Early Access Video: Vintage Saw Art
Added 2018-09-20 11:22:08 +0000 UTCFriends:
This week, I'm collaborating with the amazing Iron Gordon. He does really slick, vintage-style art in a bunch of mediums. He's big on Instagram, but hasn't really gotten the YouTube thing happening yet. He deserves a big following, so I'm hoping to throw some attention his way.
Together, we collaborated on this HUGE vintage crosscut saw; like the kind that lumber jocks would have used to cut up tree trunks. He painted the saw; I made an intricate segmented handle and sphere ends for it. It's crazy and I hope you all enjoy it.
Also, I realize I'm behind on the drawing for the jack plane. I hope that happens before this weekend. And the AMA video is still on. It's just a time thing.
Thanks so much for your patience and continued support!
It's almost Friday,

I mix it on blue painter's tape that I stick to my bench-top. That helps with the mess.

2018-09-20 22:19:13 +0000 UTCYou know, I'm not sure it would have helped. For wood-to-wood, the conventional wisdom is the wood glue is best, although I don't know for sure. It's a tricky subject. I think if I did it again, I'd go epoxy.

2018-09-20 12:31:25 +0000 UTCI must say - it came out amazing!! at first I thought that adding spheres would be "too much", but the segments, extra long size and the balls actually complement the painting so nicely! it reminds me of a happy circus flag (or sign). in a good way, that is :) Looking at it makes me smile and think happy woodworking thoughts! cheers!
