Popular Post munzieb Posted November 2, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 2, 2019 I've tapped out the Auburn, Duesenberg, Cord library by finishing up this 1936 Cord 810 Roadster. Plaque was 16 x 12, 1/8" BBPW with 1/4" backer. Finish of shellac and lacquer. Design (pixel gobbling) took, on and off, about 4 days but cutting about 1 1/2 days. I only broke 4 #02 puzzle blades. The Cord was a very unique car for its time. It was the first front wheel drive car with independent suspension and hidden front headlights. Too bad the company folded in 1937. There have been recreations of both the Auburn and Cord back in the '70's.

Denny Knappen Posted November 2, 2019 Report Share Posted November 2, 2019 That is an amazing cut and wonderful framing too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjR Posted November 2, 2019 Report Share Posted November 2, 2019 Great job on a great car. Another very unusual vehicle from the 30's is the Dodge Airflow tanker truck. BadBob, lawson56, munzieb and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was making so many frames for myself and my wife's paintings, I decided to make a miter sled for my table saw. Found the design from Woodsmith? I buy the trim moulding from Lowes. I flush mount it to the plaque with CA glue and use 1/2" pin nails from the back along with a sawtooth picture hanger. The trim is 5/8" wide and always figure that into the cut dimension of the board. I always sneak cut for a good fit. amazingkevin, Dave Monk, RabidAlien and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penquin Posted November 2, 2019 Report Share Posted November 2, 2019 Great cut, that was an exceptional car when it came out. Way ahead of its time. Thanks for showing us this work. jim munzieb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OzarkSawdust Posted November 3, 2019 Report Share Posted November 3, 2019 (edited) Really cool looking cut! You did a super job on it. I grew up in Tulsa not far from where the Cord replicas were built. A high school friend's older brother had one...for a while. After the wreck he never fixed it...but he did pay a hefty ticket for drag racing on a public street. Beautiful car.

Scrappile Posted November 3, 2019 Report Share Posted November 3, 2019 (edited) Ahh, the old beauties.... Great picture, well scrolled. In old cars, my dream would be the Auburn Speedster... Not sure why, never even see a real one. I have see a couple Chords similar to your picture. Closest I have come to a Speedster is the model I built.

I bought an Integra I-Box Joint box tool for my table saw. Once it is set up, it make quick work of joint box boxes. One is bubinga and oak and the other is oak and poplar. namunolie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
