Welcome, and by all means show more of the amazng pieces you have...they are impressive to say the least... lalon
Thanks! Hey... thanks everyone. Thats very cool of you all. Gatchabert --- Sounds like some interesting stuff ya got there. I'll have to find some time to look at some of whats out there (New stuff). As for the Mopar - "DARTZILLA"... I'll have to post some photos on my site. I'll let ya know when I get to that. Should be very soon. mikeee --- Sorry, I can't do 99.9999999% for ya. How about 90%? ; ] Chad --- I thought the info was still up there, but if it's not, I'll repost. Here's the LINK to the photos. Batman has sold as well as the 2 Ultra Taros. Couple interests on Zetton, but I was hoping no one would notice him as me kinda likes. Anyway... just got home from work, got some stuff to take care of, so I'll check it out later. http://boshzilla.com/gallery/8.html Thanks again all of you guys and gals. You ROCK!!! ERIK (Boshzilla)
Cool...Welcome Boshzilla..its not often someone digs a hole that deep and actually has the guts to actually try and make it out. Vintage Kaiju and Mopars! La Pinga!!! I gotta 66 Formula S 4-speed...well...I crashed it...but Im a gonna fix her!
Hey Erik, Welcome! I look forward to picking that kinder, gentler brain ... I'm also a woodworker, here are a couple of recent pieces I made ... One's a Nakashima 'homage' (aka blatant copy) Conoid chair, the other's just a little tool tote/rack that I use to keep the 'current-usage' tools from getting lost in the sawdust ... both from one nice slab of black CA walnut. I'm just about to finish up a little Palladian-style display stand for a few vinyls, will post pics if I ever manage to finish it. Let's see some of yours! CC
Hey CC, Wow! Thats some amazing work. I'd say you're much more of a Craftsman, than I. Unfortunately, I mostly work with Baltic birch plywood, and pine building custom guitar amplifier cabinets, but I've been working with wood since I was a kid. Dads garage had always been a Shop instead. I pretty much worked with him every weekend (whether I wanted too or not). We did some pretty cool stuff though and I learned a lot, so there's no complaints. I'll scrounge-up some picts of some of the unique amps I've built. Unfortunately, they're finished (covered in vinyls, corners, etc...), but you'll get the idea. I know I have some unfinished picts somewhere too. Do you do inlays too? I'd love to learn that. Here's a LINK to a page on my Dads site showing some woodgraphics. He's a graphic artist and has done just about anything you can imagine over the years. Thanks for sharing...again, "Beautiful" work! http://itsart.com/gallery/ ERIK (Boshzilla)
awesome work from you guys...as usual, the talent on this board is crazy. thought i'd throw these in here while we're high on wood. these are carved red oak, based on the price is right.
amazing woodwork miami, those are great. and jermy.. those price is right pieces are awesome! you clearly have a great sense of humor.
Yoinks Jermy, what made you want to carve in oak, of all things? Makes for tough carvings ... but I bet it was some awfully tough stuff to be carving, too. Have you tried basswood (or even poplar or pine)? It would be a LOT easier going. That said, I think those are a pure-D hoot - the prizes and Haney's face slay me. Erik, I certainly have not done any marquetry/inlay that's up to the level of your Dad's. I did make this tray, but it's a different technique (this one is actually called 'diaperwork,' of all things). (Can you tell I was a Qbert fan?) If you want to see some of the most amazing marquetry ever made, check out Silas Kopf here - http://www.silaskopf.com/gallery.html CC http://www.silaskopf.com/gallery.html
yeah dude, i'm switching to pine/bass, softer wood. think i'm gonna carve me up some kaiju next. i just happened upon oak, didn't realize how crazy hard it was. q-bert board is be-youtiful.
Miami - that's some incredibly impressive stuff you've made! I absolutely love wood working - not that I do any myself, but I wish I knew how. We just looked at a house yesterday that had custom floors put in, they were beautiful and nearly sold us on the house. But after looking up from the floors we realized it was too small for us.
