. Beautiful top-notch quality work!
  9. Fantastic cutting! Love the fine details. Always a quality job.
  10. I've been on a few sea planes, Bombardier CL215 and Albatross. Always a great experience. PBY would be on the top of my list.
  11. Found a picture of a PBY I really liked. I did one in 2020 but I like this one better. 1/8" BBPW on 1/4" backer. Shellac and Gloss Lacquer.
  12. Wonderful lookng project. Need to learn how to play.
  13. Wondering how you were doing on that project. Did you find all the equipment you needed?
  14. Thanks Dick I always appreciate you kind comments. I just finished up some more moulding boxes but my wife still needs to paint them. I'll post them when she is done. I'm starting to feel a little boxed in.
  15. Great job on the F-4. Love the contrasting colors. Saw alot of them while I was stationed in Germany in the late 60's.
  16. Wanted to make some small gift boxes and ordered some mahogony. 6 each 24 x 4" 1/8" boards (should have ordered 5-6" wide boards to better fit pattern). Stack cut 2 at a time. finish with gloss laquer. I had done the 2 center boxes with bubinga wood previously but it is getting very expensive. (twice as expensive as mahogony) Fun cutting.
  17. I have a EX-16 and my deck is so scuffed up so I added a magnetic sheet on top. I wax the top to keep it slick, a little Mcguiers does the trick and keeps it slick
  18. Thank you Dick. Your Kind comments always encourage me to do better.
  19. Thanks, this is very doable and the lacquer thing is not that complicated.
  20. Thanks Paul. I need another project. Waiting to see you post the train project.
  21. I had enough window frame molding to make another box. I had stack cut the rose pattern so I needed to put this somewhere also. I did amp it up by scrolling a pattern on the sides. They sort of disapeared once I started spray painting the black lacquer so my wife gold painted around the pattern along with the feet. There are probably 10 coats of lacquer on the top. It goes down fast and dries fast and I started wet sanding after 5 coats each coat. It came out very deep and shiny. The trick is to progressively go to a finer sand paper and to make sure there are no shiny parts between each coat. Amazing how hard lacquer gets.
  22. Funny how she snuck that into the picture! Its a slow train but it will get there. Happy New Year!
  23. My Sister just sent me pictures of the hanging jewelry box mounted on the wall and filled with her jewelry. Looks pretty good but probably should have added a few more hooks.
  24. Good days, bad days. Tries to do too much, slow going. Next week will be 8 weeks since accident.
