Brag Forum / Nascar & Merry Go Rounds.... :+}

« on: August 02, 2011, 06:20:45 pm »

Have a line up of Nascar cars going, but wanted to show my TWO FAVORITES.
     One of um will win all the beans this year.  Hope its Jeff.... 

Cut this wat I call a merry go round.  I made the normal animals according to the plans, but modified the other with the dinosoars.  Gonna make some for Christmas, Easter, Halloween etc. 

The Cars designer is our very own Steve Good.  The other I can't remember where I got the pattern.  Some mag. I think.  Anyway  Later....  Danny  :+}

Brag Forum / A Clock & Dragon....:+}

« on: August 01, 2011, 05:21:48 pm »

Howdy....  Golly Gee it sure is HOT down in Dixie....Whew!
                                Anyway
Here's a couple of Steve's designs.  Had a lot of fun cutting both.
The clock is basic....3/4 pine & 1/2 popular.  This is the very FIRST
time I made a craft with a clock.  The dang thing cost me $15.00
counting S&H!!!!  Awful....  That's the cost for ONLY the clock!  Think
I won't mess with crafts that need a clock anymore.  Oh yea I do two
Craft Shows each year and I would have to put a cost of $30 just to break even.
That's to rich for folks around here.  Anyway I enjoyed cutting the
dragon and kind of made the oval a insert thing.  Came out ok for me.
Okey Dokey....Time to attack....  Later Danny  :+}

Now that type of a box is interesting....  You did a GREAT job on cutting it and assembling it.  I just LOVE your wood choices.  How difficult was it to apply that felt on the drawers insides?  Later....  Danny  :+}

Think the Lacquer might be better than the Poly. But would you believe that Lowes or Home Depot here DO NOT sell the spray lacquer?  They used to and I took someones advice about using it and bought a few cans and I do remember it going on good and shorter drying time and Yes I think it was better than poly....  I asked one of the employees that worked in the paint department and was told that it didn't sell very well, so it was discontinued.
Makes me wonder WHY? 

Yes Dan I have applied your brown paper bag trick and Yes I like it.  Yea!

And Torsten I buy from Sloans, so will check into that Beech.  Sounds right up my alley. 

GB I don't know what got me into want to finish all my projects with the HIGH GLOSS poly., but this is how I feel makes them look better.  Will give the SEMI-GLOSS a try. 

Later....  Danny  :+}

What is everyones flavor on getting a real high gloss on Baltic Birch?
Think I am developing a problem with this wood.  Using a OIL product like Steves Lemon Oil, or Dans BLO/Spirits or any of the Danish oil products I just DO NOT see a real good grain pattern afterwords.  To Light....And even after three coats of Minwax Poly. there is only a SLIGHT shine to it.  Hey am I doing something wrong?   Thoughts of yours are appreaciated.  Danny :+(

Howdy Dan////AND EVERYONE////....  I made many of the Gift Certificate Holders back yonder and they sold real well.  Maybe I was wrong, but I asked $5.00 and sold a dozen.  ((((No gift card included))))  LOL  It was in November and of course close to CHRISTMAS, so thats probably why.  Anyway.
     I made mine out of a THINNER wood that I bought from Hobby Lobby.  Was a touch thinner than the 1/8" BB.  Looked better being THINNER.  Steve has many different patterns for the front/back of each.  Anyway....  Danny  :+}
