I've been busy in my shed again

Had a go at making some wooden pictures. The wood is cut through and I've put black felt behind it to give a good contrast. The picture of me and Jan was tweaked on the computer to make a very high contrast photo which I turned into a pattern.





Then I thought about getting ready for Christmas.

 

You do some great work in that shed of yours

 

I'm practicing so I can sell portraits in wood. This time next year I'm gonna be a millionaire.

 

Starting to get ready for my craft fair at the end of the month.

Wooden jigsaws



and an advertising sign to go on the stall for my wooden key rings. It's got a proper sized one at the top and the other three are about 100 times bigger to attract all the customers.

 

The portraits are a great idea ....

 

You're very talented

 

I like them sandybay.
which scrollsaw machine do you use, and what size blades do you use.
I have a axminster saw but have not gotten round to using it much..yet. busy with other things on van instead....

 

Great stuff my dad used to do all that stuff i think his machine is in my mums garage somewhere testing patience prob not good idea at mo , great work thou bob, when you are a millionaire you wont forget us will you and move to another level

 

how the hell do you do the key rings...?

 

Slowly and carefully.

 

Here's a pic of the saw I learned on. I still use this for the very delicate stuff



These are the blades I use most, I have to get them from the USA because no one in England stocks them.



For the thicker wood or when I'm stack cutting I use this



I'm getting properly organised for the craft fair in a couple of weeks so I got some business cards and then made a stand to put them on.



How I'm gonna laugh if I've gone to all this trouble and nobody buys anything.

 

That's what I've heard!

 

A very thin blade.

 

By hand?

 

I have done but the scrollsaw machine is easier as it keeps the cut vertical.

 

very impressive....

Come make me some stairs....

 

No problem.........they will however be ..............very little stairs

 

What's wrong with brico?
