Popular Post RabidAlien Posted June 16, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 Tiffany was booked, so.... Put this pattern together the other day, after watching the Clint Eastwood movie on TV (yet again). This is one of the best lines in a movie full of memorable quotes ("Dyin' ain't much of a livin', boy." "You gonna pull those pistols or whistle Dixie?") and one of the iconic poses from the movie posters. Dang thing is huge, there were parts where the distance between blade and corner of piece exceeded the 16" throat of my saw. Makes for some interesting cutting, having to run off into the waste areas and come back from the other direction. 3/8" ply, #1 Pegas MG blades (two of em), stack cut two at once. Next up, trimming the backers to size and seeing if Lowes has enough lumber to build a frame. Once I figure out a way to stain these (I'm thinking about "building" a container out of aluminum foil), these will be a dark color, probably Minwax Provincial or Honey, and the backer will be as light as I can get it. Probably do the frame dark, too. Pattern is linked here: amazingkevin, Jim McDonald, Dave Monk and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RabidAlien Posted June 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 Stained up and ready to assemble. Minwax Honey, I think the backer is Minwax Oak or Ipswitch Pine. One of the backers I experimented with scorching. Dave Monk, John B and lgtaylor 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta watch out for those Ole'West hedgehogs. LOL Lone Watie had some great lines, too. "Snuk up on by a white man. That's not right."

John B Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 The finished item looks gooder than before I do prefer the plain backing as IMHO the burnt grain detracts from the cutting. RabidAlien 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
