Dragonkort Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 well its been a busy couple of days even if I haven't been able to get into the workshop. you see im trying to reorganize my craft room and I can only expend energy for a short time before I have to stop sit and try to catch my breath !! lol but im beginning to see a light at the end of my craft room reorganizing. lol (spike spent a week last month reorganizing my wood shop its so nice now!!! now were just waiting to see how long it will take me to make it a mess again lol) but I thought id put up some pics of some more of my finished projecrs. now I only started deleting the pics from my desk top that iv put up so you might see something iv already put up once before. now heres my first compound cut project. I used the scrap wood from the dalphan to make the base and water waves.the next one is a seagull sitting on what hopefuly looks like one of the pillars that boats are tied to and I added a sea shell just because lol. the base is a piece of drift wood my friend gave me after she went up north and was walking along one of the beaches up there. then theres the snowmen and deer I made. I used a piece of a fake pine tree for the tree . the tree is sitting in a little brown wooden bead. bead juelwy is one craft that I am NOT good at. lol the friend I taught to scroll tried to teach me how to do beading....it was NOT a pretty sight!! lol then theres the last 2 signs.. im going to try to reduce the size of the don't text and drive pattern so I can make some with a string or something on it for people to hang from there rear view mirrors. and last but not least is the no horseing around sign. I am hoping that tomorrow I will be able to at least put some patterns on wood! lol I have several different patterns printed out that I want to make. and I still have to finish carving my little bull dog and then paint it and my little kitten.

Dragonkort Posted March 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 thanks everybody.... of all the wood working I do I like the compound cutting ones too. I have all the compound cutting books I could find and the ones from the winerfild collection, as well as all I could find on line. lol and yes kevin I taught myself by reading books. lol I have a book for the lath that im reading up on and trying to learn now. I inhearteded my exs lath when he died as none of the kids are into woodworking. actually I inheartehed most of tools, including a glass blasting case or is it cabinet. I learned how to do the blasting when we were married only back then I blasted inside of a old washing machine lol I have everything I need now I think to start blasting again once I read enough on line so I can set the air commpersser up for it. … im sure spike will help me with that too. any way im glad you liked the pictures. im trying to get my youngest daughter to take some pictures of the D&D screen I made for her for xmass. I used my dermal to line work and carve 3 different pictures on each panel. and I made her husband a simple darth vader clock. lol hes a huge star wars fan. lol I hope to get into the wood shop tomarrow since I spent today watching tv and doing plastic canvas. lol im making 2 sets of dragon coasters with a castle ( back piece) and water ( front piece) holder. since I collect dragons I just had to make a set for me. lol all I have to do now is put the details on the dragons and then some felt on the backs of everythigng…. I printed out the lastest toy pattern from steve good, and I have one or 2 other wood projects to transfer to wood yet so I can get started on them I might let the craft room go for tomarrow so I can play lol its not like the stuff in theres going anywhere. lol sheba gos back to the vets on Monday for her recheck, im sure its going to go well because shes doing so good!!! although when I make her take her meds in the morning and then at night she goes to sit with daddy for half an hour of so before she forgives me and come back to sit with me. lol but that's ok with me, its worth it just to have her with me for a while longer. well since I don't have any more wood working related things to talk about id best get off here..... espically since I think I put this post in the wrong section!!! i'll try to do better from now on. lol id delet this in put it in the right spot but this old lady is tired!!! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
